2000 NFL season
The 2000 NFL season was the 81st regular season of the National Football League (NFL). The season ended with Super Bowl XXXV when the Baltimore Ravens defeated the New York Giants, 34–7, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
Week 1 of the season reverted to Labor Day weekend in 2000. It would be the last NFL season to date to start on Labor Day weekend. It would also be the last time until 2015 that CBS televised the late afternoon games in Week 1, because both Week 1 of the NFL season and CBS's coverage of the U.S. Open tennis finals would take place on the same day beginning next season.
The 2000 NFL draft was held from April 15 to 16, 2000, at New York City's Theater at Madison Square Garden. With the first pick, the Cleveland Browns selected defensive end Courtney Brown from Pennsylvania State University. Taken by the New England Patriots with the 199th pick in the sixth round was Michigan quarterback Tom Brady. Tom Brady went on to win 3 NFL MVP awards, a record 7 Super Bowl titles and 5 Super Bowl MVP awards.
Highlights of the 2000 season included:
The following teams and players set all-time NFL records during the season:
This was the third year under the league's eight-year broadcast contracts with ABC, CBS, Fox, and ESPN to televise Monday Night Football, the AFC package, the NFC package, and Sunday Night Football, respectively.
ABC fired Boomer Esiason, reportedly because he and Al Michaels never got along in the MNF booth. ABC decided to go in a radical direction by hiring comedian Dennis Miller, along with Dan Fouts, to join Michaels.
Dick Enberg joined CBS, becoming the #2 play-by-play commentator, alongside Dan Dierdorf, while Verne Lundquist returned to call college football for CBS after week 2. Also, Mike Ditka joined The NFL Today as an analyst. Daryl Johnston joined CBS as a color commentator, with Kevin Harlan starting week 6.
