NFL Network's Steve Mariucci Has an Enormous Noggin

So the NFL has robbed us of the usual late-season slate of Saturday afternoon games, but what they've given us in return is much, much better. Okay, not really -- for starters, as it currently stands, about 250 people get NFL Network, which means that a lot of you will be shut out of tonight's Ravens-Cowboys game.

Not only that, but most people who don't blog for a living have stuff to do on Saturday night. I suspect Roger Goodell doesn't care about such things.

Not to worry, though; the fine folks who bring us the NFL Network pregame show -- Rich Eisen, Steve Mariucci, Deion Sanders, Marshall Faulk and Warren Sapp -- are all about making the experience a happy one. For all 250 of you (via Awful Announcing):

Wow. Warren Sapp is so fat that the fat house fun mirror makes him look skinny. Which, I think, means that Shaun Rogers and Casey Hampton would look like Rob and Fab. I'd pay to see that.

By the way, I'd love to see the CBS folks "accidentally" use the fat lens on broadcasting's moral beacon, Jim Nantz. I'm guessing he'd find it hilarious in much the same way Joe Buck loved Randy Moss' decision to pretend moon Packers' fans.

Not being able to get the NFL network really sucks. I cannot find a friend who has it either. Guess the NFL has no consideration for us poor folk who have to listen on the radio.

I have the NFL on Dish Network at my home AND at my summer house on Direct TV. I don't see why people still stick with cable!

Don't people realize it's NOT the NFL's fault that it isn't on cable? It's the cable networks which are bringing it to the sport packages instead of normal packages (as Golf Network, ESPN1 & 2, MSG, NESN, YES, Vs., etc are). If you have a dish, it's usually on the 150-200 channel package (usually around $50/m).

Drop your cable and get a dish. If you still want cable, call them up and petition them to add it to the basic package. It's not the NFL's fault!

Why do we have to listen to this broadcast team?They are horrible to say the least.The English language is being butchered on almost every comment these wanna be's make.If the net work was any where near the level of the other NFL networks maybe the other cable companies would want to have your network as apart of their programming.
