Re: When does the NFL 07 schedule come out?
 

[QUOTE=Beemnseven;287479]Except for the last one. The last two have been in Dallas, so it's our turn if it's to happen this year. Somehow, I think ESPN could care less if a 5-11 Redskin team makes it to Monday Night.

Still, the Dallas-Washington Rivalry has heated up recently, so that might be enough.[/QUOTE]

DC is a good market for us and there is a lot of tradition there so we definitely care but it's not our call ultimately

[QUOTE=Beemnseven;287481]So how does that work, exactly? Does ESPN hand over scheduling ideas, and the NFL says yea or nay?[/QUOTE]

For the NFL yes pretty much. There are several pionts in the contract we must fulfill to try to get a variety of regions on MNF. It's a bit tougher now to get our top choices because they have their own network now, and last year they were very intent on making sure NBC got strong games.
