'Sunday NFL Countdown' on ESPN has been on the air in some iteration since 1985 but the current crew is leading the show to some of best results in years.
We're down to 4 teams, this weekend will determine who faces off in Super Bowl LVII. Lorenzo Reyes gives his picks for Sunday's Championship Round games.NFL pregame shows have been a staple of preparing fans for football weekends for nearly six decades, and while the content may fluctuate between the heavy-handed to the mundane to the serious, the purpose of the shows cannot be overstated, whether viewers agree on what they are being told or not.
Viewership in key demographics, such as 18- to 24-year-olds, was up 13%, female viewership is up 8% and the telecast averaged 1.24 million viewers per show, the most since 2019. While the NFL name is part of the show’s title and the network pays billions to broadcast"Monday Night Football," the league is mostly hands-off when it comes to topics or the conduct of the hosts.
"I think I was more worried about that early in my career," Bruschi said."I think I progressed as an analyst to where I’m comfortable now being critical of or picking against the Patriots. Even Jeff Saturday, who I worked with a little bit, and being critical of him and the year the Colts had, wasn't a problem with me. This is who I am and this is my opinion. And I'm just proud that I'm just going to give it.
While spending that valuable time together, it gave the crew a chance to build the chemistry that is rare in the television industry and to collect data on each other just in case it was time to laugh. It could be Rex Ryan’s affinity for wearing the same jumpsuit all weekend, Bruschi’s love of croissants, or Moss’s addiction to sweets, as he will refuse to eat any yellow and green candy and graciously hand those to Ponder.
Ponder has a unique viewpoint as a host, first being a college sports sideline reporter for a decade and also as the wife of a former first-round NFL quarterback, Christian Ponder, who spent six seasons in the league.
