NFL to announce schedules

With Ben Roethlisberger dominating the news (at least for Steelers fans) it is not surprising that this item from the league has not received much attention:

The complete NFL schedule will be unveiled exclusively on NFL.com on Tuesday, April 20 at 7:00 PM ET. At the same time on Tuesday, NFL Network will feature a two-hour special, NFL Total Access: 2010 Schedule Release Presented by GMC Sierra. It is a perfect occasion for “two-screen” experience with the NFL.

For fans who want to see their team’s entire schedule immediately, NFL.com is the place to visit on Tuesday at 7:00 PM ET. NFL.com will be the first site to have the complete team-by-team and weekly schedules of all 256 regular-season games, listing opponents, sites and times. NFL.com will include a new interactive application giving fans a voice through fan forums, rating the schedules and answering poll questions.

Fans can now view NFL.com’s interactive schedule for the 2010 season at www.nfl.com/schedules/interactive. The interactive map charts team travel according to their schedules with travel distance, weather and additional information. Fans can rate their favorite team’s games, overall schedule toughness, answer additional poll questions and post comments.

With that announcement, and the draft beginning just a couple of days later, perhaps we can all get back to talking about football.
