I apologize for this appearing multiple times for starters.

I do have a couple more links that I would like to share with you relating to Saturday's Packers/Bears' NFC Wildcard Game and why Amazon Prime Video got this game instead of the more traditional NFL broadcast partners.

First, former 670 AM The SCORE producer/part time host turned Barrett Media writer John "Rock" Mamola wrote the following column. He says that the networks better pay attention when the NFL's next TV deal is up. Streaming rights will play a major role and that games like Saturday's Packers/Bears' NFC Wildcard game airing on Prime could be just the beginning:

Second, Al Michaels has been broadcasting sports for as long as I've been alive, without revealing my own age. The 81 year old play-by-play man isn't about to call it a career, even though there has been criticism this season about what seemed like a waning interest in calling "Thursday Night Football". Michaels' comments can be found in this link:
