Social media reaction to this morning's NFL pregame show coverage:
SI's Richard Deitsch: "Roger Goodell should get a hold of the top of Fox NFL Sunday today. Some nice public relations for the league office. ... ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown is treating NFL fans like adults today. Kudos to @tunasweasel."
Washington Post's Neil Greenberg: "Ray Lewis lecturing on violence during @ESPNNFL. Not the way I would have gone."
Writer Shaun Powell: "It's funny because some of these ex-athletes-turned-pundits treated women horribly when they played. Horribly. … On some levels, the big sports TV networks are no different than the NFL. …. But the networks who hire them are too starstruck not to hire them."
ESPN's Trey Wingo: "I LOVE football Sundays. But on this Sunday the big story is about who's NOT playing. And thats why the NFL has to fix this...now."
Deadspin's Timothy Burke: "To keep in mind as these CBS commentators decry domestic violence: CBS paid Floyd Mayweather dozens of millions of dollars last night. … Charles Barkley defending child abuse as 'a southern tradition' and completely missing any sense of irony in that."
Writer Amy Nelson: "40 minutes of emo ex-jocks emo-ing before the first woman & mother appears on countdown ... I have never felt dumber in my entire life. But, only God can judge me so it's all good."
Pro Football Talk's account: "If ESPN Sunday NFL Countdown were Around the Horn, Tony Reali would have cut Ray Lewis' microphone five minutes ago."
Online Publishers Association CEO Jason Kint: "ESPN impressed the heck out of me with their honest and open discussion of NFL situation. No way NFL can eliminate their conflict."
Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith: "FOX should have scrapped Rob Riggle today. No one is in the mood for his buffoonery."
