Hello, everyone. The NFL regular season schedule was released on Thursday night and now, we have the schedule for the NFL on Fox. Fox Sports will be a lot busier than normal this year with Thursday Night Football presented by Bud Light in addition to their regular Sunday afternoon coverage. Fox Sports enters their 25th season covering games primarily from the NFC with some all-AFC games or AFC-NFC games mixed in. Fox Sports will start their NFL coverage with two preseason games: Thursday, August 23rd (Eagles at Browns - 8:00 PM ET) and Sunday, August 26th (Bengals at Bills - 4:00 PM ET). Following that, Fox's regular-season coverage will start on Sunday, September 9th with 7 games, headlined by a clash between the Dallas Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers on America's Game of the Week. Each week during the regular season, I will creating an distribution breakdown & announcers post that can be found in the "Blog Archive" section of this website. The Fox broadcast network will be the home to 113 games this season.
On this post, we will only be focusing on Fox's regular Sunday coverage.

Why is there not a late afternoon game in Week 11?
ReplyDeleteFox will more than likely either move one of their 1 pm games (DAL-ATL, MIN-CHI, TB-NYG, PHI-NO or CAR-DET) to that slot or cross-flex an game over from CBS ...
DeleteThe game that's moved would most likely be DAL-ATL or PHI-NO with the darkhorse being MIN-CHI.
DeleteI think it'll be Phi vs NO Dallas is gonna struggle this year they'll remain at 1pm
DeleteYeah. Cowboys-Falcons doesn't deserve no where near 4:25. I think Eagles at Saints has better appeal tho. The Saints are coming up and Eagles are defending SB champions. Show Philly and New Orleans some love. Besides Dallas ALWAYS get lead DH games all the time because of Fox = Cowboys thing, let someone get an lead DH or two. Dallas is America's Team, we get it. Don't show Dallas as lead DH every game time Fox, that's too much if one team.

Just wanna let everyone know that Kristina Pink will be now be doing TNF with Buck, Aikman & Andrews. Pink will no longer be doing Sunday afternoon games. So there's an opening now on the Albert/Barber crew....
ReplyDeleteWill Erin Andrews be with Kevin Burkhardt on non doubleheader days or Kenny Albert
DeleteRene, Erin Andrews will now do any Sunday games that are Buck/Aikman are doing, that's it. She's no longer working non-doubleheader days.
DeleteLol okay
DeleteI think Joe Buck does Cin-Buf for preseason
ReplyDeleteI believe so. Because of the Cleveland Browns !!! Eagles-Browns will get Burkhardt & Davis while Bengals-Bills will get Buck & Aikman I think.
DeleteFinally he'll be calling a Bills game in Buffalo Joe Buck will
Deletedoes Aaron Goldsmith do football?
ReplyDeleteAaron Goldsmith does football. He calls college football for Fox & FS1.
DeleteDO u think he will do a NFL game this year?
DeleteYeah maybe. if Fox has 7 or 8 games in certain week, their college football schedule is light for that particular week and Rosen is not used for an certain week and if Fox used some of their college football talent, then sure. We'll see.

No way Dallas gets the B-Team in the 4:25 window, though that has been done in the past. That would happen only if both teams get off to a 0-3 or 1-2 start.
ReplyDeleteCIN/BUF preseason game: Kevin Burkhardt, Charles Davis & Pam Oliver. So by process of elimination: Buck, Aikman & Andrews will have the PHI/CLE preseason game.

Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play), Charles Davis (analyst) & Pam Oliver (sidelines) for MIN-GB Week 2.
ReplyDeleteIn Week 5 will Buck & Aikman do MIN-PHI or LAR-SEA?
ReplyDeleteLikely MIN/PHI. Re-match of last year's NFC Championship (38-7 Philly win). Although LAR/SEA shall be better in terms of team matchups.
DeleteMore NFL on FOX confirmations
ReplyDelete* Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber and Tiki Barber have PHI/TB in Week 2.

* CHI-MIA (Week 6): Custer/Jennings/Doug Gottlieb
I just saw a promo for the Week 1 games on FS1. It had the Jaguars-Giants game as the primary early game, but they have the #3 team calling the game. Why is this game the primary game over 49ers-Vikings?
ReplyDeleteBecause of Giants RB Saquon Barkley making his "official" NFL debut and the Jaguars' defense getting ever better. Remember, Kenny/Ronde did the Week 1 "primary" early game of Eagles-Redskins last year while the #2 crew of Burkhardt/Davis worked Falcons-Bears.
