I have to first interrupt this broadcast with a bit of Political commentary.  Washington, you actually have the talent to do something, reach the play-offs, maybe even the SuperBowl.  But you're never going to do it until you change the name of your team.  I'm not one for name changing, but in this case, Redskins is still and will forever be, offensive.  Now, on with the story.Tonight marks the season opener of the NFL, and not a moment too soon.  Millions of televisions will be turned on for the first time in months.  New flat screens and surround sound systems will have to meet the challenge, the reason they were purchased.  It's Football season baby!!!!

However, this year marks a new player in the game of life, the internet.  

Live streaming of Sunday Night Football kicks off tonight with the season opener and a little something extra.  Viewers will be able to choose the camera angles they want to watch the game in. 

"This is an exciting step forward for us as we offer our fans a new way to watch NFL games," said Steve Bornstein, NFL Executive Vice President of Media. "We are combining NBC's outstanding Sunday Night Football telecast with extras that will enhance the fan enjoyment of the game."

"In the first two seasons of NBC Sunday Night Football we created a new destination to reach viewers and changed traditional primetime football viewing habits," said Dick Ebersol, Chairman, NBC Universal Sports & Olympics. "Now, together with the NFL, we are adding the live streaming element where users can interact with the broadcast to enhance their experience."
