A true tragedy in sports television has taken place today. “Inside The NFL” has been cancelled after being on the air for 31 years. This is extremely upsetting because this show by far is the best NFL highlights show. For one, the narrator for the highlights has the best voice. But seriously, the highlights make the viewer feel as though they are part of the team. Along with the great footage there is constant audio from the players and coaches on the sidelines. It is outrageous for HBO executives to think that since ESPN runs highlights 24 hours a day that viewers are no longer interested in a once a week sports show. The NFL highlights are also much better quality than those on ESPN so even if a viewer has been watching ESPN when they tune into “Inside The NFL” they are not seeing the same footage.
It is a shame that executives seem to think that since the face of television is changing that traditional shows are not worth keeping around. Hopefully after this becomes more widespread news there will be a public out roar and the show won’t be cancelled after all.

Yea, I agree Kayla. Inside the NFL was a great show. Although i was never a huge Chris Collinsworth fan, I always enjoyed some of the different video looks that the NFL Films guys provided.
Ya that was a decent show, especially when Carter and Marino used to go at it. And like Adam said, it's always good when you hear the sounds of the game, like Inside The NFL always exposed.
Yeah that show was a good way to catch up on the week of football that passed. I agree, the voice for the show was awesome,Harry Kalas, who is also the voice for the Phillies. Inside the NFL will be missed.
I didn’t even know about this, so you just enlightened one of your readers. I, too, am a fan of the show and hope it sticks around. Good research and I like that you weren’t afraid to show your opinion. Very well done. Now to the grammatical issues:
1. “But seriously, the highlights make the viewer feel as though they are part of the team.” Watch your noun-pronoun agreement: “viewer” and “they” are not grammatically correct.
2. out roar should either be uproar our outcry.
