‘Sunday Sitdown’ — Patriots QB Tom Brady 1-on-1 Interview with Willie McGinest

Three-time Super Bowl champion linebacker with the New England Patriots Willie McGinest sits down with his former teammate Tom Brady for a 1-on-1 interview:

On New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick:

“He coaches us hard, he coaches me hard. He is relentless; ‘Brady can’t complete a hitch, wide open and you throw it in the dirt.’ Part of me wants to strangle him and say, ‘Don’t you know?’ But he doesn’t care. He wants us to be at our best every single day. That’s why we’re in this position.”

On playing against Peyton Manning and Eli Manning:

“These guys bring the best out of you. They have a great football family, their dad obviously was a great quarterback and you know they’re going to play their best. Eli always does; every time we play Eli, I sit on the sideline and watch him go up and down the field and I go, ‘Can we slow this guy down?’”

‘Sunday Sitdown’ — Giants QB Eli Manning 1-on-1 Interview with Kurt Warner

Super Bowl XXXIV MVP Kurt Warner sits down with Super Bowl XLII MVP and former teammate Eli Manning for a 1-on-1 interview:

On if he can imagine his brother Peyton Manning playing with any team other than the Indianapolis Colts:

“It’d be tough. He’s been so important to this town. When he came to Indianapolis, they were not known for their football – it was truly a basketball town. What he’s built and done here in his 13 years of playing, it would be hard to imagine him playing somewhere else. We’ll have to see what happens.”

On the rivalry with his brother:

“There is always a rivalry with your brother. Playing in high school football, who can have more touchdowns – those things are fun. Once you get to this level, this is our job, this is what we do for our career. It’s not something that you joke around a whole lot [about]. I know Peyton is proud of me. He’s proud that I’m in this situation; he’s rooting me on like I’m proud of him of what he’s done in his career and rooted him on when he was playing in his second Super Bowl and first Super Bowl. I want to win for all of the right reasons – it’s about the Giants, about our coaches, about just winning a championship. Not for bragging rights.”

‘Sunday Sitdown’ — Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick 1-on-1 Interview with Michael Lombardi

NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi sits down with New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick for a 1-on-1 interview:

On Patriots quarterback Tom Brady:

“It is an honor as a coach to be able to work with a player as skilled as he is to mentally and physically be able to perform at the highest level.”

On special teams:

“A big key for us is the kicking game…Hopefully we can make a couple of plays in that area that will help us win.”

‘Sunday Sitdown’ — Giants WRs Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks & Mario Manningham with Michael Irvin

Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl champion wide receiver Michael Irvin sits down with New York Giants wide receivers Victor Cruz, Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham:

On if the Patriots’ Julian Edelman is covering him in the game:

Mario Manningham: “I’d probably get Eli’s attention after I’m done pointing telling him look who’s out here. Not to put anything past him, but that’s not your real position. I want him to be out there. I take it as an insult. Me, Cruz and Hakeem, not saying we’re better than everyone else, but we can’t let that go down.”

On the meetings Eli Manning holds with wide receivers and tight ends each week:

Victor Cruz: “It usually happens two or three days before the game. It’s just a complete rundown of everything that he’s been looking at throughout the week, everything that he feels is important for us to know so when game time comes and we see those coverages, we can just adjust on the fly.”

Quotes from NFL GameDay Morning

“This guy is supernatural and he commands a double-team. That is going to open up some other things for some of these other receivers.” – Steve Mariucci on New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski

“It was a foregone conclusion that Peyton Manning was the best Manning in that family when it comes to quarterbacks. But for Eli to put himself into a position to win two rings – we know how hard it is to win just one ring, and older brother Peyton only has one – it puts Eli in a class by himself. That argument about him being an elite quarterback, if he wins this game that ‘E’ in his name will stand for ‘Elite.’” – Charles Woodson on New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning

“It takes you away from football, especially when you have an offensive football team – a passing offensive football team because it’s all about timing. If you look at the last four Super Bowls, there have been some really good offenses but only two of those eight teams have scored more than three points in the first quarter. It’s going to affect momentum early in the game.” – Kurt Warner on the effect of the bye week on teams before the Super Bowl

