I'd like the see the following happen:
1. Let the SNF network (assuming it stays network) have 2 weeks of playoff games on Sunday Night, instead of two Saturday Wild-card games.
It just seems like a better case for continuity. Right now, NBC gets 2 Saturday Wild Cards, and CBS/FOX split the Sunday games, and each have 2 Divisional games.
If my proposal, the schedule would go (assuming all networks stay the same):
Wild Card: Sat 4:30pm AFC/CBS, 8pm NFC/FOX Sun 4:30pm NFC/FOX, 8pm AFC/NBC
Divisional Playoffs: Sat 4:30pm NFC/FOX, 8pm AFC/CBS Sun 4:30pm AFC/CBS, 8pm NFC/NBC
NBC gets their games on Sunday night, plus a divisional instead of a 2nd wild card. That should make the SNF package increase even more than a nominal amount. The AFC & NFC packages would rotate every other year who gets the two Divisional playoffs vs who gets the 2 Wild Card and only 1 divisional. This is only a decrese of 1 divisional game every other year (and they pick up another wild card), so, doesn't seem like something that should really make the contract dip too much.
2. Let the MNF Cable contract also get to rotate in the Super Bowl rotation (assuming it stays ESPN, I doubt any other network would get it). ESPN would show the Super Bowl as "ESPN on ABC" (no Super Bowl on cable) obviously, but, would still be interesting to see the Super Bowl with ESPN branding, I think.
