    (I know there are other channels to watch, haha).
    NBCSN! Its Stanley Cup time...

    L    ists the weekly time devoted to each sport on the 11pm SportsCenter. Last week (4/6-4/12) the NFL was 7.9% of the time.

    Somewhat hilarious was the first big week of Linsanity ... 15.5% of the time was spent talking about the Knicks. That's about 4 times more than the NHL gets per week. For one team.

    Not sure why Seahawks want Tanneyhill at 12 (which he will not be left at) when they just signed Flynn? Why not a receiver here - FLoyd or lineman to make that team better???

    Just as long as the Browns don't take him at 4...

    Steelers will open the 2012 season Sunday night in Denver against Peyton Manning. Sweet.
  • gorocks99
    49ers-Packers in week 1 as well. Awesome.
  • BR1986FB
    Steelers throwbacks for this year...



  • killer_ewok
    Posted pics of those earlier on the Steelers thread. Awful...

    Yeah, I didn't notice until after the fact. At least it's comforting to know that it's not only Browns fans who think those things are hideous. They wore something just as bad back in the Tim Worley days if I recall.

    Those ones from the Barry Foster days had some weird shield on them. Equally appalling.

    Sounds like the Browns are opening at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. Don't take that for gospel but it's the initial leak.

    # Browns
    open at home for 13th time in 14 seasons     # Eagles
    on Sun. Sept. 9

    You're right. It was Foster, not Worley.

    Also, you guys play the Giants in Week 5.

    Saw that and I just realized that the home opener is HORRIBLE considering they play the Eagles in Week 3 of preseason.

    Hot damn, 5 primetime games for Green Bay. Sucks royal that they have to play the Niners on 9/9 and turn around to play the Bears on 9/13.

    Browns full schedule...

    Thanks NFL.com....talk about a kick in the dick.

    [h=2]Inside the 2012 Schedule[/h]Let's play "Find the win so the Browns can avoid going 0-16." They'll be huge underdogs in every game they play against much more talented teams except for these two: an away tilt at Indianapolis in October, where Andrew Luck may have his sea legs under him; and a home game against the Redskins in mid-December. Cleveland could realistically be 0-13 headed into that one.

    @AdamSchefter Eight teams have five prime-time games: Broncos, Steelers, Chargers, Bears, Packers, Giants, Eagles, 49ers.

    Patriots and packers with the easiest schedule. Shocker

    This is largely due to the fact that the schedules are made with a template and each is the best team in their conference and thus doesn't have to play itself twice.

    Think about it this way. The Vikings have to play the Packers twice. Thats 30 Wins.
    The Packers have to play the Vikings twice. Thats 6 wins.

    Thats 24 wins to make up when they have the exact same schedule except for 2 other games.

    Bengals got a nice schedule. For about a month stretch, they don't leave the state of Ohio.

    SMH, this guy might as well just file for bankruptcy now:

    Not complaining a bit and they get a Sunday nighter a Monday nighter and the regular Thursday network game.
    AJ and Andy will be doing big things in primetime.

    Ugh... I hate that the Cowboys have an early bye week again... not really a fan of the schedule as a whole actually.

    Why? It gives romo and extra week to heal from his injury.
