A mid-April NFL quiz for you: Identify which sentences below came from a serious news story by ESPN on the NFL's upcoming schedule release, and which came from a press release promoting the league from NFL headquarters:
"Annually, the release of the NFL schedule has become almost like a national holiday."
-- Answer
"Throughout the (schedule release) show, fans can interact with the analysts and voice their opinions on the 2014 NFL schedule by posing questions via Twitter and Facebook."
-- Answer
"Starting Wednesday, teams can start printing out schedules and fans can start making their plans for the 2014 season."
-- Answer
"A three-hour special hosted by Rich Eisen and featuring analysts Steve Mariucci, Warren Sapp, and Mike Silver breaks down the entire 2014 regular season schedule, division by division, analyzing the top matchups and primetime games"
-- Answer
"Within the next year, NFL owners are expected to vote on the addition of one more playoff team per conference, allowing each conference to have seven playoff teams."
-- Answer
"Finally! NFL will release 2014 schedule on Wednesday night"
-- Answer
OK, that last one was a trick. I guess ESPN isn't the only news org totally in the bag for the league.
