ddaniels20 68 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Starting with the 2021 season, the NFL regular season will now consist of 17 games (18 weeks). The extra game will feature "teams from opposing conferences that finished in the same place within their division the previous season". In addition, the preseason has been reduced to 3 games per team. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18224-2021-nfl-season/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB4TV 347 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 With this formal announcement, Super Bowl LVI will now be played on February 13, which leads me to wonder whether NBC will have to trade another Super Bowl, presumably to FOX, as this will be during the second weekend of the 2022 Olympics.

That was the whole point for the trade with CBS to get 2022 Super Bowl, in coincide with the Winter Games. They're going to air Super Bowl in between the olympic coverage on NBC. There'll be no retrading. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18224-2021-nfl-season/#findComment-258438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the old format, CBS had 8 exclusive doubleheader Sundays, and Fox had 8 exclusive doubleheader Sundays, and week 17 was a doubleheader Sunday for both of them (giving them 9 total each).

Georgie56 3304 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 The preseason is back, and Fox is getting the Hall of Fame Game this year because NBC will be in Olympic mode then.

He was already overburdened by travel in the 2016-2017 TNF contract, which led to Mike Tirico taking over many of the games both on Thursdays and on also on Sundays around Thanksgiving week.

Viper550 291 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 At least they fixed up how they're doing football with the Bally dashboard (apparently they were putting the downage in the ticker area. Now it's more of a tab above the team. I would have personally used the tab widget they've used for shots on goal and pitch counts) Vikings are using the current Fox scoreboard, as well as the Falcons with their move to WAGA.

ehatt493 33 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I would think the Bengals *might* use the Bally set since the flagship of the network and all of the affiliates but 2 are Sinclair stations, but nope. Looks like a team production more than anything else. The Bengals literally made smallest updates to their bug (flattened it, made some of the borders white) possible. The supers are new, but that's about it. (also, never mind that at least one Bengals affiliate dumped out of the LA Galaxy/MNUFC match in the middle of it) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18224-2021-nfl-season/#findComment-263450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
