Cannot figure out if there are more or less matches getting televised on the US Giant over here. " Up to 74 matches the next three seasons " " Last season, ESPN televised 46 Premier League matches " Does that mean 74 per season, or 74 total 25 per season?

Anyway, the Sports Giant over here in the states will have matches for the next 3 seasons which is a good thing. If We can Get LD on the team Everton may get more television time.

Think it means per season, but by saying "up to" 74 matches the next three seasons, it does not neccessarily mean there WILL be 74.

Don't know but they only showed the "lunchtime" matches over in England meaning 6:30am CDT here. If Everton was on, I was watching.

But I think Everton were only shown on ESPN over here maybe a grand total of two times. Most of the time, it was FSC or FSC+.

You think if Landon was on the team Everton would be on ESPN more? I think they would be.

John Skipper, VP of ESPN was World Football Daily the other day and he said categorically they would be showing more games this year than last year, including FA cup games.

That's right. There are scheduling issues in the fall with college football coming on at noon eastern on both ESPN and ESPN 2. Less so after December though.
