* Possible double header on ESPN opening day
The NFL is considering an ESPN doubleheader for the opening Monday night game of the 2006 season, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday.
The doubleheader would take place on Sept. 11, with one game beginning at 6 p.m. Eastern time and the second at 9 p.m., Aiello said.
The proposed Monday night doubleheader would provide ESPN with a 17th game -- the league most likely is to go again without a game the final Monday night of the season
Pittsburgh and probably Seattle hosting conference games.
* NFL Network games
shown rom Thanksgiving on Thursday and Saturday nights are now unavailable to ESPN because the NFL Network has picked up eight late-season games on those nights, beginning with Thanksgiving night.
Blah. Games you need to have special netork to see.
* London Game?
As for the London game, Aiello said it remained under consideration. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said at the Super Bowl it was unlikely the NFL would play a regular-season game outside the United States this season.
