One of the 1:00 NFL games today is the 14,000th professional football game that we have record of being televised in this country. To put this another way, Pat Summerall (who called 736 of those) has broadcast more than 5% of the pro football games that have ever aired.

ALSO LAST NIGHT: Dave Pasch (@DavePasch) called his 300th national NBA telecast. He's the 26th person to do that, but the seventh to reach that mark on PBP. And, I hope, the only one to do that during a season in which his partner tried to coat him in peanut butter.

Buck is 54 games from passing Jon Miller for the most national telecasts in MLB history as a play-by-play announcer. That would put him on pace to pass Miller around the 2021 All-Star Game. (He's averaged 19 games per season since this TV deal began in 2015.).

The Gator Bowl is also scheduled for ESPN at 7:30 tomorrow night. A 24-hour postponement for the Sugar Bowl would put it at 8:45. I don’t know what this postponement means for that, other than ESPN can’t show two games at the same time so there will be some kind of change.
Breaking: The CFP quarterfinal between Notre Dame and Georgia will be postponed for 24 hours, Allstate Sugar Bowl CEO Jeff Hundley announced. More details to come.

Statistic no one asked for. Tonight appears to be the 53rd time someone has hit three home runs in a game on a national MLB telecast. Seven of those were on Sunday Night Baseball.

Not on the original list of things to tweet, but happened. Bruce Arians: First NFL TV commentator to call a tie in his debut since Steve Davis, who was on the sidelines for the Eagles-Ravens tie in 1997. (First analyst to do that in the regular-season OT era [1974].).
