Well, pretty straight forward topic. When u think of the NFL, what network do you think of? CBS, NBC, FOX, ABC, even ESPN.

NBC.

Growing up in Buffalo, almost 90% of Bills game I saw were on NBC (except for when NFC teams visited, monday night games, and occasionalm playoff games)

CBS

CBS - because of the Redskins. The Skins glory years (1969 to 1992) all were on CBS. Ever since the NFC switched to FOX, the Redskins have only made the postseason 3 times. Plus, the most of the great Colt years under Unitas that I remember, was on CBS - even though they won the Super Bowl the first year of the merger in 1970 when NBC covered the AFC (which the Colts had switched to from the NFL in '70).

CBS. The Steelers have had the majority of their games televised by CBS since I was eight years old.

FOX -- all Giants games on FOX; except an occasional one on NFL Network; oh wait, then the league bows to pressure from the networks and broadcasts it anyways :)

Did you know that each of their three Super Bowl wins came on three different networks?

Yep, and in the era in which only two networks broadcasted the 2 Super Bowls, the 2 Redskins losses were on CBS and NBC - before ABC started telecasting the Super Bowl.

A Colts avatar?

I thought you were a Redskins fan since the move.

You said on DBSForums that you did not follow the Colts when they moved to Indy.

Personally, I thought you'd choose an avatar of either of Washington's newly-enshrined HOF'ers (Green or Monk.)

CBS.

Though, when I think about NFL, the first thing that came to mind was Sunday Ticket, not a network.

For quantity FOX
For quality CBS.

Only two NFL carriers have ever done it for me: CBS (both NFC and AFC) and NBC (both AFC and Sunday Night Football).

For me only 1 network, NBC and how bad their PQ is compared to the other networks. I watched the Hall of Fame game last night and tons of macro blocking either via D* HD LIL or via ATSC OTA and the station doesn't have any subchannels on it.

Did you know that Fox has broadcasted five Super Bowls, and the Patriots have been involved in four of them (2-2 record in Fox Super Bowls)? The only non-Patriots Fox SB was the Broncos rout over the Falcons.

I won't bring up what happened the last time New England played in a Super Bowl televised on NBC.

Thank you for that. :(

Patriots Super Bowl record by network:


FOX: 2-2
CBS: 1-0
NBC: 0-1

CBS

When I was younger I couldnt grasp the concept of "why the hell do we have to see the Vikes every week?" I wanted to see the other games but Grandpa was a Vikes fan so every week when we would visit it was on Channel 4 from 11 until after the game (WCCO our local CBS)

Who was YOUR favorite team growing up?

I think of the NFL ST it may not be a true network, but it does more for my needs than the affiliates except the one game each year; the Superbowl.

Denver....before "the drive" and "the fumble"....I guess because of the "no game can go opposite the local team when they are at home" BS rule we seemed to get Denver on the local NBC all the time so I kinda grew watching them. Still like to see them on occasion (what is funny is 2 of the last 3 years we usually had Denver on the late game on CBS now...this past year was the Pats..duh!)

NBC - - The Browns in the mid-late 80s

I didn't follow the Colts once they moved to Indy. The Colts avatar is a picture of one of my favorite NFL players in the '60s - the great Lenny Moore. He is one of the few athletes in NFL history who was equally dangerous as a receiver and a running back.

In truth, Moore may have been my favorite football player ever (along with Raymond Berry and Johnny U).

CBS

I think I will always associate the NFL with them because of Brent Musberger opening the NFL Today with "You are looking LIVE at Lambeau Field!" That just brought a certain excitement and anticipation to the days game.

Gru up with CBS....Later years went to Fox....Now as far as game action I watch the teams that I have an intrest in seeing that day with Sunday Ticket so it can be open to CBS/FOX

Though with pregame, its CBS I find there pre game to be more informative with less comedy then fox

Ah, yes. The man with the magnificent spats and long TD runs.

BTW, I'll take a wild guess and ask- are you old enough to remember the Colts/Giants 'Greatest Game?'

1. CBS 2. The Bills (had season tickets at War Memorial Stadium - Kemp, Lamonica, Cookie Gilchrist, Elbert "Golden Wheels" Dubenion)

No. I was born in 1956. The first NFL seasons I remember was '63 & '64. Certainly, I remember the Bears beating the Giants in the NFL Championship in Wrigley Field, but not much else about the '63 season.

I definitely remember '64, when the Colts powered to a 12-2 record, a Western Division Title, and broke numerous records that year. In one game against the Washington Redskins, Raymond Berry became the all-time leading receiver in NFL history; Lenny Moore set the single-season touchdown record; and the Colts blew out the Redskins. Unitas won his 2nd MVP that year, Moore won Comeback Player of the Year - and it was Don Shula's second season as Colt head coach.

As a kid growing up in the 70's, it always CBS because of the NFL Today.

CBS when they had the NFC... Brent Musburger and Irv Cross on the NFL Today...

Yeah it sucks that the AFC has all the great picture quality on CBS. Those HD games are just plain beautiful to look at.

My first thoughts drifted to DirecTV and Sunday Ticket.


As for OTA networks Back to the good old days of AFL Football on NBC.

cbs. even in the old days they had the better pic. they still do.

REY,
