I've said it before, but Cliff Drysdale has not lost a step at all. Tonight was his final broadcast at age 84 and there was no discernible difference between him today and 20 years ago. We're used to announcers losing a little even just in vocal quality, but none of that.

Or to put it in literally the exact words from the announcement by ESPN and the NFL last month: "[The NFL] will also continue to own, operate, and produce NFL RedZone, and retain the rights to distribute NFL RedZone digitally.".

Probably pointless to even further address this, but to be clear -- ESPN is not acquiring RedZone. It is acquiring NFL Network, and it is acquiring the *name* RedZone, but the actual show with Scott Hanson, etc., will continue to be owned by the NFL.

Updated with some more details from the NFL -- ads will be in the same format as last year, with double-box featuring an ad at full volume next to muted gameplay.
NFL RedZone will have commercials going forward, according to host Scott Hanson:

Others have pointed it out, but Disney/ESPN has literally *nothing* to do with RedZone having ads. It's a bit amazing to see so many prominent accounts pinning this on ESPN, when its deal for NFL Media 1) is months from being approved and 2) does not grant it control of RedZone.

After going on two decades with "commercial free" as a core part of its branding, NFL RedZone is moving forward with ads starting this season.
