Re: NBC USFL promotion
I'm guessing NBC takes the first five Sundays (four noon starts and one 3:00--the latter following Orioles/Braves on 5/7, the rest doing the dance around other events (Indycar, horse racing, French Open, and US Open) so FOX probably takes the majority of games in the second half of the year.
And FS1/USA gone? Not that I'd miss them if they were out but if it was just an oversight little disingenuous to bust on Rock for omitting FX and ESPN2 when NBC just did the same with the cable stragglers, whether it's your preferred league or not.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. USFL's broadcast schedule is not yet published. The XFL's was.

Re: NBC USFL promotion
Which means?
And one's a returning league (in its current iteration) to go on, one isn't. The one that is had said cable outlets that carried 15 of 40 reg season games, it's not a reach here to wonder about their omission.

Re: NBC USFL promotion
Tank - correct.
The question here is - is USA no longer in the mix and is NBC taking a larger slice or is it being pushed to Peacock. The FOX TV adds says FOX / NBC but thats pre sch.

So on one hand you're going to dismiss it, and on the other you're going to give validity to it, got it.

Re: NBC USFL promotion
Tank is correct in saying that the full schedule is not out. Once its out we'll know. Last year they clearly listed all Nets the games would be on. Not to mention that FOX will likely be the prime and NBC (proper) the second biggest nets carrying the games. When, as a person, you state "games will be on ESPN and ABC" its not accurate. And self defeating. NBC is clearly saying about it own coverage NBC & Peacock. If that expands to USA I expect them to include USA.

Re: NBC USFL promotion
What is this if the league expands to USA? Were they not in last year?
So yes, even if the broadcast schedule isn't set, you know/have a pretty good idea at the least who will be involved--being that you have a prior season to go on. Thus there's no difference between Rock's and NBC's no matter how much you qualify it in a lame attempt to hide that you're playing favorites.

Wondering about it is fine. It's just different than what The Rock did.
