It's official. Nantz and Simms are not allowed to cover any team that isn't from Boston or New York

...and one day they'll cover the Ravens or Bengals.

Oh joy! Seahawks-Lions!

I guess CBS gave Gus the week off for his comment?

No, Macatee and Beuerlein were scheduled to to call Chiefs at Jags before the comment. I think Gus has some kind of MMA event.

Any complaints about Buck and Aikman doing Cards-Bears? Good to see Fox cover a team outside the NFC East.

Here in Buffalo, we are just excited to not get the Bills game this week...and the bye week technicality still counts

Hooray, we'll be getting Joe Buck back....

... Yeah.

hahah Boston has Carolina @ NO. Belichek must really want to scout those Saints.

@bk

If you look carefully, all the local markets of teams that play at 1 o'clock on CBS are getting NO/Car on Fox at 4.

@J.J. You left out Pittsburgh. Nantz/Simms did Steelers games during the first three weeks of the season. They then did Patriots games over the next four weeks. Now in Week 8 and 9, they'll do New York games.

BTW, they did do the Bengals-Steelers game in Cincinnati.

Sportz Assassin - "Nantz/Simms did Steelers games during the first three weeks of the season."

That's not true since Ten/Pitt was the NBC Thursday night game that opened the season. Nantz and Simms did Jets/Texans that week.

The Giants are falling off the cliff, and the Chargers may not be a playoff team. But let's give them to the whole damn country anyway!

That's my point.

As a Seahawks fan, it can hard enough just to sit through the damn game, but FOX decides it would it add salt to the paper cut by giving us Charles Davis yet again!!! THIS GUY IS ASS!!! He's terrible, adds nothing to the game, gives little insight outside of what he believes to be a "passing down" and generally tries way to hard. Thanks, FOX. Just... THANKS!

Interesting note about Buck and Aikman working the the Cardinals @ Bears game: this is the first time the FOX "A" team has worked the feature 4:15 ET/doubleheader game that did not include at least one team from the NFC East since Week 1 in 2007 (Bears @ Chargers).

Cardinals @ Bears is at 1 while CBS has the doubleheader. They worked Vikings @ Cardinals week 15 of last year as a standalone 4:05 (non doubleheader) game. Also, the A-team did call Vikings @ Packers last week, though that was only 2/3 of the regular A-team.

who is the worst? ESPN MNF? or Aikman/ Buck on FOX?

both are as exciting as watching paint dry
