    For me it has to be NBC. It's almost always a great game between great teams, and the music is pretty killer. The announcers seem to do a fairly good job as well.

    Fox is a close second, but only because of the music

    For me it's about the people calling the game. Millen and deirdorf are terrible.

    I know Jim Nantz was a huge patriot homer.

    I used to like Nantz, and Simms, but yeah, they love the pats. Simms gets so dramatic and jacked up....:lol::):pats_suck::gpc:

    Anything but NFL.com. Don't take me away from the game to talk for 30 minutes.

    My favourite channel is anything recorded on Sky+, so that I can zoom through the interminable ad breaks.

    Football is so disjointed now it's almost an hallucinatory experience. At the end of three and a half hours you're not sure what you've just seen, or if it was real.

    I actually really like Jim Nantz and Phil Simms as a duo, but there is just too much talk from all the commentators nowadays. The colour guys especially think they have to deliver a monologue between each and every play.

    ESPN with John Gruden and Mike Tirico. I absolutely hate Chris Collinsworth.

    I like them both. They're usually fair and deliver the truth.

    I can't stand Gruden. The guy throws out way too much praise. I wish I could say the J.J. Watt thing last year was just out of the ordinary but it's not. That's pretty much how he is every game

    He'll go on and on and on about some undrafted free agent that's barely on the team as a special teamer or something and I want to smash my television. "He's just a GREAT. FOOTBALL. PLAYER..... I wish I could coach him!" - - Well Gruden, why don't you do us all a favor and do that. We won't have to listen to you talk anymore and you can gush about football players on your own time. Thanks.

    I like the Fox broadcasts, the CBS jets games are the worst I have ever seen., everything looks so bland and distant. But the NFL network is horrible.

    I can't stand the endless crap that spews from Gruden .... he can't stand even a second of silence. By the end of the first quarter my ears are bleeding.

    Whichever station is Collinsworth, I think NBC Sun night games. Tirico is annoying, Joe Buck is terrible, Bob Costas isn't a football guy, Aikmen can't announce worth a shit, Gruden is like Madden at the end of his career mixing up names and other stuff all the time, Marv Albert is decent, but he's getting old and mixing stuff up now as well. Al Michaels is annoying as well, but not so bad. I'm also not a big fan of Jaworski. Fox just sucks. I'll take CBS over them anyday, but I think NBC is the better one. And they really need to get better guys on NFL network. I can never remember their names but they are AWFUL.

    I'm a CBS guy I guess. Buttle isnt bad and Simms and Nantz are ok. I can't stand Buck and Goose. NFL Network isn't terrible, a lot of great insight, but the games sound quiet as all hell making most games, no matter how close, seem boring as fuck.. ESPN and NBC are both in the LOOOUD NOIIIIISES business and cool camera angles.

    My favorite channel is the NFL Redzone, because I hate watching the Phins every week on CBS. I only watch them when the play the Jets.

    FOX always shows the NFC East down here, so I would have to say NBC/ESPN are my favorites to watch.

    The best option for Jet games is to try and sync your television up to the radio to get Bob Wischusen and Marty Lyons.
