'Inside the NFL' is kaput on HBO after tonight
I am working on a story for the newspaper about HBO's surprise announcement that tonight would be its final installment of "Inside the NFL'' after 31 seasons, but I wanted to tell you now in case you want to watch.
Amani Toomer will be on.
More Thursday.
(UPDATE: Dawson and Buoniconti will be on tonight, too!)
(ANOTHER UPDATE: I just spoke to Buoniconti. He said he thanks Toomer on tonight's show both for Sunday's victory over the Pats and the 1998 win over the 13-0 Broncos in which Toomer scored the winning TD pass. "I owe him a couple of glasses of champagne, not just one,." he said.)

R.I.P. Inside the NFL , what is next? PBS yanks Sesame Street?
"Inside The NFL" in a similar format will probably be on the NFL Network come the fall.
So even less people than those who subscribe to HBO can see it.
You read it here, first.
I definately see the NFL Network picking this up. They resurrected Hard Knocks before HBO took it back and they have Collinsworth do games.
It will not be the same on NFL network, maybe I am being a little nostalgic but it reminds me of my youth watching it on HBO. I always loved the back stories they did on that show and if you watched it when it first airs on a Wed. night you get some good inside info from Peter King. It will not be the same format anywhere else, a sad loss indeed!
It was a great last show and always has been a great show. It got a little too sappy at the end.
