Week one of the 2007 NFL season is in the books and it’s time for me to go into “sponge mode”. There is no such thing as too much information during football season; hence the MW is soaking up as much 411 as possible from the radio, web and TV.

One of my staple media outlets is The NFL Network and the program I watch most often is “Total Access”. This show has a slew of rotating hosts and co-hosts. The night I watched was September 11th with the studio crew consisting of Fran Charles, Terrell Davis and Rod Woodson. I like the three person scheme for a show of this format. This one is based on news, injury updates, post game analysis and a lot of commentary. Three is not a crowd when in studio and it’s nice to always see a debate when a third party can be the deciding vote. I noticed on some of the game day shows on ESPN and NBC there are as many as six people. Can anybody say overkill? Does every ex-player and coach need to have a network gig?

The show opened with an update on the Patriots signals stealing controversy by lead reporter Adam Shefter. This guy is good and I like his “just the facts” style…he has no fluff in his reporting and that’s refreshing
