Yep, and rights to show the other networks' highlights too, correct?

Is the NFL Network a private enterprise or run by the league?

You'd be surprised as the limitations NFL had on ESPN prior to the new deal. Lot of seemingly minor stuff

technically run by the league

It's a perfect schedule for our situation though like you guys said. We could be 6-2 even halfway through, on the other hand I'll say if we're worse than .500 at that point it should be a huge disappointment.

Good. Eff Redskins Sunday night games. And eff Redskins Monday night games too.

A man needs his beauty sleep anyway.

How tough was it when you got something basically set in stone like Skins vs Cowboys for a Monday night, and then Jerrah calls back and says "I just signed Nickleback for a 5 night stand at Jerryworld for all the douchebags in Dallas, its basically our adopted hometown band. I must change the Monday night game b/c of this conflict."

Is it back to the drawing board or do you tell Jerry to go to hell? Or do you try to score some Nickleback tickets?

[SmootSmack]

LOL. It's basically back to the drawing board.

really, so the ownership tend to have kinda the final say about things?

Can you divulge the most pissed you were about a scheduling conflict? Who were the worst to work with?

Well it's not like he just says this is how it's going to be. He (and all other owners) are considerate of all situations.

Every sport is different. All had various challenges

Women's college softball was a bitch

I did not make this, but I'm sharing it (click to make huge):

Questionable player selection but he was going to good images rather than player names when selecting the images to use. GREAT WORK! He said he might try again with players Skins fans would like better later on. He's doing every team. I'll share if there's another future version.

Bumping this thread rather than starting a new one. With preseason games over I wanted to look over the schedule again and predict wins/losses based on what we've seen so far. Here we go:

Week 1 at New Orleans: The Saints will play a very emotional game based on the off-season crap and recent storms. I expect us to get demolished week 1 but won't take it too hard. Loss

Week 2 at St. Louis: Win

Week 3 vs Cincinnati: Win

Week 4 at Tampa: Win

Week 5 vs Atlanta: Loss

Week 6 vs Minnesota: Win

Week 7 at NY Giants: Loss

Week 8 at Pittsburgh: Loss

Week 9 vs Carolian: Win

Week 10: Bye

Week 11 vs Philly: Win

Week 12 at Dallas: Loss

Week 13 vs NY Giants: Win

Week 14 vs Ravens: Loss

Week 15 at Cleveland: Win

Week 16 at Philly: Loss

Week 17 vs Dallas: Win

So I have us going 9-7 and think I was pretty conservative i.e. we should win those games. Maybe we eek out another win or two, which would be very impressive. 8-8 won't make me surly, but below .500 would be inexcusable given our roster talent and schedule.

Who's next?

[CRedskinsRule]

Week 1 at New Orleans: I think the Saints come out emotional, but the Skins D holds at first, and the lack of the Head Coach/play caller lets us keep it close. We open with a late Win

Week 2 at St. Louis: Win

Week 3 vs Cincinnati: Win

Week 4 at Tampa: Win

Week 5 vs Atlanta: Loss

Week 6 vs Minnesota: Loss Ponder and Peterson put on a nice display, while we RGIII is going through some tough lessons

Week 7 at NY Giants: Win Giants begin there mid season drift, and Bob shows Osi his speed

Week 8 at Pittsburgh: Loss

Week 9 vs Carolina: Loss Can't quite handle the running qb yet

Week 10: Bye

Week 11 vs Philly: Loss See Carolina

Week 12 at Dallas: Win Dallas will be in full meltdown by now. Romo out, McGee (3rd string) starting.

Week 13 vs NY Giants: Win Fans are starting to get the bandwagon going

Week 14 vs Ravens: Loss Bandwagon falls apart LOL

Week 15 at Cleveland: Win

Week 16 at Philly: Loss Ugh

Week 17 vs Dallas: Loss Dallas saves face keeps us out of wildcard

8-8 from me.

[DynamiteRave]

Losing both games against Philly? Vick isn't in his prime anymore, by time it rolls around that we play them, I'd be surprised if he hasn't suffered at least 1 injury of some sort. The Eagles remind me of the Red Sox this season, stacking talent and for some reason never getting their act together.

We'll win at least one of those games.

[IrMitchell]

Week 1 at New Orleans: Emotional game for the Saints and they're arguably the best team we play this year. LOSS

Week 2 at St. Louis: Bradford meet RG3. WIN

Week 3 vs Cincinnati: I'd say we actually compare favorably to the Bengals.. Close game, but we end up winning. WIN

Week 4 at Tampa: We're better. WIN

Week 5 vs Atlanta: Matty Ice along with White and Jones absolutely destroy our secondary. LOSS

Week 6 vs Minnesota: No Joe Webb this year. WIN

Week 7 at NY Giants: Split. LOSS

Week 8 at Pittsburgh: Brown, Wallace and Sanders will destroy our secondary. LOSS

Week 9 vs Carolian: Newton completely dumbied us last year. Will it change? LOSS

Week 10: Bye

Week 11 vs Philly: Split. LOSS

Week 12 at Dallas: Split. LOSS

Week 13 vs NY Giants: Split. WIN

Week 14 vs Ravens: A far superior team. LOSS

Week 15 at Cleveland: Easiest win of the season. WIN

Week 16 at Philly: Split. WIN

Week 17 vs Dallas: Split. WIN

[Lotus]

Every game: WIN

19-0 bitches.

Go big or go home.

You're predicting a mid-season, 5-game losing streak? Ouch.
