Depending on how things play out Vikings vs. Redskins could be the best matchup of the day. But I'd be surprised if the Redskins had three consecutive games in primetime.

If Madden gets a vote, it won't be the Redskins. He probably thinks one Redskins game on NBC is too many. He hates us, he hates Joe Gibbs. Of course if it were his call, NBC would only show Packers games, much like they do with Notre Dame on Saturdays. (that worked out real well for them this year)

For my part, I say leave it on Fox. That "Football Night in America" show is a veritable Creature Cantina of rejects and ne'r do wells. Costas - awful. Collingsworth - awful. Tiki- awful. Olbermann - looks like one of those creepy posters at the eye doctor's office. The Redskins are the only thing that can compel me to watch this hideous network and if we could limit that to once, it would be for the best.

Did you see the halftime show yesterday? I wanted to punch Collinsworth in the face

Costas: Chris, let's talk about the NFC Wild Card race. Who gets in?

COllinsworth: <<leans back in his chair and laughs>> I don't know. But hey let's talk about Tony Romo

Ugh! That wasn't the question!

Eventually he got to the question but still...

I didn't see it. There are only two announcers that I don't have any complaints about at this point. Troy Aikman because he goes out of his way to play it straight and be objective and Don Criqui because he's been at it so long his voice reminds me of my childhood.

"What about Joe Buck?", some might ask. He says "into the arms of" way too often. As in "Bledsoe's pass tipped by Daniels into the arms of Cornelius Griffin." He says it 3 to 4 times a game with a rising vocal emphasis on "arms" like he's saying "W eeeeeeeuuuuNBC!" Petty perhaps on my part but there it is.
