OK Sunday is here and it is time for the Redskins to take the tour bus up I-95 to face the Ravens in a primetime showdown from M&T Bank Stadium. The game will be seen nationally starting at 8pm on NBC (4,11) but there will be plenty of local pregame chatter and smack talk to keep both sides warm on what will be a very cold night.
Every newscast in both Baltimore and Washington starting Saturday and going through Sunday night at 11pm will have uber coverage of the game. With 11:35pm post game shows on 2,4,5,8,11,13 and 45!!!
On the TV side Redskins Pregame Live will air on CSN-Plus at 6:30pm and they will have Kelli Johnson covering the Skins and Brent Harris checking in on the Ravens. This will be the pregame show I watch it is always well done and gives me great information on both teams.
WBAL –TV 11 will have some pregame and postgame programming with Pete Gilbert and Gerry Sandusky so keep a look out for their coverage if you are in the Baltimore area.
ESPN 980AM the flagship network for Redskins Radio gets with Kevin Sheehan and crew at 5:30pm with the game honors going to Larry, Sonny, Sam and Doc. Postgame will be Andy Pollin and John Riggins.
WBAL/98 Rock will have the complete Ravens coverage with Steve Davis and Keith Mills handling the pre and postgame coverage. Game broadcast duties will do of course to Gerry, Stan and Rob.
Postgame for the Redskins will be on CSN while the Ravens will have be on MASN.
The NFL Network will also have extensive postgame coverage as well for a little national flavor.
There will be postgame shows in DC on Channel at 11:35pm 4, 5, and 9. Meanwhile in Baltimore it will be postgame on 2, 11, 13 and 45 again all at 11:35pm.
Since the Battle of the Beltway comes up at 8pm it might make for some fun to check in on the BB&T Classic from the Verizon Center is on MASN at 5pm. It will be Navy taking on Virginia Tech with Maryland facing George Mason in the nightcap. Good friend Bob Carpenter will handle the duties as the play by play man with talented John Feinstein doing the color.
