CrookedThumb Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 On the ESPN 200th game commercial, they showed a clip of a Giants/Patriots game, so I'll go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 The commercial makes it easy. November 8th, 1987, The New York Giants vs The New England Patriots. This was back when TNT and ESPN shared Sunday Night Football, thus why ESPN didn't air it's first game until November 8th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 I thought the TNT and ESPN sharing Sunday Night Football only happened in the mid-90's??Yea, but it is the Pat-Giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted December 21, 2003 Author Share Posted December 21, 2003 Pats at Giants on 11/8/1987In the first few seasons of NFL on ESPN they only did games in teh second half and starting in 1990 TNT came along and did the first half until 1997. However in 1998 I belive ESPN got the rights for the entire season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
