1. In a time where the way we consume sports content is constantly changing, Fox Sports has done it Fox NFL Sunday is really impressive.

The pregame show, starring Curt Menefee, Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, Michael Strahan, Rob Gronkowski and Jay Glazer, finished the regular season with an average of 4.4 million viewers per week.

Fox NFL Sunday has been on the air for 31 seasons. It was the most-watched NFL pregame show for 31 consecutive seasons.

Fox is helped by having games in major markets like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Dallas and others, but as cross-flex between CBS and Fox becomes more common and football fans now have a million options for pregame content thanks to streaming, on social Media and podcasts, being ranked #1 for 31 years in a row is impressive no matter how you spin it.

It also shows how much sports fans love familiarity. Fox NFL Sunday has made additions in Strahan and Gronk over the years, but Bradshaw, Long and Johnson are a fixture on Sunday. You have been with us for 31 seasons in a row. Even if you’re not a fan of pregame shows and want to attend every now and then, it would make sense for you to gravitate toward Bradshaw, Long, and Johnson based on the comfort and story alone.