DeleteIt just says that for some reason, but it is often nominal how they present it. The most viewed early game is SF-Min.
DeleteWill Thom Brennaman fill in for Joe Buck when Buck does the MLB Postseason? Thom has done so the past 9 years.
ReplyDeleteI would have to think that Thom Brennaman will get field promoted, sort of speak, to the #1 "NFL on FOX" crew with Troy Aikman & sideline reporter Erin Andrews while Joe Buck is on "MLB on FOX" playoff duty next month. I also think that'll be the plan for FOX's new "Thursday Night Football" partnership with NFL Network.
DeleteI also believe that Kenny Albert will move up to #2, working with Charles Davis & Pam Oliver while Kevin Burkhardt is in Los Angeles studio hosting NLDS, NLCS & the World Series pre & postgame. For the record, FOX, FOX Sports 1 & MLB Network will have the National League Playoffs, while TBS has the American League this year.
Thom has a chance of not having to fill in at all this year. Weeks 6-7 are singleheaders for FOX so the #1 crew will not call a Sunday game, and all of the Thursdays are travel days for the National League Playoffs so Joe may be able to do all of the TNF games. Better yet, if the Dodgers make the world series, with AGOTW in week 8 being in LA, there is a possibility that Joe could call both Packers-Rams and the World Series on that Sunday (he's done it before in San Fransisco with the 30 minute in between travel time). He could do it if the dodgers make it because of the Rams. Otherwise Thom fills in Week 8
DeleteIf I remember correctly, Joe Buck worked the marquee game between the Giants & 49ers at Candlestick Park that Sunday afternoon in October. No sooner did the NFL game wrap up, Buck did like a native San Franciscan (?) on a cable car and made his way to AT&T Park for the Rangers/Giants' World Series Game that same night. Talk about a long day's journey into night...
DeleteABSHARK, you are correct about Buck calling two games in one day. Here's the story.
DeleteThis is the day which Buck worked both NFL and MLB: Sunday, October 14, 2012. Buck worked the Week 6 Giants-49ers America's Game of the Week at 4:25 PM with Troy Aikman & Pam Oliver. Then, traveled on cable car to AT&T Park for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco Giants with Tim McCarver, Ken Rosenthal & Erin Andrews.
Thanks for correcting me on that second part. I thought it was a World Series game, not Cardinals/Giants NLCS Game 1. I definitely remember Joe Buck working the late "NFL on FOX" game in Giants/49ers and then traveling on a cable car and arriving minutes later at AT&T Park to call the MLB Playoff game that same Sunday night. At that time, I don't think FS1 has much access to MLB Playoff games like they do now.
DeleteWho do you think will call Cleveland @ Oakland Game On Week 4
ReplyDeleteIt will most likely be Albert-Barber, and Stockton-Schlereth will call the Seahawks-Cardinals game. Honestly if the combined records of the Browns and Raiders are better than the Lions and Cowboys, Burkhardt/Davis/Oliver should call the game, but that would never happen, even if DET and DAL are both 0-3 and CLE is 2-0-1 and OAK is 2-1 going into their matchups.
DeleteSam Rosen & Cris Carter are on the call for Saints Falcons Week 3
ReplyDeleteThanks Rene!
DeleteAccording to 506sports Sam Rosen and Cris Carter are calling Saints-Falcons in week 3 (which is crazy since it might be the primary game). Assuming Sarah Kustok is the reporter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonah!
DeleteIf the Rams keep winning, they should get the #1 or #2 team for the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteYeah most likely.
DeleteSpeaking of the Rams, they were supposed to play the 49ers on NBC Sports' "Sunday Night Football" next Sunday night, October 21st. That has been changed. The Rams/49ers' game will now be a 3:25P (CT) kickoff with Bengals/Chiefs being flexed in its place. That word came yesterday from the NFL.
DeleteWho do you think is calling Browns Vs Tampa Bay Week 7???
ReplyDeleteWho do you think is calling Browns Vs Tampa Bay Week 7???
ReplyDeleteIt might be the crew calling Bears/Dolphins this Sunday on the "NFL on FOX". This Browns/Buccaneers' game next Sunday probably has Brian Custer, Greg Jennings & Doug Gottlieb's names written all over it. I know that Custer, Ben Leber & Jennifer Hale have called a couple of college football games on FOX & FOX Sports 1 respectively. I'm not sure if that's still the plan.
