Football starts on CBS on September 9 and today CBS Sports announced its on-air roster for the upcoming NFL season. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will once again lead the charge for the network with The NFL On CBS on Sundays. Additionally Greg Gumbel will call games along with Dan Dierdorf, as will Ian Eagle with Dan Fouts and Marv Albert with Rich Gannon. Kevin Harlan and Solomon Wilcots, Bill Macatee and Steve Tasker and Steve Beuerlein and Spero Dedes will offer play-by-play and analysis as well. Randy Cross and Don Criqui, who were among last year’s pairings, were not among today’s names for the 2012 season. James Brown will anchor the in-studio pre-game The NFL Today show with reporter Lesley Visser and analysts Dan Marino, Boomer Esiason, Shannon Sharpe and Bill Cowher. This season will see something new as Jason La Canfora joins The NFL Today as the “NFL Insider.” The 2012 NFL season will mark the 53rd year of CBS airing National Football League games and the 45th year of The NFL Today on the network. Super Bowl XLVII is scheduled to be broadcast on CBS on February 3, 2013 from New Orleans.


thik we have another Tebow hater in Dan Dierdorf. A few days ago he said Elway was so smart in assembling his new ROSTER. That clearly meant the oustr of Tim. It might not have been so blilliant in the long term. Then he said Tim had nothing to do with the wins the Broncos had last year toward the end of the season. That is clearluy wrong. Is this s heart matter, Mr. Dierdorf?
Your story states that “Additionally Greg Gumbel will call games along with Dan Dierdorf.” Dan, the highly partisan announcer, nothing new here, and his totally out of it partner Greg Gumbel did a horrible job of officiating the game. They should leave the calls to the officials and stick to calling the game.
Hopefully, they will not be “Officiating” the AFC Playoff Game in Foxboro.
I quite like reading through an article that can make men and women think.
Also, many thanks for permitting me to comment!
