For over a decade-and-a-half NFL RedZone has been a go-to for diehard football and fantasy football fans that are obsessed with the game, and now it's latest move to ESPN opens up a window of opportunity for other sports, according to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

The league commissioner alluded to the idea that ESPN could explore the opportunity of introducing other RedZone-like programs for sports like college football and college basketball once the deal officially goes through in 2026.

Scott Hansen has become a mainstay in households across America since NFL RedZone started, which shows every touchdown and scoring play from every game during the 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. slots on Sundays.
