Big Stories (& The End of an Era?)
November 28th, 2005 by BWV
There were several great NFL games yesterday. The decidely worst storyline was Jay Feely’s 3 consecutive missed field goals in the Giants’ stunning loss.
Unquestionably, the best story came from the Rams’ 3rd string rookie QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.. a Harvard graduate who had never taken a snap in the NFL.
I even won’t attempt to give this story justice. If you missed Chris Berman & Tom Jackson’s entertaining account of that game on NFL PrimeTime last night, you gotta check out the story via St. Louis Mercury News .
Feel-good things aside..
In a development I can’t stomach, Berman & Jackson’s wildly popular show is apparently finished after this season.
NBC signed a huge 5-year deal with the NFL that includes Sunday night football, among other things. I certainly hope it turns out better than the unworthy Nascar productions they brought us this season.
I don’t understand exactly how this cuts out ESPN’s rights to air PrimeTime, but hey, media deals aren’t my forte.
A lot of folks — including yours truly — will dearly miss Chris & Tom.
Huge.
