Only downside I see is maybe Bill shot his wad on this show by telling his Moss and LT stories right up front.

BB's gonna find out it's hard to keep people entertained throughout 17 MNF games.

Not sure if holding back was the way to go, but still, wonder what else he's gonna bring to the table.

Pat: Ladies and gentlemen welcome Barry Sanders!
BB: *awestruck* How'd you get him up here?
Sanders: Hey everyone check out my limited edition jacket which you can buy at barrysanders20.com

Was kind of hilarious

McAfee seemed to be giving him credit for getting some of the people on for interviews. I was impressed with Payton's analysis of Bo Nix. I would have been happy with a tackle and then Bo Nix. We will see how it works. Impressed with Kevin O'Connell also.

Dozens of "I traded a fourth round pick to Al Davis and got Randy Moss back" stories?

I mean you and I will find the stories of trading up for Matt Light or Ty Warren interesting, but how many other football fans will?

Sure, but he just signed up to do 17 MNF games, how long will they last?

Guys got 50 years of coaching experience. I’m sure he’ll figure it out. Just listening to him on the top 100 says a lot of his mystique and story telling.

Not sure you could have gotten Bo Nix and a tackle. You never know how far back you can slide. Lots of people were thinking you could get Nix or Pennix in the 20’s.
You can’t mess around with a QB. If you think someone win a playoff game, lead your team, can earn a second contract and be a 5-8 year starter, you just have to take them at your spot. It’s not a FF redraft. You aren’t making value picks here. It is your franchise.

Hopefully Belichick won't go off on non-sports conversations like McAfee's former BFF, Aaron Rodgers.

He seemed a bit uncomfortable when McAffee made mention of the patriots and how long he had been there.. Bill made a slight pause when McAfee asked him about his tenure.. when Bill was going over film I also noticed he kept mentioning "we"..

I agree. I was sort of hoping for a trade down (unless they really loved someone there at three)...boy, they'd have been desperately hoping that Rattler was better than the scouting reports!

I am sure he's got 48 years worth of anecdotes. As much as I hate the Mannings, if he's on there, I'll be watching.

You and I will love all of those stories, but the average football fan under 30 years old doesn’t give a crap about Harry Carson, Mark Bavaro, or Kevin Falk.

He will probably want to talk about the actual game so those old stories won't be the sole reason he's on.

No, but he'll have plenty of stories about Ty Law, Rodney Harrison, Aquib Talib and Rob Gronkowski to keep everyone entertain for a few years.

His film breakdown alone last night was worth tuning in.

Every Pats fan, that is.

Other fan bases feel the same way we feel about watching the Mannings, i.e. **** them.

Agree, hopefully this will transcend the fan bases, but maybe not.

Kinda funny seeing Darius Butler sitting by him. Didn’t he get in Bill’s doghouse here? Guy kinda fell off the map here after his rookie year.

I missed the Lawrence Taylor story, can someone post that....

Speaking of which, I am sure he has a LOT of LT stories, many of which he cannot recount on the air.

BB is the best guy I have ever heard at analyzing players. Unlike most commentators, he is not lazy, does his homework and knows his stuff.
