Save Inside the NFL

I can’t believe HBO dropped Inside the NFL. It’s only the best sports show on television. Sure, you can get a football weekend wrap up faster elsewhere, but no show combined the excellence of 4 intelligent, funny, and knowledgeable analysts, the inside reporting of Peter King, the fascinating feature stories, and the brilliance of NFL Films. It must be saved!

Professor,

Never fear. While ITN won’t be on HBO anymore, NFL films will keep producing it. It will just be on another network.

I suspect the NFL Network will pick it up. It’s a natural for them and they’d be able to justify airing it more than three times a week.

I liked the show better in the Len Dawson-Nick Nick Buoniconti era but it’s still good.  Costas and Collingsworth are excellent, Marino is a little stiff but a sharp analyst, and Carter is amusing because he’s so bad.

I do hope that NFL Network will pick up ITN.  It’s an all too rare thing -> an insightful, intelligent sports program.  Granted, I could do without Peter King’s incessant name-dropping, but hey, nothing’s perfect.
