Rumor has the 49ers being the opponent for the Cardinals in the Mexico City Monday Night game.

I love the 6:30am games when I remember they're on.

Same here! I wouldn’t like it on a regular basis, but I love having breakfast and watching an NFL game for a couple of weeks every year. So it’s the Jaguars Invitational….who cares?? It’s an NFL game coming to you live and in living color.

 

[meStevo]

Yeah, and once the season is well underway it feels like less of a marathon day of football than that MNF double header to open the season.

Interesting that it’s Week 2 with the two MNF games and not Week 1.

 

[meStevo]

I'll be surprised if it's not also week 1

Hoping to travel to Chiefs @ Chargers and Bucs @ Cardinals this year. TBD on how we use our Raiders season tickets, will hash that out this weekend.

Oh, I never even considered that. Perhaps the Week 2 MNF twin bill is a leak?

I’m also mildly surprised of the order of the Week 2 twin bill. IMO, Titans-Bills is more of a marquee matchup and should have went to ABC and the later time slot.

Nah, the thin line between leak and preview, it was revealed by the NFL.

Slow drip all week until the schedule reveal on the 12th.

Sorry, that’s what I meant. I know it was revealed by Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on GMA this morning.

49ers at Rams is my prediction for the kickoff game.

 

[Jimbo]

Looks like the Rams will open on the Thursday night game (Sept 8th) ...vs TBD .

Once he retires, Brady will call games with Kevin Burkhardt, essentially becoming Fox's new Troy Aikman.

His contract is more than double of both Troy Aikman and Tony Romo.

Tom Brady gets monster 10-year, $375 million deal from Fox Sports

It is the largest contract in sportscasting history, as it more than doubles both CBS’ Tony Romo and ESPN’s Troy Aikman in average annual salary of $18 million per season.

*spit take* Does this guy fart ratings?!

FOX Sports Executive: $250 million for 10 years? He hasn't even called a game.
FOX Sports Analyst: He farted and ratings went up 2.7.
FOX Sports Executive: Give him $375 million.

I do not get the money being spent on announcers. As long as it isn't Gus Ferguson calling Soccer (painful!), does it really matter that much? Are people not tuning in because Ian Eagle is making the call?

Why is he still playing when he could make a lot more money in the booth?

I’m totally with ya!! You’re talking to a guy that spent a Saturday afternoon waaaaay back in December 1981 watching a Jets-Dolphins on NBC. There were no announcers on that game, and guess what? I enjoyed it anyway (maybe I was just happy that I didn’t have to be subjected to Bob Trumpy for another 3 hours ).
