Thursday Night Football moves to CBS (1 Viewer)

[Dr. Octopus]

CBS has partnered with the NFL for Thursday Night Football and will broadcast the first eight Thursday games of the 2014 season.
"NFL Network built Thursday into a night for NFL fans," commissioner Roger Goodell said. "Our goal is to bring these games to more fans on broadcast television with unprecedented promotion and visibility for 'Thursday Night Football' on CBS." NFL Network will simulcast those games and then exclusively broadcast the final four Thursday games in addition to two late-season Saturday night games. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will be doing all 16 games, unfortunately leaving us without our weekly dose of Mike Mayock.

@adamlevitan: Worst news of the day is that Mike Mayock won't be doing Thursday Night Football anymore.

Nantz & Simms to call all Thursday night games -- including the eight that air on NFLN.

Also, two saturday games were sold with this package.

Wow what a kick in the teeth this deal was. We basically swap out one of the top broadcasting pairs for two of the worst. This will make thursday night football games much less enjoyable for me now

100% agree, Playing that game will make you hate Phil Simms, if you don't already before

I cant stand Nantz. Now we get to hear about the Masters on Thursdays. I kind of enjoyed Mayock and Nessler.

Hey, at least those of us without NFLN get to watch the games now

That week 16 Saturday DH sure will make championship weeks a little more interesting.

I find Simms less annoying than Mayock. Which isn't to say that Simms isn't very annoying.

Amen

Oooof, they're awful.

I thinkt this is really all EA's fault. Lazy programming.
