June post! I'm stealing this idea directly from 97.5 the Fanatic, who asked via Twitter to rank the intro music for all the TV networks that carry NFL games.
NFL Intro music. Rank em! Fox. Nbc. Cbs. Espn.

Come on, 97.5. What about NFL Network? We'll add them to the list.
1) FOX - I listened to them all, and the FOX intro got me fired up more than any of the others, although there's probably a built in bias there, as I care infinitely more about the NFC than the AFC.
2) CBS - I think I like their intro a little more than FOX's, but it just doesn't do much to get me fired up the same way the familiarity of FOX's does.
3) NFL Network - This one could be the best with more repetition, but NFL Network's Thursday games are easily forgotten. I love the bells at the beginning that are reminiscent of the old NFL Films music.
4) ESPN - Too mellow.
5) NBC - NBC uses their song above coming in and out of commercial breaks, but their real intro is that foofy Carrie Underwood song that does absolutely nothing for me.