DeleteI think Bears/Dolphins this Sunday would have gotten a better crew if Chris Myers, Daryl "Moose" Johnston and Laura Okmin aren't going to London for Seahawks/Raiders. That being said, I've read some great things about Custer, not to mention reading about his health scare pertaining to prostate cancer at a very early age.
Dick Stockton would likely call the Browns vs Bucs matchup & not Custer since he'd be back calling College Football & Fox has the single header in Week 7 with 5 games with crews 2-6 calling games with Albert/Davis Rosen/Barber TBA/Spielman Myers/Johnston & Stockton/Schlereth
DeleteIt's just a guess at this point. That's all it is. I've noticed that Dick Stockton, Mark Schlereth & Jennifer Hale have called mainly "NFL on FOX" games out West so far this season, including the Bears/Cardinals' game in Glendale, AZ a couple of weeks ago.
DeleteI can understand the logic considering that Schlereth, I believe, co-hosts a morning sports talk radio show in Denver. I've also noticed the former Broncos' Super Bowl Champion lineman is a frequent guest on FOX Sports 1's live sports debate shows such as "Skip & Shannon Undisputed" & "Speak For Yourself", both based in Los Angeles. I don't know if Stockton has a home out West either.
I remember reading before they died a few years ago, 2 veteran football broadcasters were specifically assigned games either out West or very close to their respective homes. The late, great Pat Summerall continued to call "NFL on FOX" games regionally from 2002-06 and the annual Cotton Bowl from 2007-10. Summerall called those games in large part because they weren't too far from his home in Dallas and it was prior to his death in 2013.
Finally, I remember Keith Jackson called college football games on ABC until 2006. Before he retired completely that April, Jackson called mainly college games close to his California home. Jackson passed away this past January.
Week 7 crews are
ReplyDeleteAlbert/Davis (replacing Buck/Aikman as #1)
Rosen/Barber (replacing Burkhardt/Davis as #2)
Brennaman/Spielman (replacing Albert/Barber as #3) Thom won't be filling for Joe since Troy isn't scheduled for work next weekend.
Myers/Johnston (replacing Brennaman/Spielman as #4)
Stockton/Schlereth (replacing Myers/Johnston as #5)

DeleteDick Stockton is on the call for Lions vs Dolphins Week 7 Jen Hale confirmed on Twitter
ReplyDeleteWell the Dodgers are in the World Series! If there is a game 5 it would be in Los Angeles next Sunday, the same day as Packers-Rams in LA. Joe Buck will be calling all of the games in the series, so will he call two games in one day again?? We will find out soon!
ReplyDeleteJoe Buck might just pull it off again. Working Packers/Rams at the L.A. Coliseum late Sunday afternoon followed by Game 5 of the World Series with Red Sox/Dodgers (If Necessary). FOX has the NFL doubleheader this coming Sunday and then the World Series shortly thereafter. The 2 venues are about 5 miles apart. There's also the matter of Dolphins/Texans on "Thursday Night Football" down in Houston sandwiched in between.
DeleteI think it will be too stress for Joe Buck unless NFL on FOX President Eric Shanks is mean.
DeleteSeahawks–Lions will be Kevin Kugler, Chris Spielman, Ronde Barber, and Shannon Spake https://twitter.com/MikeFossWXYZ/status/1054541865888948224
ReplyDeleteI'm confused. What is the order for the Week 8 crews, from top to bottom?
ReplyDelete1. Joe Buck or Thom Brennaman (one of the two)/Troy Aikman/Erin Andrews: GB-LAR
Delete2. Kenny Albert/Charles Davis/Pam Oliver: WSH-NYG
3. Kevin Kugler/Chris Spielman and Ronde Barber/Shannon Spake: SEA-DET (the normal #4 crew moves up to #3, with Barber added.)
