It will still be JB, Terry, Howie and Jimmy on NFL on FOX Sunday this fall. But plenty will change as the network's pregame show will sport a whole new look.

Joe Buck, a six-time Emmy Award winner, has been named as new host for the FOX NFL Sunday pregame show and postgame show The OT on doubleheader weekends.

It marks the first time in sports television history that a broadcaster will host an NFL pregame show while simultaneously handling play-by-play duties.

The announcement was made Monday by David Hill, chairman of the FOX Sports television group and executive producer for FOX Sports.

Buck joins Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, Pam Oliver, insider Jay Glazer and comedian Frank Caliendo this season, beginning with the 2006 premiere on Sunday, September 10 at noon ET.

Joe Buck will take over as host from James Brown. Seems like a nice move, but not sure how well this is going to work.

Huge NFL news! (No, T.O. has not broken wind)

It's going to be awfully crowded and a lot of voices fighting for air time. Dump Jimmy J and his formica hair.

Are you telling me that we could make through an NFL game without the piecing insights of Pam Oliver or the knowing analysis of one Jimmy Johnson? I just don't know about that.

NFL PING

FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list...

This is a fairly high volume ping list

Seems like the naacp folks will be up in arms over this one.

Supposed to trade a black for a black, according to their book.

In my opinion, Joe Buck sucks in football. If Fox dumped his sorry arse from the NFL, it would be much better for me. When he's announcing a game I'm watching, I turn on the radio, and live with the delay. But that's just me.

Shouldn't that read "Hugh" NFL news?

I liked it when Randy Moss pretended to moon the crowd and Joe Buck acted like Moss had gassed 6 million Jews. He's awesome.

I give a flip about the NFL.

College and high school football is all I'll be watching.

Pro football sucks!

LOL!!! Hahahaha

I have reached the point where the sideline reporterette angle of football game coverage has sharpened my pressing the mute button skills to an expert level.

I am as series as the proverbial heart attack. This is according to Yahoo news.

I only break jocular Freeper protocol when dealing with the series business of the NFL.

Even more series is that ABC finally found a dance partner for Tucker Carlson:

Tell me this is a joke. Has his career truly come to this now?

[NCC-1701]

Go to the link provided. It gives all the pairings. Yes, Emmitt will be paired with Cheryl Burk who, with Drew Lachey, won the last DWTS contest. Should be interesting. Especially with Sara Evans on the show.
