So I beleive this is it's last year, I'll look it up again to see if I am correct.

Now was that just for TSN so that they could retain Sunday Night football, and get the monday night game as well? I wouldn't think NBC would be able to tell ESPN that they can't show their show when they want to....But this is the NFL, and that is the one sport that does have a lot of clout. Am I hullucinating, or are they also going to start the Sunday game earlier next year too. I remember NBC's reasoning was that they could get the game on earlier coast to coast and felt they could draw better ratings with an earlier time slot than the Monday Night game could. Either way it will suck if primetime isn't aired next season until after the game. At least we should still get Countdown in the mornings.
