As we approach the 2013 NFL season, how many of you still watch NFL pregames on Sunday mornings? (playoff, sport) - Pro Football - - Page 2 - City-Data Forum

I generally watch strictly for injury reports. I'm more likely to watch some of the fantasy shows they have than the generic game reporting.

Sometimes but not on a regular basis, and not ESPN. If the local station has pre-game for the Packers, then I try to watch.

WPD - That is what postgame shows are for - on ESPN at any time of the day or not.
I can go to the bathroom - get some air on nice days - get something to drink - relieve some frustration from watching a bad first half - or whatever.

Well the NFLN seems to be the only station to show full highlights. ESPN only shows TD passes

Not only do I not watch pre-game shows, I don't watch any half time shows. 'I'll be back'- in 12 minutes.

I think Halftime is actually 7 mins. After they show the quick highlights of the 1pm games they go back to the field so the announcers can talk

NO - Haftime is 13 minutes. I have been timing it for years.

Rarely do i watch pregame stuff. I used to... in fact I never missed ESPN Countdown show several years back but now we are so bombarded by NFL info that I get tired of the same talking points over and over. It certainly has lost its pizzaz.

15-20 years ago ESPNs Countdown show was the best and the NFL's opening weekend was like Christmas day with ESPN's Countdown the stage show for it!

LOL. Ain't it the truth.

I do. I start with Tailgate 19 the local pregame show on WOIO channel 19 in Cleveland, and then watch CBS's pregame show because usually the Browns are on CBS unless an NFC team comes to town, and then I'll watch the FOX pregame. I used to have NFL Network, but we cut down our Dish package, and unfortunately it went bye bye.
