Sign that the NFL is quite popular
ESPN has included the announcement that the NFL will be releasing it's schedule today as a top story on their main page for the better part of the last day.
If I was a diehard NBA or even MLB fan over the NFL, this might annoy me. I would also be annoyed if I was an NFL Network executive. They had a nice niche with their show the last few years, but now has to go up against a two-hour Sportscenter special. If nothing else, NFL Network has forced ESPN to step up their game covering off-season NFL news.
I'm not annoyed about this development at all. Love long NFL as king. It's good for business, and I've bought in. I'm pretty excited to see some of the weekly matchups. Makes Week 1 seem a lot closer.
With this in mind, I may avoid doing work I'm supposed to be doing by liveblogging some of the event at 2PM. Stop on by.
