I am not a huge fan of Tom Jackson, but ESPN had it right with him and Chris Berman running down all the games with Berman doing the play by play and Jackson throwing in his thoughts. Football Night in America is a mess with too many "analysts" most of whom really have nothing to say and two guys who don't get "it" in Costas in Olbermann running down the highlights. I don't neccessarily agree with Olbermann's politics and I think he is pretty santicmonious on his own show, but the reason I hate him on Football Night in America is because of his straight delivery with no real emotion of passion. Costas is too dry for football and should stick to baseball. No matter how many people they jam pack in this show, it won’t change one thing - Football Night in America is no NFL Primetime.

Switching between sets and quick comments about each team is a waste of time. I'll never understand why you have to cater to the least common denominator when you have no competition. Why do you have to have 5 million people in the studio and act like ESPN trying to fill in programming for all hours of the day? Highlights, news (like injuries, records, etc.) and interviews are not enough? There's a reason we all miss NFL Primetime.

Anyway, like him or not, I watched most of NBC's pre-game shows, and I don't recall Olbermann bashing G W Bush once. He might have criticized Reggie Bush, but not our President. I actually enjoyed the chemistry between Costas and Olbermann during the highlights, and did not think that NBC had to tinker with that segment. Dan Patrick's schitk is very tired and I thought he became aware that he's a bit out dated when he left the Bristol Empire. Unfortunately, the new segments might be as forced and as painful as the Wayne and Garth reunion at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. What the show needs is a little more intelligent analysis of the games, coaches, players, etc. and less predictable (perhaps scripted) reactions from Tiki and Jerome. Yes, they're not as rough to listen to as Michael Irvin, Emmit Smith, and the Brothers Sharpe, but so are parakeets. Tiki and Jerome don't add anything to the broadcast. Costas is a legend and for a reason. He's objective, reasonable, and willing to ask a tough question. Collinsworth is also very good. A few years ago, I used to loathe Collinsworth b/c I thought he was an arrogant, self important analyst who rarely complimented even the best teams. Now, I think he's become more fair and he's certainly the most prepared analyst out there. You can't tell me that you'd rather see Terry and Jimmy discuss a game over Collinsworth and Costas? One last thing, among the many differences between Olbermann and Limbaugh is that Olbermann was a sports journalist first, whereas Limbaugh obviously lacked knowledge of the game. Oh yeah, Big Rush is a racist too. I’m surprised to hear that there are so many Keith haters here.

Having Bob Costas is bad enough; now with Olberman back for another year #@*!. I am sure I will not watch their pregame or halftime show. Olberman is a man with a very grating way about him. What are you thinking NBC? Keith Olberman should stay with MSNBC. Having Bob Costas is bad enough; now with Olberman back for another year #@*!.

I can't STAND these guys, especially Olbermann. Hey Dick Ebersol, I think there must be one former player or sports announcer who doesn't have a gig for next year. Why don't you add him to the 76 other idiots you're gonna have on this shitfest. O-VER-RA-TED!!!

I loved it when it was on MNF before sportscenter and primetime ended the need for it. Even then, I dug the George Michael Sports Machine better. So not completely En Fuego over this. Though, I still say "Golf Shots" every time I see golf highlights. So maybe they were the best of all time. Hard to say. I lean towards Summerall and Madden/Rizutto and White/Mary Carillo...anyone really. Who doesn't love Mary Carillo? Not a huge fan of the condensed highlight package.

Between Patrick saying 'you can't stop LT, you can only hope to contain him' and Olbermann chiming in with "That is Romo's 4th touchdown pass of the game if you're scoring at home - or even if you're by yourself". Ebersol hit the jackpot on this one. Excellent.

And surely they'll thrown in a couple of female side line reporters....remember the good ole days when networks used 2...maybe 3....real sports broadcasters? Then you'll probably remember it was really the last time you actually enjoyed listening to a game. Think NBC could cram a few more “broadcasters” into a three hour football telecast?
