Last night Buck and Aikman said they'd be doing the London game Sunday then the Monday nighter in Cleveland. Cannot possibly do that except private.
Didn't catch that. Wow. Definitely have to go private. Pretty sure there are no direct flights between London and Cleveland. Why wouldn't they send Levy/Riddick/Orlofsky to London?

I want to clarify, Buck didn't say specifically he and Aikman would be doing the London game. But he sure as hell implied it when he gave the heavy promo about it being a two-game weekend for ESPN. I certainly made that ashumption off his words.
PS: If anyone (like me) doesn't have ESPN+, are they going to sign up for it to catch the Broncos and Jaguars. I can't imagine that.
Probably not going to sign up for that dreck. Unfortunately, we'll still get it on the local ABC station with a lovely 7:30 a.m. kickoff.
And I went to look. Levy, Riddick and Orlovsky are calling the game. Made zero sense to have Buck and Aikman do both of them.

Wouldn't surprise me if Buck did that. Remember a few years back he did a 49ers game at Candlestick at 1 PST, then limo'ed to a Giants postseason game at then-AT&T Park at 5:30, a helicopter tracking him all the way?
Anyone getting ESPN+ just for Broncos-Jaguars is encouraged to seek professional help.
Doesn't Buck live in Denver now, or at least spend a lot of time there?
It'll be amusing to see Eagle and Raftery (God willing) working together again.
Don't know for sure about Buck living here full time.

Ten years ago little St. Peter's would really be looking forward to the season, coming off a miracle Elite-8 run. They'd still be a media darling.
Now, their coach bailed to Seton Hall, took about three starters with him and another starter bailed to Bryant, all with instant eligibility. St. Peter's will probably be bad this year and it will be almost like 2022 never happened.
