BayouBrave86 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Man, watching these little clips of The Blitz with the awesome music going hand in hand with the highlights makes me miss NFL Primetime. I loved watching that show every Sunday night after a Skins win. The NBC highlight show sucks in my opinion. Primetime's music made the show.

Ozzu Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The best highlight show on TV right now is NFL Gameday on NFLN. I know some people can't stand Deion, but he seems to fit right in with Mooch and Eisen. I can't stand ESPN these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbird Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'm with you on this. The NBC show is HORRIBLE. First, Keith Olberman is perhaps the biggest prick on television. Second, Peter King's name-dropping gets old after about 12 seconds. "I just got off the phone with xxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyyy, and he told me this was how he expected to play." Enough with all the stupid chit-chat. JUST SHOW THE DAMN GAMES. I don't have Sunday Ticket, so I have to rely on highlights. ESPN Primetime used to totally break down each game and give you all the key plays. With Costas & Co. you'll see a couple touchdowns and that's it. To make matters worse, the Comcast postgame show is almost totally unwatchable. Grrrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCranon21 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 That's why I wait til 1130-12 on Sunday night to watch the Blitz. The NBC show is just terrible. I wish ESPN never agreed with NBC to do away with Primetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsbadd Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 THe NBC show is really just one long bright advertisement for chevy and toyota. It has little to do with football really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the best shows on TV for a lot of years. Even though Tom Jackson is a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I miss it also, except I stopped watching when they showed our highlights after a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 The NBC show is downright horrible. From the stupid name on down. I mean Football Night in America? LAAAAAAME. Of course it's in America...as opposed to what Football Night in Afghanitan? Then the crew is just way too big. They've gotta cut like 2-3 guys. I like Costas and actually don't mind King as he provides a different analysis. They should dump Olberman and at least two of the three between Collinsworth, Barber, and Bettis. The old NFL Primetime was just sick. Now it's corny as hell. Isn't it like Stuart Scott with Ditka and Jaws now? Ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a lame name and show--Peter King is such a sanctimonious prick and Bob "midgit" costas is just horrible! Does anyone else find him incredibly annoying?

pjfootballer Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Costas is the most annying when he does baseball. He always wants you to take this sickening trip down memory lane when he was a boy and was watching Say Hey, Damaggio, Mantle the Drunk and such. He's such a tool.

RonJeremy Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I remember watching Prime Time back in college late Sunday nights. It was a ritual...I feel old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageForce21 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I agree with the original poster -- NFL Primetime was the best highlight show. No screwing around, just highlights and commentary from all four quarters of pretty much every game. In these new highlight shows, they'll spend most of the time talking about and showing clips of what they deem to be the 3 or 4 biggest games of the week. Then with the remaining games they show a tiny portion of clips. That's BS for fans of those remaining teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ, I used to watch it all the time from middle school - last year. R.I.P. NFL Primetime, you will be missed, and ESPN Sunday Night football with Mike Patrick, Joey T., and Paul McGuire.

rdsknbill Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Seemed that primtime gave much more time to the individual games. not just the "he scored here, and they fumbed there. This team wins" crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHEREAFTER Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 NFL Primetime still comes on. It's now done by Trey Wingo, Hodge, and Salisbury and I'm not referring to NFL live. It comes on Mondays around 4. Set that DVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes on Mondays around 4. Set that DVR. Its not the same, though. I miss my ritual. Watching the 1 oclock game, then the 4, then primetime, then the 8. I'll give ESPN credit, they make an effort with the blitz, but it's not NFL Primetime. NFL Primetime could make a Miami/St Louis game seem entertaining. If ESPN classic reran old primetimes (Which they should instead of poker, & cheap seats, & the other crap they put on) I'd watch them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundays at 7pm was a staple. I remember being a little kid and having that NFL Primetime vs. 60 minutes conflict with my parents. That's takin' it back.