4. Chris Myers/Daryl Johnston/Laura Okmin: TB-CIN (the normal #5 crew moves up to #4)
5. Dick Stockton/Mark Schlereth/Jennifer Hale: SF-ARI (the normal #6 crew moves up to #5)
1. Joe Buck/Troy Aikman/Erin Andrews/Kristina Pink: MIAMI at HOUSTON
Delete2. Kenny Albert/Charles Davis/Pam Oliver: WASHINGTON AT NEW YORK GIANTS
3. Thom Brennaman/Troy Aikman/Erin Andrews and Kristina Pink: GREEN BAY AT LOS ANGELES RAMS
4. Kevin Kugler/Chris Spielman and Ronde Barber/Shannon Spake: SEATTLE AT DETROIT
5. Chris Myers/Daryl Johnston/Laura Okmin: TAMPA BAY AT CINCINNATI
6. Dick Stockton/Mark Schlereth/Jennifer Hale: SAN FRANCISCO AT ARIZONA.
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/entertainment/tv/article220453855.html
ReplyDeleteBased on this article, it is confirmed that Thom Brennaman will call Packers-Rams if a game 5 happens in the world series. This is the evidence:
One game a day should also be an easy challenge for Buck. In 2012 in San Francisco, he did a Giants-49ers game and less than an hour later was in the booth for Game 1 of the NCLS between the Cardinals and Giants.
There were rumblings that Buck was going to repeat that Sunday with the Rams hosting the Packers at the LA Memorial Coliseum and then a possible Game 5 at Dodger Stadium. But Buck said he would stick to just baseball due to Los Angeles traffic and an already heavy schedule.
He will call Dolphins-Texans on Thursday night though since that is a travel day for the World Series. If there isn't a game 5 he might call it. The NFL should release the announcers later today so we will find out if there is a chance or not.
Brennaman will do one of three things this weekend: Here's your chart of possibilities!
Delete1.) Call no games this weekend because Kevin Kugler is taking his spot ...
2.) Call MIA/HOU on Thursday night if the World Series has a postponement either tonight or tomorrow ..
3.) Call GB/LAR on Sunday afternoon if the World Series goes to a game 5 ... (or 4)
I think for this week only, I'd keep Joe Buck on the World Series with John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal & Tom Verducci on this World Series matchup between the Dodgers & Red Sox. Thom Brennaman gets field promoted to the #1 crew working the "Thursday Night Football" matchup with Dolphins/Texans in Houston & the Packers/Rams' game for "America's Game of the Week" Sunday in Los Angeles. That's what I would do if I ran FOX Sports.
Deletehttps://nflcommunications.com/Documents/2018%20Football%20Information/Capsules/Week%208%20Capsules.pdf
DeleteAccording to the weekly capsules which come straight from the NFL Thom is calling the game on Sunday regardless if the World Series is a sweep or not. I think this settles everything except for Thursday, and I think Joe will call it since a postponement of a game in the World Series is not likely based on the forecast (the rain is supposed to stop tonight and tomorrow it will be dry)
NFL Schedule Changes made today for Weeks 10, Week 15 & Week 16

Who do you think will call Browns Vs Falcons week 10
ReplyDeleteAccording to Sun-Times' Bears reporter Brad Biggs, Bears' fans will get a double dose of Chris Myers, Daryl "Moose" Johnston & sideline reporter Laura Okmin. FOX Sports has assigned Myers, Johnston & Okmin to Buffalo for the Bears/Bills' game this Sunday, November 4 and next Sunday, November 11 for the Lions/Bears' game at Soldier Field.
ReplyDeleteWho gets flexed to the 325 game on Nov 18 Eagles at Saints or Vikings at Bears
ReplyDeletePhiladelphia/New Orleans most likely.
DeleteThat's a great question. I think the NFL decides 2 weeks in advance along with its TV partners. The Eagles/Saints' game, along with Vikings/Bears & Cowboys/Falcons are all in play for that 3:25P time slot, not to mention a potential flex game on NBC Sports' "Sunday Night Football". There's also a chance if things stay like this, the Rams/Bears' game December 9th could get flexed, too. We shall see in due time.
ReplyDeletehttps://nflcommunications.com/Documents/2018%20Football%20Information/Capsules/Week%209%20Capsules.pdf
ReplyDeleteFinal changes for week 9:
The Bucs-Panthers sideline reporter is Sara Walsh
The Lions-Vikings sideline reporter is Jennifer Hale
Kristina Pink will be a second sideline reporter for Rams-Saints. Its the game of the year so far (and maybe for the #1 seed in the NFC) and it is getting that type of treatment from FOX.
Who do you think is calling Browns vs Falcons Game Week 10
ReplyDeleteStockton & Schlereth, I suppose based off the bad season for both teams so far.
DeleteI doubt it i bet Brennaman & Spielman call it
DeleteWeek 10 predictions
ReplyDelete* 1:00 p.m.
