The National Football League. You know, that thing that you use to avoid going to the Farmers Market every Sunday?

Millions of football fans watch their team but can’t stand the announcers. Whether it be a play-by-play guy who doesn’t show much emotion or one that shows too much emotion with catch phrases and the like.

It seems like no football fan is ever happy with their NFL coverage. I’m here to fix that.

Here is the perfect NFL broadcast schedule for Sunday, from the pregame show all the way through the postgame wrap-up. This is the perfect list of old school and new school, dramatic and comical. The ideal group of people that would make you come back to watch again Sunday after Sunday.

First let’s start with the pregame show.

Pregame Host – Brent Musburger

Is he old? Yeah. Is he one of the best pregame show hosts ever? Yeah.

As much as I love Musburger doing play-by-play, he’s really at his best as the table-setter for the day’s NFL action. His best work came on the NFL Today in the 1970s through the 1980s. Plus you get to hear his iconic “You’re looking live!” scanning the various sites for NFL games on a particular Sunday. Look, I see nothing wrong with Curt or James but Brent gives a bit of a dramatic flair that’s needed for the NFL pregame show.

Pregame Analysts – Howie Long, Terry Bradshaw and Jimmy Johnson

Yeah I plucked three members of the same broadcast team to join Brent. So what, you want to fight about it? The reason I picked these three is because they’ve got great chemistry and all offer something to the broadcast.

Long gives you the solid analysis, Bradshaw gives you the funny and hilarious lines while Johnson dabbles in both from a championship-winning coaches perspective. Now what about the game….
