Somewhere Over The Desert (Nov 15, 2008) - I am flying over the desert now, heading back to Georgia. Delta changed aircraft, so there are no in-seat TV's. This means no college football to be watching on the way back. So I must turn my eyes to the NFL and work on tomorrow's NFL broadcast assignments for Fox and CBS.

CBS Sports has the doubleheader this week and Tennessee did not earn the A-team this week. So Jim Nantz anbd crew will be covering the Chargers at Stellers game. Adding insult to the Titans is that their game against the Jags is slotted directly opposite the A-game. But they do get Dick Enberg and Randy Cross, and a bigger audience than if the game was kicked at 1:00.

Byes this week: None as bye weeks are done for the 2008 season.

The following are the 2008 NFL Week 11 talent and production assignments. All are subject to change without notice.
