According to the new TV contract, no-one other than NBC will be able to show highlights of games from the end of the last 4pm game to 6pm Monday or something like that.. Primetime (or something like it) will likely move to NBC before the Sunday Night game..

Berman hasn't had an original highlight call since '91. Not being a jerk, but you must be younger than most of us.. I have been listening to him since the early 80's so his act is worn for me, it was original and entertaining then, but now it's just tired.. I don't know how you can listen to the ejaculation fest that is Sunday Night Football.. They go crazy for every single play and Maguire is so over the top for every player that touches the ball it's ridiculous..
