History of Football on Television

Posted by Kavin Caruso in NFL Football Today

The NFL has seen changes throughout the last 55 yrs. Television is one of them. In the 1950's, football wasn't a popular sport. ABC, NBC, and CBS televised baseball on Saturday afternoons. It was a weekly ritual for baseball to have a game on television every week. In the NFL, there were maybe 1 game during the day and maybe 1 game at night. In 1956, CBS decided to carry the games to the local markets every Sunday.

Grading strictly on potential, the Bayou Bengals’ latest standout has the necessary attributes to be one of the rare shutdown corners at the next level. With a molded physical stature of 6’0” and 188lbs, Claiborne embellishes the ideal combination of size, wingspan, and upper-body strength to isolate elite receivers and force a battle within the five-yard bump-and-run cushion.

Posted by Eric Caldwell in NFL Football Today

This list kicks off with the MVP of the 2012 National Championship Game and the SEC’s most feared presence behind the line-of-scrimmage, Courtney Upshaw. A bruising force off the edge, UNC’s hand-crafted lineman has the physique of a basketball player and the relentless desire for contact that you’d see in a seven-year old bumper car driver.

Welcome to The Best Football Blog! Here on TheBestFootballBlog.com you will find content on all the major issues from the gridiron: past, present, and future. It's all and all here; everything you ever wanted to know, think about, and discuss about all the major issues and questions in the football world.

We created The Best Football Blog because, despite all the sports sites that are out there, we thought there was a major void left to fill. While ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and others provide complete instant football coverage (and occasionally even engaging commentary) there isn't another site out there on the net that was dedicated to providing detailed, informative, and substantive discussions about the biggest issues in the football world. It's easy to find out if a player gets traded and possible to find some decent commentary on the immediate effects, but we couldn't find a site dedicated to providing sports fans with detailing analysis of the deeper reasons behind current events and their medium and long term consequences. That is the void that we want this site to fill.

The point of The Best Football Blog is to bring you engaging, thought provoking, and completely unique content on the biggest happenings, issues, and problems in football. We want to go beyond the basic coverage of events and, as the site and community continues to grow, use high level analysis to delve ever deeper into the events across the football world. From the NFL, to NCAA College Football, to high school, we want to get you the best analysis of the major events so that you are never left wondering “why” again. That “why” question is the one that often goes unanswered by the current behemoths in sports coverage so it is that question-along with deep comparisons, what ifs, and more-that we this site to answer. We hope that The Best Football Blog will become your place to look for the answers to those questions and that you will come an integral part of our close knit site community.

As you might have guessed, we are not worried about breaking the news first; it's the advanced analysis of the events behind, and consequences of, that news that we are concerned with. As a result, you will notice that most of our content-even older articles-is not past due and out of touch. That's because our analysis is about looking at the big picture, taking on the questions that routine commentators leave alone, and analyzing issues from a viewpoint that is different from all the Talking Heads out there. We are about providing our readers with unique, unvarnished, long term analysis and that is what makes The Best Football Blog different from any other site on the internet. We are very proud of that so please take a look and we are sure you will see the benefits of this new approach.

The Best Football Blog is also about building a new online sports community for engaged football fans who want two things: to read the best analysis out there and have an outlet to contribute their own criticism, thoughts, and ideas. As you will notice, we always solicit your thoughts and comments in our articles and have comment boxes featured prominently on every page. There's a reason for that: we don't just want this to be a normal sports site that you visit, read, and leave; we want it to be a community of sports fans sharing their ideas. We started out as sports fans just like you; normal fans who wanted to read intelligent detailed analysis and express our own ideas at the same time. That's why we created The Best Football Blog: we want to create a web-based sports community where everyone reads our thoughts, contributes their own, and together we reach a consensus (or happily debate forever) on the biggest questions and issues in the football world today.

As a final note, we encourage you to join our subscription newsletter. You will find it on the top right hand corner of this homepage. The newsletter will be used to provide members of the Best Football Blog community with article updates, special content and analysis that is exclusive to our newsletter subscribers, and occasionally notices of great new products and services that we think could prove very helpful to our readers. We encourage you to sign up for it as your first step in joining this special new online community and becoming part of something new and unique in the sports world.
