Bodog, knowing I am a sucker for weird betting props, has sent a bunch related to the NFL schedule coming out Tuesday.
Click below to read them. Adults only, please.
One thought: Tom Hammond makes sense to be listed as a heavy favorite for Bryant Gumbel's old NFL Network gig, but Ian Eagle does not appear anywhere on the list, and birdies singing in my ear have told me nice things were being said about him around the NFL Net last year.
Hammond would be good. Ian might be even better.

easy decision...Tom Hammond. Hes better than Nantz or Buck. No messing around he just calls the game.
I wouldn't bet on the Republican nominee being at the NFL Season Opener... that's on the same night that he will be officially nominated at the convention.
Crafty Lefty: Excellent point.
So you have 'little birdies' telling you stuff too? Just like Mike Francesa. That's awesome. :)
Francesa is Neils little birdy.
It should be Tom Hammond. Collinsworth and him gelled well.
How about Harry Kalas? Hearing him read the sponsorship announcements was such a tease last year... Although I would definately be in favor of Ian Eagle too...
