Fox NFL Sunday

The FOX NFL show every Sunday prior to the games beginning has always been one of the more entertaining pre-game shows out of all the networks to have NFL coverage.

The host is just basically there to referee all the analysts they've had over the years with the likes of Terry Bradshaw, Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long, Jerry Glanville, Cris Collinsworth, Ronnie Lott and Michael Streahan. Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Glazer both have contributed to the show in smaller capacities.

One drawback the show has is FOX using Cleatus the Robot, but that's a story for another time.

The NFL appeared to be new and hip in 1994 when it's NFC package went from CBS to FOX, and the network's show sure backed the new image up well. "Fox NFL Sunday" was always live from Hollywood, CA of all places and the hip basic network always would use the flashy diagrams and graphics and colorful diagrams on it's show to make the viewer like to a new take on the NFL. And the crew was unmatched it started with the host the informative and intelligent James Brown along with ex-players the down home Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long and ex-cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson. The show was always fun, interesting with talk chalk and I loved the on the field segment, Bradshaw gives the show laughs and Long knows how to report the NFL's trenches well. Changes have happened on the program just like on the field and in life the experiences come and go, some were good and some not so good you either liked them or loved them.

Over the years, Johnson left to coach again, but returned after it was a failure with the Miami Dolphins, also Chris Collinsworth has came and gone both from the studio and broadcast booth. Overall the biggest change was James Brown leaving for CBS, and now head play by play man Joe Buck also hosts the show, but the bad part is it's always on the road at the stadium of the game he's calling! No more studio FOX wise up this is not college football. Still the high points continue to be game reporting, and interviews which are done just fine by the beautiful Pam Oliver, and let's not forget one of FOX's best segments the one reason many non-football fans tuned in and that was the weather with the sexy Jillian Barberie. This show has slipped some due to losses but still overall good FOX just needs to put it back in the studio.

After several changes with people, they have now settled on a format that works. Nearly everyone on the show is knowledgeable with football and provides insights into the background and current events in the game.

That being said they still tow the corporate line and will never criticize the NFL management and are well versed in putting on the best look for the game.

Sometimes they have segments done by actors, aka SNL scripts, and they are rarely funny and are just used as filler in my opinion. With some many games to review prior kickoffs on Sunday it's disappointing to see lame comedy sketches.

Was big fan of show and cast, but having just listened to the cast unanimously characterize Roger's position as selfish is discussing. When it comes to a persons decisions on what is put into their bodies, which is a fundamental right, particularly when the science doesn't support the mandates that are being pushed, to label a person as selfish is presently the game as more important than those fundamental rights. Just very discussed and will not watch the show ever again!
