STORM CENTER: NFL season is here
Well, the National Football League season officially started on Thursday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the New England Patriots.
The Patriots defeated the Steelers 28-21 as New England celebrated the pomp and circumstance of its fourth Super Bowl title. And now, we have a new problem, headsets.
The Bowie News will run the games expected to be televised here locally.
That’s for those of you without the DirecTV package like some fancy folks I know here in Montague County.
For the first time since the 1960s, and because CBS is no longer carrying the U.S. Open tennis tournament, that network will have the doubleheader for the first weekend of the season.
Early on, local CBS affiliate KAUZ will present the Kansas City Chiefs at the Houston Texans. The late game will be the Baltimore Ravens at the Denver Broncos.
There only will be one game on FOX, shown locally on KJTL, with this area set to receive the Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears.
Here are the broadcasters you’ll have for those games.
The Kansas City/Houston game will have Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. Jim Nantz and Phil Simms have been paired for Baltimore/Denver. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will team up for Green Bay/Chicago.
Of course, the Dallas Cowboys will play host to the New York Giants in AT&T Stadium, aka Jerry World, at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will bring the action to you.
On Monday, there will be a doubleheader featuring the Philadelphia Eagles at the Atlanta Falcons at 6 p.m. and then the Minnesota Vikings at the San Francisco 49ers. Read more from this column, including season predictions, in the weekend Bowie News.

Bowie softball had a historic season, where the squad made the postseason for the first time since 2019 and knocked a top seed from the playoffs, come to an end April 29.
No-4 ranked Tuscola Jim Ned got out to a quick start and took an 11-1, five inning win in the area round of the Class 3A Division I playoffs. Bowie had its season end at 19-15.
With a large crowd at Weatherford High rooting them on, Bowie took the field looking to knock out another top seed, as they did with Early last week.
