NFL Network or ESPN? | Page 3 | 49ers Webzone Forum

But the people on ESPN are so much more entertaining. I am watching both right now and geebus, NFL network is boring me. don't get me wrong, I like Tory Holt and Jim Mora, but man, they get boring fast.

NFL Network offers the best coverage, specially when it comes to 'green room' bonuses and such.

what does that mean though? how are they scaling back? I hear they will only have 3 people talking, Mel, Boomer and someone else. I still think those 3 are more entertaining than what NFL network has to offer. The only thing that NFLN has is that they are having the niners war room.

Ok, so IMO, ESPN coverage is far better. They hav hig lights of every player and talk in more depth about them.

I hate how both cut to the player talking on the phone and ruin the surprise. To me it's more fun to find out when the commissioner announces the pick.

Is it me or did Gruden seem disinterested. All he did was stare straight ahead.

I do both like a lot of others suggested. I watch ESPN on cable. And I stream NFL Network coverage on my computer. I can't say which I like more. I like both. They are just different. I'm not sure I like ESPN's scaled back coverage or not. Too many people talking is bad. But just 3 seems lite also. It seems like it's missing something. Plus no coverage of the war rooms or less of it anyway. ESPN's coverage is weak this year IMO.
