NFL Network will present more than 100 hours of Super Bowl-related programming, including 55 hours of live coverage and more than 60 HD hours.

 

The National Football League’s cable service said highlights will include every NFL-related press conference live, including: team arrivals; player availability; head-coach press conferences; Hall of Fame announcement; commissioner Roger Goodell’s first Super Bowl press conference; the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award; special performances by Prince and Cirque de Soleil; and sponsor award conferences.

 

NFL Network will also air five hours of live coverage on Media Day Tuesday, Jan. 30, along with a live three-and-a-half-hour pregame show on Super Bowl Sunday from Dolphin Stadium in Miami and a two-hour postgame show.

 

Super Bowl XLI will air live from Dolphin Stadium in Miami Sunday, Feb. 4 on CBS.

They showed Tony Dungy last night with an afro and beard on one the 70's Steelers teams. Pretty funny.

I watched Superbowl III ( Jets-Colts ) last night . It was the first time I had seen that game and also part of superbowl XXXVIII (Pat's- Panthers ), very enjoyable. The NFL network rules!

Isn't the superbowl pregame stuff on ESPN and CBS excruciating enough without having SIXTY HOURS of programming on NFL network?

No, anything in 1080i is better than 480P or worse. Noone watches all of it.

 

CBS is nothing but fill in between commercials.
