Sunday Night Football on your computer

NBC is making its Sunday night NFL games available via online streaming at NBC.com and NFL.com. The network and league say this is "the first time complete NFL games will be widely available in the U.S. via live online streaming."

You won't get just a version of the TV game on your computer, however. Added features online include: alternative camera angles, picture-in-picture to watch other streams and access to on-demand highlights.

NBC referred to the online version of the games as "a one-year experiment." NBC's first Sunday Night Football Extra begins on a Thursday, with the league opener Sept. 4 between the Redskins and Giants.

I saw this item at Deadspin (be advised for some blue language in the comment section), but I'm sure it's all over the Web by now, given that it involves Erin Andrews and her bed. To summarize: Like many fans, she has a superstitious routine when she watches her Gators play football or basketball in order to ensure victory. But it's not a lucky hat or shirt. Andrews, according to Sporting News Today, said: "I have to be upstairs, sitting on my bed. My bed has to be totally cleared of the pillows, comforter and blanket. This began during Florida’s run to their second basketball national championship. The team was trailing Purdue, I was so nervous and upset, I kicked everything off my bed … and they started winning.”

 

About Ray Frager
Ray Frager joined The Baltimore Sun’s sports department in 1985 and has been an assistant sports editor for more than 15 years. This is his second stint writing a sports media column for The Baltimore Sun. Most sequels aren't as good as the original, but then, the original wasn't all that great either.

Frager, born in 1957, grew up in northern Delaware (graduating from a high school that since has shut down) and received his bachelor's degree in journalism from Rider College in Lawrenceville, N.J. He worked as a reporter and copy editor at The Trenton Times and The Dallas Morning News before coming to Baltimore.

Surprisingly, if you look at his accompanying photo, Frager is married and has a son and daughter. He enjoys playing basketball and has organized pickup games among members of The Baltimore Sun staff for many years, which means they don't get too mad at him for shooting way too much.

He has a good beat and is easy to dance to. I'd give him an 85.
