I don't think so. I wish they would as the NFL Network's coverage of pre-season is HORRID to say the least.They will show 5 minutes of a game and then skip around from game to game. Hate that crap.ucking:

 

[THECLOSER]

what does it cost?

 

[maxdemo]

No they wont.. they dont go live until the 1st game of the season. NFL network will have whip around coverage during the prime time hours and I remeber last year they would show Saturday afternoon games and west coast game late Friday (full games)

 

[Brock Landers]

can someone post all the NATIONALLY Telivised games scheduled for Pre Season?

I know the Hall of Fame game and at least 2 games a week after that on ESPN/Fox/CBS

Madden left and Al did not want to go ESPN for monday nights so he deceided to join him at NBC


FYI:
Bettis will be part of NBC's "Football Night in America," the 7 p.m. pregame show that will precede "NBC Sunday Night Football." The studio team helmed by Bob Costas also features Cris Collinsworth (late of Fox), Sterling Sharpe (ESPN), Andrea Kremer (ESPN) and John Madden (virtually every network in the Western Hemisphere). Games will be called by Al Michaels and Madden, who will cut back and forth to the studio group.

[fightclub34]

of course they wont. for 190 dollars plus the 120 hd package you would figure they would. They have this damn market monopolized

FYI:
Most pre-season games are show on local staions. Like here in Houston its our local ABC station w/ local sportscasters calling the game. The NFL has no agreements that stipultate that they must share the brodcast w/ cable or dish providors....JMO
