I really enjoy the NFL Matchup show on ESPN, but I\u2019m sure the ratings bear this out; I think I\u2019m in the minority. The show dives into the X\u2019s and O\u2019s of football. The show currently has a home at 6:30 AM CT on ESPN Sunday mornings. Fortunately we are at a point where many have DVRs so it isn\u2019t that bad. I\u2019ve just observed the time slot\/day for the show has progressively worsened over time. I hope the next step isn\u2019t cancelation.<\/p>\n
What makes the show most interesting to me is they are able to use the coach\u2019s tape (which is basically inaccessible to the public) to show a more in depth breakdown of football plays. \u00a0I wish they devoted 30 minutes to every game. There is so much that goes on in football that simply is not explained to the viewer. For people who really love the game, they present it in a new way that helps you understand what is going on in a given play.<\/p>\n
NFL Network has a show they air three times a week for 1 hour called Playbook. They go over the previous week in one show and they cover the AFC and NFC in their own shows for the upcoming week. This show definitely contributes to the fan\u2019s understanding of the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
