MadmanLA Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 This excerpt from Yahoo Sports...http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-c...p&type=lgnsCowher joins CBS as studio analyst By ALAN ROBINSON, AP Sports WriterFebruary 15, 2007AP - Feb 15, 2:20 pm ESTPITTSBURGH (AP) -- Former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher is returning to the NFL -- as an analyst on CBS' Sunday "The NFL Today" studio show. Cowher resigned as the Steelers' coach last month following 15 seasons, and less than a year after winning the Super Bowl. He plans to spend more time with his family at their new home in Raleigh, N.C., but said working on the CBS show allows him to keep his ties to the league. "I can still be part of it but not have it consume your life," Cowher said Thursday, speaking on a conference call. Cowher sent mixed signals as to how long he plans to stay away from coaching. Initially, he said, "It's an opportunity to stay busy on Sundays and it may go beyond this year." Later in the call, he said, "I'm planning on doing this for a couple of years."

dfwabel Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Speaking of busy 5 people on a set is gonna be very busyBerman, Jackson, Jaworski, Irvin, Ditka, and (on another set) Mortensen makes six on Sunday NFL Countdown, so it's been done. When Limbaugh was there didn't they still have Berman, TJ, Irvin, and Young making five with Rush? Regardless, the key to me not watching is Berman.

nyk Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I think CBS has the best NFL pregame show how of all the networks. I dont like the fact Cowher is making this a 5-man set. I can see him fitting in, but it will be too busy like ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigga Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 So much for the "spend more time with the family" schpiel.

Fyrwulf Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 So much for the "spend more time with the family" schpiel.Coaches don't spend any time with their families during the season. So, he could do this gig and still spend a ton more time with his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 So much for the "spend more time with the family" schpiel.I think that's a little unfair. This is Belichek quitting on the Jets after 1 day citing family and then the next day signing to be the Patriots coach. Cowher is taking a 2 days a week job. He can spend Monday through Friday with his family fly up to New York Saturday for the show and fly back home that night. Also consider that one of his daughters plays basketball at Princeton which is about a hour and half to two hours away driving wise from New York.

leedsunited Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Oh jesus, those broadcasts are already unwatchable. I can't imagine Cowher providing any salient insights.Pretty much the only analysts I bother to listen to are Cris Collinsworth and John Clayton when he does his reports. The rest?

Fred T. Jane Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Berman, Jackson, Jaworski, Irvin, Ditka, and (on another set) Mortensen makes six on Sunday NFL Countdown, so it's been done. When Limbaugh was there didn't they still have Berman, TJ, Irvin, and Young making five with Rush? Regardless, the key to me not watching is Berman.Berman counts as two. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

MadmanLA Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 I actually like the Charley Casserly segment on The NFL Today. I think substance-wise, CBS has the best X's and O's pregame show, while Fox's is just one stupid comedy routine (even though I do like the Frank Caliendo segment). Shannon Sharpe should have shown the door at CBS, like his brother over at NBC (Tiki Barber is replacing Sterling Sharpe on Football Night in America). I've really gotten into Inside The NFL on HBO, it seems like a looser, but more focused football show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 So much for the "spend more time with the family" schpiel.Coaches have to be at the stadium like 12 hours a day during the regular season and are also busy in the pre season and off season.Announcers come in prepare for a day go on the air go home. He can even bring his family up to NYC with him and spend the night before hitting the town. I actually like the Charley Casserly segment on The NFL Today.

Braden Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Well I think Dan and Boomer are two of the best NFL analysts out there. It'll be nice to add a coaches perspective to the team. A new person will also reduce Shannon's speaking time, which is always a good thing.My biggest problem with the NFL on CBS is their ridiculous set.
