Awful Announcing has learned that the NFL is considering a tripleheader of NFL Network games on December 21, the Saturday before Christmas. As per a source, the league currently plans to air three games on NFL Network that day.

There’s no indication yet of if these games would be exclusive to NFL Network or simulcast on other broadcast partners, and there’s no indication of what teams and timeslots would be involved. But this would seem to be a reasonably logical play for the league. They’ve previously scheduled Saturday doubleheaders on NFL Network around Christmas, including doing so in each of the two weeks before Christmas last year.

Uff-da ... why does that worry me? Maybe because the NFL Network and it's collection of has beens have the 2nd worst announcers on the planet behind ESPN.

Curt Menefee, Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci, and Nate Burleson did a game last year. And if that wasn't bad enough, these clowns Rich Eisen, Kurt Warner, Michael Irvin, and Steve Mariucci handled the London game earlier in the year. 4 ... count em ... 4 broadcasters in the same booth at the same time. And I don't even think any of them understood what their role was. Am I the play by play guy or the analyst? How bout we just talk whenever?

Still better than Beth Mowins, Chris Berman, Trent Dilwad, or Jason Witten however. The NFL world has a shortage of quality tolerable announcers as it does QB's and OL.

Reignman ?

          REGULAR           PLAYOFFS
          PASS RUSH  REC    PASS RUSH  REC
Brady      517   19    0      73    6    0
Favre      508   14    0      44    1    0
Staubach   153   20    0      24    0    0
Rice         1   10  197       0    0   22  (1 fumble return TD)
Moss         2    0  156       0    0   10  (1 punt return TD)
Fitz         1    0  116       0    0   10

TOTAL     1182   63  469     141    7   42  (2 misc TD)

So they personally found the end zone a combined 534 times (583 including playoffs).

Brady threw 39 TD's to Moss in the regular season (1 playoff).
Favre threw 2 TD's to Moss in the regular season.

So they're involved in combined 1675 TD's (1864 including the playoffs).

2433 if you include high school and college.

Jaguars LB Telvin Smith has announced he will not play in 2019.
"At this time I must take time away from this game and get my world in order," Smith said in an Instagram post. "I must give this time back to myself, my family and my health." The word "retirement" was never mentioned. Now 28, Smith remained an every-down player last season, though his effectiveness fell off from an elite 2017. He still managed to notch a sack, two interceptions and a forced fumble in addition to 134 tackles. It is entirely unclear what is causing Smith to step away.

This is a huge hit the Jaguars, who now don't have much at LB besides Myles Jack. The rest of their defense is looking pretty good, but there's now a glaring weak spot just waiting to be exploited by opposing offenses.

I'd say you're missing out... but Aaron changes everything... unless of course the cameo is to die in a horrific way... I'd like that.

As far as Rodgers goes, the show has a lot of cameos, he is just one of many.

I've read/heard nothing but negative things about the show for the last couple of years, so I don't think I'm missing much. Nothing worse than a show that starts off great/special and then goes to complete crap! ... I see enough of that with my Vikes! I'm good!

One having him as a part of the Lanister army, but his costume that he tweeted out implies he got burned alive... I can live with either.