Redskins vs. Buccaneers (Kevin Burkhardt, Charles Davis)
Falcons vs. Browns (Thom Brennaman, Chris Spielman)
Saints vs. Bengals (Kenny Albert, Ronde Barber)
Lions vs. Bears (Chris Myers, Daryl Johnston, Laura Okmin)
* 4:05 p.m.
Chargers vs. Raiders (Dick Stockton, Mark Schlereth)
The NFL has made 3 scheduling changes for Week #11. The Vikings/Bears' game at Soldier Field has been flexed to "Sunday Night Football". NBC will now air the first place NFC North showdown at 7:20P (CT) instead of Steelers/Jaguars. That matchup will air on CBS at Noon (CT) Sunday, November 18th. The league has also moved Eagles/Saints into the coveted 3:25P (CT) time slot so that FOX can bill it as "America's Game of the Week".
ReplyDeleteEagles-Saints has been flexed to 4:25 and the NFL is making a statement as the Vikings-Bears game gets flexed into Sunday Night Football.

ReplyDeleteAnother Bears' game has been flexed to "Sunday Night Football". No sooner do the Bears & Vikings get flexed to Sunday night, the NFL & NBC Sports have announced that the December 9th game between the Rams & Bears at Soldier Field will now kick off at 7:20P (CT) Sunday, December 9th instead of Noon.

ReplyDeleteChris Myers & Daryl Johnston on the call for Giants vs Redskins
ReplyDeleteTim Brando & Brady Quinn on the call for Lions vs Cardinals Week 14
Tim Brando does college football & basketball play-by-play, but he acknowledged on Twitter that he'll be coming off the bench to work a pair of "NFL on FOX" games on a regional basis. Brando & Brady Quinn will be calling a pair of upcoming games. The former NFL QB and FOX Sports' college football analyst revealed Sunday night on FOX Sports Radio that he's been assigned the Lions/Cardinals' game in Glendale, AZ.
ReplyDeleteAlso Pit vs Oak Thom Brennaman & Chris Spielman
ReplyDeleteDet vs Ari
The dreaded Tim Brando & Brady Quinn on the call
Tim Brando is very good calling college football & basketball play by play. He doesn't get that many bites of the NFL apple. While he & Brady Quinn will describe Lions/Cardinals with Shane Bacon on the sidelines Sunday for a very small percentage of the country, Brando's commentary regarding the lamely-named College Football Playoff is one that's shared by many. Brando wants the CFP to expand, but I don't think the college presidents are interested in turning it from a 4 team to an 8 team.
DeleteBrady Quinn is alright but Brando is just annoying when calling football games i don't mind him when he calls CBB games
DeleteRedskins vs Jaguars has been cross flexed from FOX to CBS in week 15 and will stay at 1:00 PM ET
ReplyDeleteAny word on which New York team's game in week 16 is moved from FOX to CBS? With the Colts still having an outside chance at a wild-card spot, maybe FOX decides to keep Giants-Colts with Packers-Jets being moved to CBS? Or does the NFL make that decision and not the networks? Neither game seems that compelling, but just wondering what will happen with these two games.
ReplyDeleteI think we'll have a better idea in the next couple of weeks where to find some of these late season NFL games. If the NFC North still isn't decided by the final Sunday of the regular season December 30th, that Bears/Vikings' game currently on the "NFL on FOX" could easily get moved from Noon (CT) to 3:25P (CT) so that it could get the "America's Game of the Week" billing. There's also a chance that NBC Sports might want that game for its "Sunday Night Football" finale. I think other than the Rams clinching the NFC West and still having a shot at home field throughout, the playoff picture still isn't settled by any means. The only teams that are out of the playoff money are the Raiders, Jets, Jaguars & 49ers.
ReplyDeleteThere may not be another SNF in Week 17 like last year. But you're definitely right Bears vs Vikings could get moved to 4:25pm along potentially Panthers vs Saints
DeleteThere will be SNF on NBC, but its only one game.
DeleteHello, everyone! GB-NYJ in Week 16 will remain on FOX! NYG-IND in Week 16 will now be aired on CBS. Both games are scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. ET. The NFL announced this move today. No other game changes for Week 16.
ReplyDeleteDoes Joe Buck or Kevin Burkhardt doing the Bears Packers Game Sunday
ReplyDeleteChris Myers [play-by-play], Daryl Johnston [analyst] & Laura Okmin [reporter] will be calling the Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears on Sunday, December 16th at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.