“The reason he doesn’t get more credit is because he is not flashy.” – Warren Sapp on Giants head coach Tom Coughlin

“Bill Belichick is the best at understanding his players’ strengths and weaknesses. Even if he has injuries he has to deal with or guys playing out of position, he knows how [to put them in the best position].” – Willie McGinest on New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick

“Their biggest challenge could be if Tom Brady has another bad game, can they hold up? If Tom Brady has no touchdowns, two interceptions and he plays the type of game like he did against the Baltimore Ravens, this defense against a hot offense with three really good receivers and a running game that is starting to emerge could be in trouble and exposed.” – Marshall Faulk on the New England Patriots defense

“Tiquan Underwood did not take very many reps this week in practice; we’re going to see the Chad Ochocinco show here. They wanted Alex Silvestro to be able to play on nickel downs. It’s going to be hot in this stadium; they need to rotate their defensive linemen. This clearly was a move that basically they wanted a defensive lineman on the roster and they had a spot with Underwood. Underwood will still get a game check and if they win the Super Bowl. He’ll still get a ring.” – Michael Lombardi on the release of New England Patriots wide receiver Tiquan Underwood on Saturday

“Julian Edelman will be the most versatile player in Super Bowl history.” – Steve Mariucci

“I promise you Bill Belichick is going back to that tape if for no other reason to show his guys, ‘Look where we left ourselves vulnerable; this is where we didn’t finish, this is where we broke down, this is where we’ve got to get better.’ That’s a lot more of a motivator than Tom Coughlin showing his guys the film going, ‘Don’t we look good here, wasn’t this nice here, we have to go do this again.’ Bill Belichick is going to tap into the emotion of that last loss by looking at the tape.” – Brian Billick on the adjustments Bill Belichick will make from the Patriots’ Week 9 loss to the New York Giants

“He is the face and the voice of this organization. There is no doubt who the leader is: Eli Manning is one of the very best quarterbacks in the National Football League.” – Steve Mariucci on New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning

“They’ll have a complete protection plan to frustrate this four-man pressure and to keep them off-balance. The game is going to be won by how New England protects, and New England understands that. The other factor is New England’s offensive line is much better today than it was last time they played them and certainly in 2007.” – Michael Lombardi on the New England Patriots’ offensive line

“If Tom Brady wins this game, it’s simple: he’s the greatest of all time.” – Warren Sapp

“Talking to Peyton, he wants to be a Colt. He wants to be a part of this organization, he wants to be a part of this team and my gut feeling is that he and Jim Irsay, they’re going to sit down and find out how to make that happen.” – Marshall Faulk on Peyton Manning’s future in Indianapolis

“While the Patriots are about to board their buses to the stadium, the Giants [staying nearby] might be able to zip-line their way to the stadium.” – Rich Eisen noting the popular zip-line for fans during Super Bowl week in downtown Indianapolis

All 32 teams to play in primetime in 2012

New Spanish-language NFL RedZone channel to debut in ‘12

NFL Network will televise five additional regular-season games in 2012 as part of its Thursday Night Football package, NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL announced today.

The Thursday Night Football schedule on NFL Network will now feature 13 games, all on Thursdays, from Weeks 2-15 (skipping Week 12). In previous years, the NFLN slate included at least one Saturday night game.  NBC will televise the Thursday night game on Thanksgiving in Week 12, in addition to the NFL Kickoff game.

“Adding these games to the NFL Network schedule will give more players, teams, and cities the primetime stage,” Commissioner Goodell said.  “Our fans can now get an early start on the NFL weekend in the season’s first 15 weeks.”

With the expansion of the Thursday Night Football schedule, all 32 NFL teams will now play at least one primetime game in 2012.  In addition, every club will play on one Thursday following a Sunday game.

