When does the NFL 07 schedule come out?

Hey SmootSmack, any chance the Skins get a Monday Nighter this year?

I could tell you...but then I'd have to kill you.

We're working on it. I've got a pretty good idea of what's going to happen but it's in the NFL's hands now

So how does that work, exactly? Does ESPN hand over scheduling ideas, and the NFL says yea or nay?

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.
