Anyone miss the old ESPN NFL Prime time?

I know it's popular to bash ESPN on the MSB, but the NFL Prime Time show from the nineties and early 2000s was great, even with Chris Berman.

Why is the anchor desk segregated?

Why not?

Yes I'm finding it harder and harder to get some highlights. Everybody shows abbreviated highlights then talks on their panel for 20 minutes.

Exactly, prime time used to have a ton of highlights.

I had to switch to nfl network which isn't great but atleast they are showing highlights.

It was the best, watched it every Sunday.

Yep. Loved that show. Highlights seem to be a thing of the past now. All these shows wanna do nowadays is have their "experts" throw their analysis and opinions everywhere.

Also had the best highlight music after NFL films.

Big time miss it.
I loved it in the 90s.
Used to love watching it right before the espn Sunday night game.

Yea, that music was fantastic. Made it feel like there were higher stakes than there were

I think it's more of a reflection of ESPN declining

I think longer games and later starting games played a part in prime time going away.
Late games used to start at 3pm Central, but now many start closer to 3:30, so some don't end until nearly 7pm.

When NBC acquired the rights for Sunday night games beginning in the 2006 season, NBC negotiated for exclusive rights for extended highlights during its Football Night in America pregame show.

So you think the NFL used to be a better game because NFL Prime Time showed more highlights?
Posted on 9/14/14 at 9:54 pm to cubsfan5150
NBC killed it. ESPN Prime Time was a fantastic show, and had terrific, extended highlights. It was almost like getting the Cliffs Notes on the whole game. Also, the running jokes were pretty great.
