INSIDE THE NFL
Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET
The actual season premiere of this series was last week’s preview episode, setting up the season, but I consider tonight’s assembled-on-deadline program the actual season premiere of Inside the NFL, when the studio team works its way through the week’s issues, the biggest games, and, as always, the unsurpassed footage from the NFL Films crews. And no, I’m not expecting a lot of highlights footage of the Miami Dolphins. Not this week. And realistically, not this year. Sigh.
