Nice one, ship it, crucial.
I did the gamepass thing during the regular season, cost me $200ish, now they want an extra $60 for the post season.
They can fookin swing for it, I'll get SkySports.

Sky have shown every playoff game live in the past few seasons, I would be surprised if they didn't this season. Though i do believe the broadcasting deal is split so the playoffs are bid for separetly so I suppose there is a chance that they might be on elsewhere.

Sky show the play offs. With simultaneous games in wild card week they show one on red button, one as main match. Channel Five also have one show a week. This is good as they have Mike Carlson, a wonderful analyst. Far better than Sky's Nick Halling who takes himself too seriously
Pro Bowl shown last year, but it really is the most interminable load of nonsense. Very missable.
Despite massive dysfunctionality Dallas make it in if they win in Philly at the weekend. One time, don't choke. Pls, ty.

I have never known playoff games to be played at the same time (I may be wrong as i haven't watched a lot of American football in the last decade), the schedule this year has no overlap. With 2 game on Saturday and 2 on Sunday, with early and late games.

In full agreement with this Mike Carlson is a really really good analyst and always go out of my way to watch the games on 5 purely because of him.

Pro bowl lol, I won't be watching this joke of a match if you paid me. The american football equivalent of international friendlies.

Yep got all the tiebreaks in their favour, could well be a threat in the Playoffs with the talent on their team. In fact all the first round playoff matches are looking pretty good games.
Will look something like this
AFC
Indy @ SD/Den
Baltimore @ Miami /NE
NFC
Atlanta @ Arizona
Dallas @ Minnesota
Think all the away teams are slighty better sides but home field should balance that out.

Dalllas will be a stroll for whoever is lucky enough to get them in the play-offs (in the unlikely event that they get there). Barber and Witten injured and a QB who has never won a big game. Philly match up well against Dallas, Asante Samuel takes care of TO, goodbye Dallas.

Got to agree that Mike Carlson is the best analyst and i always watch the Five coverage over Sky,Kevin Cadle puts me on lifetilt.Seeing Mike on the BBC in a suit doing the coverage is funny,watching him try to be serious for the whole game and not crack any schoolboy jokes cracks me up.

Anyone else think Kevin Cadle could well be Jay-Z's dad?

I didn't know the probowl was such a big joke.
That's all the American commentators could go on about all year. It's like they can't mention someone's name without first stating how many times they've been to the pro bowl.
Here's 2-time pro bowler Joe Bloggs in his fourth year out of Texas Tech.
From week one they were all speculating, who's going to Hawaii etc etc. I guess they're just talking it up because they've got to.
Had me fooled, I thought it was a big deal.

I think the voting for it is a biggish deal and I actually tried to cast my vote for it a month or two ago but my computer didn't like it for some reason.
The game itself is just not taken seriously at all, thats why they have it in Hawaii so the players get a nice place to have a holiday.

its media hype on the one hand, but on the other the voting system is biased towards "stars"
1/3 of the votes to go the fans, 1/3 to the players and 1/3 to the coaches
the fans vote skews it to players on tv a lot, or the better supported teams
also players get bonuses in their contracts if selected to the pro bowl
most commentators, and diehard fans would select all star teams fairly different from the hyped teams chosen for the Pro Bowl
the game itself becomes as joke as the importance, if any, comes from the selection not the game itself. Most of the players voted in will be replaced pre-game because of injuries etc
the game itself bears no resemblance to real games, a bit like watching the Harlem globetrotters play basketball, you know they are showing off but equally you know there's no defence to beat
