SCHRAGER'S TOP 100 PLAYERS
FOXSports.com's Peter Schrager has unveiled his annual rankings for his top 100 NFL players. Check the list, plus the fan reaction.- Nos. 100-81 | 80-61
- 41-60 | 40-21 | 20-1
The NFL is shifting the start time of the second game of its Sunday TV doubleheaders by 10 minutes to ensure fewer fans miss any of the action on the field.
The late afternoon matchups on CBS and Fox will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET instead of 4:15. Because of the networks' contractual obligations, fans in the past would sometimes miss the end of the early telecast or the beginning of the late one if the 1 p.m. game ran long.
The broadcasters must switch to the start of the second game in the home teams' cities even if the day's first televised contest is still going on. For fans in other markets, that overlap means they don't get to see the opening of the late game.
