REDSKINZ-RIDEORDIE Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Whatever happened to Primetime anyways? Now they only have the "blitz" and its just a part of sportscenter. Am I missing something or do they not have an all nfl highlight show on Sunday nights anymore? WTF ESPN? Yeah, I noticed that to. Blitz sucks. Bring back Primetime. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinz4evr Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 i think they ignored it because ESPN annointed the Jags as the best team in the NFL after week 2. They are scared to eat some crow.You Know IT!! They showed so many Jax highlights and then the One winning catch by Moss. I'll just use Tivo cause their highlights suck.

I'll just use Tivo cause their highlights suck. I noticed that too, pretty weak. They didn't even show any of our scores except the final catch in OT. I wish I DVR'ed the game.

Thirtyfive2seven Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 It's all good, NFL network will replay the game and hopefully we'll get to listen to comments from the players in between plays. It's going to be fun to watch that game all over again! I get chills just thinking about it. And to top it off, it's on Wednesday so it's a perfect mid-week distraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askounes Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 nah, they completely ignored the game, and showed two highlights from the game... a drive or two by Leftwitch and Moss' TD to win the game in OT I think that's because ESPN feels Leftwich is the "marquee guy" in the game - regardless of whether his team wins or loses. CBS was pretty bad during the game breaking to Mrs. Leftwich every freakin' minute as well. Someone get Rush Limbaugh on the phone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something or do they not have an all nfl highlight show on Sunday nights anymore? WTF ESPN? NBC purchased the exclusive rights to highlights, a shame because ESPN did that very well and NBC's "Football Night in America" is awful. I agree with the original post. This was a great game between two teams that were expected to vie for the playoffs ending in overtime and they treat it like it was the least important and least exciting game of the day. Let's keep winning just to annoy ESPN. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins2Win33 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Let's face it, once again the Skins are underestimated. That shouldnt be anything new for us, even when we have top notch talent, top notch coaching, and an intense fan base, this team isn't taken seriously. But hey if they keep not taking this team seriously, then we'll keep them on their heels, and doubting themselves. The Skins are starting to sizzle, all we needed was to win to start the train rolling. So let them think whatever they may, we'll show them who we are and what we are made of.

superbowl2K6 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 No worries, the NFL Network is giving us some love. As a matter of fact, our game is one of the three that will be replayed this week on their station. HTTR! Sweet!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight it airs at 6pm right before Countdown, and I believe that is the normal time slot for it. It is no longer hosted by Boomer and TJ, Stuart Scott hosts.

gate113 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I got to work late because I was waiting for the analysis. Its funny in their commerical before Sportscenter Starts they actually only show Moss TD, but when they talk about our game it was 3 plays and then next game.

Am I missing something or do they not have an all nfl highlight show on Sunday nights anymore? WTF ESPN? They are not allowed to be on the air Sunday night any more because NBC has the Sunday night game. That is whey the do the blitz of 4 games with extended highlights during the sportscenter on Sunday night. I am surprised that we were not one of them. I guess they decided to focus on the 4 undefeated teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Now if the REDSKINS lose next week to the NY Giants it will be shown over and over again on ESPN. They will break the game down, the whole nine yards. Because we all know their love for everything Manning, and everything Dallas. I think they showed the Dallas/Titans highlights fourteen dozen times :doh: geez. The REDSKINS only hope for more coverage is to WIN and WIN some more. GO REDSKINS :wavetowel BEAT THE giants :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 You guys worry too much about the media. They can't do primetime anymore because of the Sunday Night NBC contractual rights. So they can only show clips of games the same night and not a complete breakdown. They are probably showing all the undefeated teams over us. Doesn't bother me what the media thinks in September, just what they think in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The End Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah, fourth time around i finally saw the highlight on the sunday sportscenter. It was 3 jags plays, 1 redskins play. If it wasn't the game winner to moss, you wouldn't have known that we won. ****s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsciambi Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 ESPN did a really long breakdown of the Atlanta/Arizona game. Why? In fact, they showed a good 10 clips from the Houston/Miami game. Two of the worst teams in the league, who cares?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The double standard I've been seeing this week is disgusting. I understand showing highlights of the Pats / Bengals game, but why show so much of the Dallas / Tenessee game? Or the Atlanta / Arizona game? The Skins game overall was easily one of the most exciting of this early season. I also find it annoying that ESPN analysts are quick to note that the Skins beat the Texans, so not to get too excited. But almost in the same breath talk so highly of the Eagles, who have played an obscenely easy schedule thus far. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC3 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 NFL Primetime just gave much love to Clinton Portis, then Santana Moss, and especially Mark Brunell. It was around 2:30 I think so I doubt many have seen it. It included highlights on Clinton Portis making his big plays and goal line TD. They then showed Santana Moss's three TDs. They finished off by admitting how wrong they were for dogging Brunell for two straight years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 How many times in week 2 did we watch the stupid Giants TD pass in overtime and all the announcers proclaiming the Giants an amazing team and Eli the new comeback quarterback? We got nothing. I watched the same broadcast roll over and over all they did was show every game but ours. Not even the NFL Network played our game. Its like it didnt even happen. If we destroy NY next week what will we get? Honorable mention on SC? Sure...theres no media bias towards us, were just a bunch of paranoid people who cant get a god damn breakdown of the game anywhere but on our website.

Gregpeck99 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The Skins need to run off another streak of 5 in a row ... then they will get some respect grudgingly ... nonetheless, the media will find a way to explain it away. The "Skins" never will be fully respected ...The team's mascot name and "new money" owner are too politically incorrect for the media to stomach.

EersSkins05 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'm sorry- I still haven't bought into this whole "ESPN hates us" thing. Might be because I've gone through the same thing w/ WVU fans, but it gets a little wearing after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryClark4Canton Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 damn it, you are so right. it is in a way a little uncomfortable watch, his demeanor and look morphes as soon as the words Redskins is said... Agree with you, the council does. TJ looks as if the Redskins raped someone he loved whenever we are talked about. I've never seen that much 'hate" from an announcer in my life. And we're not just making this up cause we are skins fans. You would think the triplettes (Irvin, Aikman, Emmit) would show that much hate when they talk about the skins but they are actually pretty cool and tell it like it is. TJ, bro, GET OVER IT. It was just one SB loss against the skins! GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
