NFL Championship Game Running Thread

[DanOregon]

So I didn't hear anything - but did Fox make any mention of Brady joining the broadcast team next year? Its odd because after the announcement he was taking a "gap year" there has been nothing about it. No reports of Brady doing simulated games with Burkhardt, not appearing on any of Fox's NFL programming at all. I still think it will be quietly announced that he's decided to "focus on his Raiders duties" (and supermodels) - and maybe Fox brings Belichick aboard in some capacity.

I'm still hoping for a Belichick-Saban podcast 0r Manning-cast of some type. It would be like a beer bong of football knowledge.

One would think some network would pay more for a Belichick-Saban collaboration than a podcast would pay. But networks are stupid.

Not telegenic. Outside the target demo....

This is where those old Miller Lite commercials could help them.

Because I never considered John Madden telegenic when he was ranting on the Raiders sideline.

It's understood that he will go into the booth and replace Olsen, which would be a mistake. Burkhardt and Olsen are a really good team. Brady should go into the studio, where he's seen (not just heard) on pregame, halftime and postgame. Plus, that Fox studio show could be helped by going younger.

Detroit can have Eminem. San Francisco has Hunter Pence.

Looks like Hunter got the Uecker Club seats.

Hunter Pence had the best don't-ever-forking-try-this batting stances I've ever seen.

Gary Sheffield laps the field. Go to a batting cage and try that with a wood bat. Impossible.

Vegas is going to be nuts. Imagine the casinos flying in whales left and right, promising them tickets they don't yet have and hoping that just getting them in the door will be good enough.

Like when they had the game at Jerry's World?
