I have to say, I am absolutely pumped about this years coverage of the NFL on Skysports (cable based).
Here's what we are getting this year.
Quote:
*Pre-season: For the first time, six live pre-season games during August
*Sunday: Live Sunday evening ?triple-headers? throughout the regular season
*Monday: For the first time on Sky, ?Monday Night Football? live each week
*Interactive: Two extra live Sunday night regular season games via the red button
*Playoffs: Every game exclusively live from the post-season
*Super Bowl: Live coverage of the big game from Arizona on 3rd February 2008
*Extra matches: Pro Bowl, Thanksgiving Day, Thursday and Saturday night matches live
*Support: Including ?NFL Total Access? show six nights a week, a weekly highlights show, Sky season preview plus ?America?s Game? Super Bowl series

We had the 'triple-headers' last year - a live game shown from every slot (1PM, 4PM, and 8.30PM) - plus the option of an alternative game through the interactive utility (although i don't have this - my cable provider doesn't supply it).
We had MNF las year, too - but that was always shown on a terrestrial channel - makes no difference I suppose.
Im looking forward to the saturday night games, but the biggets thing will be the 'support coverage' through the week.

The America's Game stuff will be a real treat - I have never seen much coverage of the older SB's - it would be great to see some action from the 70's Steelers.
Yep.
Im pumped.