DeleteTo answer your two other questions:
Buck/Aikman will be calling Chargers-Chiefs on Thursday night, no Sunday game this week from them. Burkhardt/Davis will be calling Dallas @ Indianapolis.
I think it's the third time that Bears' fans will get the Chris Myers/Daryl "Moose" Johnston/Laura Okmin trio on the "NFL on FOX" this season. Where I'm at in Chicago, while Myers has been very impressed with the Bears' defense, a lot of fans aren't exactly thrilled that FOX Sports is sending its #5 broadcast team to Soldier Field this Sunday. Considering what's at stake if the Bears actually win this game Sunday, there are many fans that believe that FOX should've assigned a better crew even if it's not a doubleheader this weekend. I think if it was, I would think Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Erin Andrews & possibly even Kristina Pink would've been assigned this Packers/Bears' game instead of Myers, Johnston & Okmin. As is, Buck, Aikman & the two ladies on the sidelines get a doozy on "Thursday Night Football" with Chargers/Chiefs in Kansas City. That game should be a doozy.
DeleteI think Buck/Aikman is calling Tampa Bay @ Dallas Week 16
ReplyDeleteThat's a real possibility, even though the next 2 Sundays are not "NFL on FOX" doubleheaders. What will be different the next 2 weekends is that there will be Saturday NFL games. I think FOX is producing these games for NFL Network.
DeleteCurt Menefee, who we all know usually hosts the "FOX NFL Sunday" pregame from Los Angeles, will be doing play-by-play the next 2 Saturdays on NFLN. He, Nate Burleson, Steve Mariucci & sideline reporter Melissa Stark will have the games this Saturday in Texans/Jets at 3:30P (CT) as well as Redskins/Titans December 22nd, also at 3:30P (CT) on NFLN. I think what will be interesting is whether Menefee returns to L.A. in time for the "FOX NFL Sunday" pregame shows after those games end.
Mike Tirico, on loan from NBC Sports, will call Browns/Broncos this Saturday night with NFLN/Westwood One Sports' Kurt Warner & sideline reporter Peter Schrager this Saturday night at 7:20P (CT) as well as Ravens/Chargers December 22nd.
I think what's curious this weekend is that Joe Davis, not Tim Brando, will be calling Lions/Bills with his regular College Football partner Brady Quinn & sideline reporter Megan Olivi. Not to suggest that the game means much. A crew like that usually gets saddled with a dog of a game with both teams playing out the string. Woof!
ABSHARK, one small note to remember. Week 17 will be a NFL on FOX doubleheader. Keep in mind that NFL assigns FOX and CBS Week 17 doubleheaders (as it's been the practice since 2006, basically giving all stations a "free" doubleheader on either broadcast network). Week 16 is a FOX singleheader.
DeleteAbsolutely. It's the ONLY weekend of the season where FOX & CBS have NFL doubleheaders. The only question about Week #17 is whether NBC will have a "Sunday Night Football" finale. If I remember correctly, NBC didn't have a game that was "SNF" worthy to wrap up the regular season last year. Usually, they'd feature the 1 game that still has playoff meaning. I think the only question about Week #17 will be if all the playoff spots are filled and it's a question of playoff positioning.
DeleteIf NBC does not get a game for Week 17 like last year it's probably best to do the best games at 4:25pm like last year. Remember when Buffalo needed to win they did & Baltimore had to win they went down to the wire & lost at the end I'm expecting that type of scenario to happen again
DeleteAs far as Fox crews are concerned i know Joe Davis & Brady Quinn are not available since they're on the call for Mich St. vs Oregon on NYE i wonder whose gonna be the 8th analyst if Fox indeeds remains with 8 games would it be Greg Jennings or Jeff Fisher
DeleteI told y'all Buck/Aikman is on the Tampa Bay-Dallas game
DeleteKenny Albert & Ronde Barber will be on the call for Green Bay vs NY Jets
ReplyDeleteChris Myers & Daryl Johnston will be on the call for Minnesota vs Detroit
Dick Stockton & Mark Schlereth will be on the call for Atlanta vs Carolina
They called the Seahawks/49ers' game Sunday in Santa Clara, CA. They might as well stay out there this Sunday, too. Thom Brennaman, Chris Spielman & Shannon Spake call Bears/49ers this Sunday on "NFL on FOX". That's the word from Chicago Tribune Bears' writer Brad Biggs via Twitter Monday morning.
