Untitled[edit]

I am not at all certain that the person who tagged this article so heavily either (a) understands American football, (b) American television, or (c) the fact that this article is a splitoff/disambiguation of another article. I also don't think that any research was done before tagging the article. This article is neither speculative nor unencyclopedic. It is a part of the history of the National Football League on TV and was split off another article (ESPN Sunday Night Football) to which it clearly didn't belong. -- Robster2001 02:51, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Agreed. The edit summary does not appear confident. [1] Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Football Night in America merge[edit]

It doesn't need to be merged. Sunday Night Football refers to the games and Football Night in America refers to the pre-game show. Currently, they are two separate entities and should remain that way until we know more about how they operate.

New logo?[edit]

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but NFL.com is using an updated NBC SNF logo on their website, however, the broadcast and NBC Sports are still using an older version. Should we include, what appears to be an updated logo, or keep the previous version?-- Astros4477 (Talk) 01:47, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article combination with ESPN Sunday night football[edit]

Should this article be combined with the ESPN to list SNF as a whole instead of 2 different articles to be like MNF and TNF as well? Hoopstercat (talk) 17:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why stop there? We already have separate NFL on ABC, NFL on NBC, NFL on TNT, and NFL on Prime Video pages that cover each broadcaster's NFL packages through the years. So there should also be a separate NFL on ESPN page as well, and not a mere redirect to the MNF page. Zzyzx11 (talk) 02:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I agree, the NFL on TNT page has certain things that could be incorporated into the overall SNF article as well Hoopstercat (talk) 12:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And I have to say yes to the ESPN page instead of a MNF redirect Hoopstercat (talk) 12:15, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
On second thought, I will be neutral on this. SNF seems a totally different animal because you had two different broadcasters between 1990 and 1997 (ESPN and TNT), and then a complete switch between ESPN and NBC in 2006. So you have multiple histories that would probably still merit some page split. With MNF, it was still kept within the Disney family of networks, and they seem to treat it as one continuous history from 1970. And then with TNF, there was still the overlap with NFL Network/Amazon simulcasts between 2017 and 2021. Zzyzx11 (talk) 18:43, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well 1 thing still needs to happen is a NFL on ESPN page to describe ESPN’s tenure overall, then SNF can be incorporated somehow with ESPN and TNT combined somewhere in the history just like how TNF had CBS and NBC as broadcasters together Hoopstercat (talk) 20:54, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Hoopstercat: Please refrain from moving this article to Sunday Night Football without further consensus. See the current consensus on Talk:Sunday Night Football. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 00:02, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you open the discussion over there again since it really needs to be talked about again Hoopstercat (talk) 00:03, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
However creating a NFL on ESPN article to state ESPN's nfl coverage over the years can and should go on @NmWTfs85lXusaybq Hoopstercat (talk) 00:04, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I understand the sentiment here, but I still think this is a bit much. The difference between SNF and MNF is that MNF has been broadcast by the same parent company since the beginning: ABC/ESPN, owned by Capital Cities/ABC then Disney. Sunday Night has been broadcast by two different corporations, Disney and NBCUniversal. Thus, we have articles for ESPN Sunday Night results and NBC Sunday Night results. That's not even to mention how the Saturday Week 18 games last season were branded as "NFL on ESPN", thus warranting the redirect to the MNF page. I would advise against such a move. Jimania16 (talk) 13:38, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree on this @Jimania16but NFL on ESPN overall just doesn’t equal to just MNF it needs to include all of ESPN's time over the years and now NFL on ESPN article will need to include those extra late season Saturday games to its article Hoopstercat (talk) 14:21, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. This was before I knew the NFL on ESPN redirect was deleted. If you are on the task for creating an article, then cool. Jimania16 (talk) 18:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