Also in 2012, NFL Network will unveil a new Spanish-language NFL RedZone channel.  NFL RedZone, produced by NFL Network, debuted in 2009 and whips around to every NFL game on Sunday afternoons, delivering the touchdowns and most exciting moments as they happen. The channel keeps fans up-to-date in real time, switching from game to game with live look-ins, highlights and a chance to see the important plays.

Thursday Night Football averaged a record 6.2 million viewers in 2011 (not including over-the-air stations) – topping the average playoff viewership of other sports on cable. TNF has doubled average viewership from its inaugural season in 2006 (3.1 million viewers).

“This is a business decision. This is a football organization. It’s time. It’s time to move on without Peyton Manning.” – Warren Sapp on the quarterback Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts

Below is a transcript and video link of a preview of the interview:

On if he can imagine his brother Peyton Manning playing with any team other than the Indianapolis Colts:

“It’d be tough. He’s been so important to this town. When he came to Indianapolis, they were not known for their football – it was truly a basketball town. He’s changed that image a little bit, and it would be hard to imagine him playing somewhere else. I know that when he was drafted to the Colts, he had his mind set that he would love to finish his career here. That’s a lot of peoples’ goals; you never know if that’s going to happen, but he wants to play football. He’s going to rehab and he’s going to work as hard as anyone to try and get back healthy. We just have to see what happens.”

NFL NETWORK & NFL.COM SUPER BOWL XLVI NOTES & QUOTES – MONDAY, JANUARY 30

NFL Network’s 100+ hours of Super Bowl XLVI coverage from Indianapolis kicked off today at 2:00 PM ET with Super Bowl Live from the NFL Experience. Host Rich Eisen and analysts Michael Lombardi, Jamie Dukes, Willie McGinest and Heath Evans opened Super Bowl week with analysis, interviews with special guests, the latest news and reports, and live coverage of the New York Giants’ arrival and the New England Patriots’ press conference.

Below are video links and quotes from today’s show:

“Now, the offensive coordinators have realized the best mismatch on the football field is the tight end against their safety or linebacker; it’s not wide receiver against cornerback anymore. These guys are getting opportunities that guys in previous years didn’t get.” – Shannon Sharpe on the evolution of the tight end

“Change is here. Chris Hoke just came out and retired, Aaron Smith had the same surgery that Chris had…It’s going to be different this year. We are getting older, it’s inevitable there are going to be some new guys coming in and taking over.” – Steelers DE Brett Keisel on Pittsburgh’s defense

“What we have with [Bill] Parcells is what’s happening now: it’s legacy. In other words, two of his children are in this game.” – Jamie Dukes on the impact of former head coach Bill Parcells, who had Tom Coughlin and Bill Belichick on his coaching staff with the New York Giants

“The Maras and the Tischs probably never thought about firing Tom Coughlin. I really believe that. Truly, they believe that Tom Coughlin is the best coach today for their football team.” – Michael Lombardi on New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin

- The New York Giants arrive in Indianapolis for Super Bowl XLVI:

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-super-bowl/09000d5d82673473/The-Giants-have-landed

- Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe joins the show to talk about the new era of tight ends and how the game has changed since his playing days:

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d82673836/Sharpe-Hernandez-reminds-me-of-me

NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reports on quarterback Peyton Manning’s future in Indianapolis on Super Bowl Live:

“I reported that people associated with that general manager search, people who were involved in that general manager search who were in direct contact with [Jim] Irsay came out of it absolutely convinced that the decision [to move on] had been made. There wasn’t a whole lot of talk about Peyton Manning because there didn’t need to be a whole of talk on Peyton Manning. It was focused on the first overall pick and what to do at quarterback. It was focused on the salary cap and getting their salary cap house back in order, and figuring things out that way. It was about how much of the team can we gut, how deep does this run and how far away are we from turning it around. People came out of there – multiple people came out of those discussions thoroughly convinced that really there is nothing to talk about regarding Peyton Manning because they are going in a different direction as an organization because of Manning’s health primarily and paramount. They didn’t see any scenarios existing where Peyton Manning is going to be healthy enough to play football for Indianapolis in enough time for them to actually make this decision on his option.”
