NFL NETWORK TO GO INSIDE NFL ANNUAL MEETING One of the main goals of NFL Network is to bring fans closer to all facets of the NFL. The mission breaks more new ground next week by taking viewers for an unprecedented look inside the 2004 NFL Annual Meeting in Palm Beach, Florida. Beginning Monday, March 29, NFL Network’s signature show, NFL Total Access shutters the studio in Los Angeles, as host Rich Eisen and crew setup on-site in Palm Beach to gain access to NFL owners, head coaches, team presidents and league executives. Not only will the guests on NFLTA be a “Who’s Who” of the NFL all week, but fans will go inside the actual meetings, including footage of Commissioner Paul Tagliabue delivering his annual report on the state of the league, discussions on renewing the instant replay system currently in effect, and the vote on whether to continue instant replay. Additionally, on Monday, March 29 at approximately 1:00 PM ET, NFL Network will televise the Commissioner’s press conference live, where it is expected the 2004 Kickoff Weekend key game matchups will be announced.
