Sky's contract has ended but they keep extending it by a few weeks while they are trying to negotiate the next one.

Sky had a brief run of them being Live instead of the Adams/Schrager Good Morning Football(?) on the NFL channel thing with the WR (I can't remember his name, but he's gone to better places - Nate something?) and musclebound sweat box (Kyle something?)
Yeah, it's normally on at 5 or 6pm. Sometimes though they don't broadcast it at the scheduled time, but it pops up unannounced a few hours later. Presumably, this is because they haven't finished editing out all the swearing and gambling promos at the time it's supposed to air.

When they swapped gmfb and pft around for a couple of weeks a few years back, I think that was because gmfb had started doing a gambling segment on Fridays (I think they called it 'Hammer Time') so Sky wanted to edit that bit out. Once they realised it was only on a Friday they swapped back again, except for Fridays when Peter King was on PFT. The guy that used to do that segment on gmfb has left now though to work with Kay Adams on her podcast thing, so it's not a problem for Sky any more and we're back to gmfb being live and pft in the evenings every day.

If we talk about TV rights I usually watch the football on Sky Sports, Optus Sport, BT Sport.

Good luck Shed…
You lined up 19 names here for quarterbacks. Could you explain forestfan who is Shed...?
Shedeur Sanders, could have been picked in first round but dropped to fifth. Those other names picked in that round in the past didn’t achieve much.
O really? Cleveland Browns?
Yes 😢😢😢
No, I always prefer British English not American one!

Just seen Florid's absolute rant over Trump sticking his oar into College football.

Safe to say he's not a MAGA devotee :lol:

Yeah, I've not seen the rant; but he's been simmering for a while about Dump Land Rot.

That’s the Aints in something of a pickle, then… is Shough really ready to start? Could they explore the Rodgers option, or Cousins perhaps? Go for the long overdue clear the decks and tank scenario?

Back on the Sky schedules into early June, so another extension... or maybe even a proper deal?

Mahomes says he will leave Olympic flag football in 2028 to “the younger guys”. Will be interesting to see the US “dream team” anyway…

In theory, it'll be in the middle of a Presidential Election. But then it might not be......

I suspect there will be an election (Trump can’t impose a state of emergency and expect the Olympics to still go ahead there, surely?) but most likely a “Putinised” sham one where everything is loaded in favour of Trump’s chosen successor. Still, that’s one for the US politics thread!

Yeah, it will be the Trump Show if he’s in power then.
Well, we do have this to look forward to... Wonder how much it'll resemble the Spiele der XI. Olympiade.

Yeah… losing season, Rodgers retires and Tomlin departs?

Division’s still quite favourable to them though I guess, Ravens apart… Bengals still unbalanced and Browns in chaos again.

The AFC North has tough fixtures this season and I'm not sure the 2 B's are that bad, and Buck is a tasty target 😂

If our new RBs and TE are half as good as people were saying we might be ok with competent QB drinking and dunking - and we'll find out if it was the OL as well as the QB that were shite; and an even better pass rush should help the high risk Man defence.

The Bengals seems to be consistently slow starters and fast finishers - has much changed?

Well Bungles have just doubled down on usual by paying their offensive stars and not paying their only defensive one :lol: Maybe they will start better this year, not sure of the fixtures, but if they always need to score 30 to win they’ll end up around .500 again.

Browns are anyone’s guess, could be play-offs or 0-17.

Which would be around the Stealers 🤷‍♂️

I can't remember the Divisions we're playing, but it's not big or pretty with your lot and the Gnats being our reward for 4th place. I'm not looking this up in June, but we're comfortably adrift in the Strength of Schedule guesstimates.

However, I agree with your prediction range as the SoS stuff depends on how good the Bangles and Stealers are. And are we still "only a QB away", well from the Play Offs, as opposed to the SB?

Well I suppose every team’s only a peak Mahomes/Brady/Manning/Montana away from the play-offs… but such QBs are few and far between!
