The NFL Network has one, obvious job. Be the hub for NFL coverage. It’s in their name, it’s what they were founded on, and it’s why the league created the channel in November of 2003. Today? It seems to be spiraling down into a channel or old reruns.
The Network took another hit this weekend when Gregg Rosenthal announced his acclaimed and long-standing Around the NFL podcast was being shuttered. Details over why are unknown but based on his farewell messages, it doesn’t sound like the decision was up to him.
We started the Around the NFL Podcast 11 years and over 1,600 episodes ago.
