SteelCity77 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 As we all know, NBC has the rights to SNF this year and I was wondering whether anyobody had any news on it besides Bettis in the studio? Does anyone know who the instudio hosts are? Haltime shows? Graphics? Logos? Post/Pre-game show? I think this has a lot of potential w/ NBC, I hope they just dont try to get real innovative and do something totally stupid (as you can tell thats what I fear). If they go along thie lines they did with the NHL, it should be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sec19Row53 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think the pre-game, halftime, and post game shows are Costas, Collinsworth, and Bettis.I've heard that they'll hold highlights of the day's games until halftime, making the halftime show means something again - like it used to in the days of Howard Cosell - pre-ESPN. As part of their deal, highlights can't be aired until they've shown their (SNF) game. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 It won't be called Sunday Night Football, as Disney owns the rights to that name. They will be calling it Football Night in America. Like Hockey Night in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerBadger Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Costas, Collinsworth and Bettis are the in-studio (or maybe on-site) people for now. Don't be surprised if another is added.Al Michaels and John Madden are doing play-by-play. No sideline reporter announcement yet, but don't be surprised if you hear Melissa Stark, seeing as how she is now working for NBC.And it's not being called "Sunday Night Football" -- apparently it's "Football Night in America." Which is a poor choice -- "Hockey Night in Canada" works, but neither "Baseball Night ..." nor "Football Night in America" works. There are those who would tell you that "America" does not refer only to the United States, for one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually diagree, to me that name gives this show a more "big national event" feel again like in the hayday on MNF. That name makes it sound like whole nation is watching. Like a specatcle or something....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBear Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well, they could always bring in the Notre Dame announcers...Or - and I like this idea - have Costas-Collingsworth-Bettis (sounds like a space flight crew) do the second play by play and bring in somebody else to do the pregame.

PackerBadger Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I suspect the second wild card game will be indeed done by Tom Hammond and Pat Haden, who are a quality team as well. Costas hasn't done play-by-play of football for a long time, but as long as Brent Musburger doesn't do it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may not be a bad idea. Hughson was awesome when he did the voice work for the old EA "Triple Play Baseball" series. Doesn't he do the NHL series now? "Selanne..scores a..hat trick..." In that really high pitched annoying voice? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkell007 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 didn't NBC unveiled their football logo during the Olympics? yep, your right and it WAS called Sunday Night Football, so maybe that got michaels and the name rights in that trade??

Perfect Zero Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 According to Wikipedia, Al Michaels and John Madden will move to NBC to host the Sunday night game, promptly called, "NBC's Sunday Night Football". Costes, Collingsworth, and Bettis will host a FOUR!!! hour long pregame show titled "Football Night in America."Should be fun to see what the creative department at NBC creates for graphics.
