NFL Red Zone Makes Remarkable Effort to Get NFL Fans Pumped With Latest Programming Choice
By Brady Williams
With NFL free agency being one of the only remaining reservoirs for sports news these days, 24/7 television and streaming networks have inevitably taken to broadcasting old games to fill airtime. The recent news drought has fans itching for more and more each day as our COVID-19 quarantines continue, and now, NFL RedZone is ready to scratch that itch. On Friday, they announced their most ambitious offseason programming plan yet: For 17 consecutive days, they'll be showing every one of their Sunday broadcasts from the 2019 NFL season.
According to an official press release, each programming block will be shown three times per day. It's all set to begin on April 6 with Week 1, and it will continue each day thereafter straight through Week 17.
People are going to watch this, for sure. Should be pretty fun. pic.twitter.com/khyTNuegWB

It's a chance to re-live one of the more exciting seasons in recent memory at a time in which viewers need it most. All the games can't be shown together in their entirety, but RedZone's condensed touchdown-after-touchdown format will allow for a healthy dose of excitement.
Oh man.....reairing Red Zone from the NFL season every day for 2 1/2 weeks? No idea how much of it I'll watch, but that's a great idea.

Diehard will surely be pumped to experience some NFL action anew. RedZone is a special kind of treat, and the kind we need to break the coronavirus blues.
