Some highlights of NBC's moves in its schedule for next season.

WHAT'S NEW: A lot. The long-struggling network invested heavily in new programming, and has ordered 17 new series for next season. John Malkovich as Blackbeard. James Spader as a wanted fugitive. Dracula brought to life. A cops drama from the guy who made "Law & Order." More supernatural stuff from J.J. Abrams. A cooking show. A quiz show. A home renovation show. If a couple of these make an impression on viewers, NBC will be thrilled.

WHAT'S GONE: The newsmagazine "Rock Center," in a move sure to cause bad blood between NBC's news and entertainment divisions. Matthew Perry's star vehicle "Go On," failing to recreate that "Friends" magic. And about two dozen other sitcoms you never watched.

LIFE SUPPORT: The serial killer drama "Hannibal" has terrible ratings, but NBC had such high hopes for it this spring that executives can't bear to pull the plug. Maybe it's their livers on the line.

STAR POWER: Michael J. Fox is a beloved sitcom actor, respected even more for his dignity in handling Parkinson's Disease. Now he's essentially turning those real-life experiences into a sitcom, where he will play a sportscaster going back to work. Interestingly, NBC gave Sean Hayes a more prominent spot on a Thursday night schedule geared to broad-appeal comedies, perhaps so Fox won't feel the pressure to save the network. And Seth Meyers is moving from his "Weekend Update" desk to his own late night show.

WHAT THEY NEED: Somebody to save the network.

BIG MOVE: "Revolution" to Wednesday nights, where it will no longer have the advantage of a big audience tuning in for "The Voice." ''Chicago Fire" moves to Tuesday. Moving successful shows to new nights is always risky, perhaps even more so for programs at an early stage in their development.

On his way out?

AP

Earlier today, we noticed a stream of tweets from writers covering the open portion of Monday?s first OTA practice for the Eagles under coach Chip Kelly.? Many were pointing out the music blaring while the players put in work.

The folks at CrossingBroad.com have listed the entire 24-tune soundtrack, giving the zealous Eagles fans the recipe for the ultimate iPod playlist.

From AC/DC?s Thunderstruck to Van Halen?s Panama to Duran Duran?s Hungry Like The Wolf to 2Pac?s California Love to Haddaway?s What Is Love? to the current Icona Pop hit I Love It, there?s an apparent method to Kelly?s evident madness.

?There?s a lot of science behind it but I?ve got 12 minutes left in this thing so I can?t really get into the details of it but there?s some science behind it,? Kelly told reporters after practice.? ?We?ve used it for a while.?

Kelly said that his penchant for up-tempo practices started long ago, at the lower levels of college football.

?It started when we were at New Hampshire and then as I moved to Oregon, it was a little different when I was a coordinator and then changed a little bit more when I became the head coach,? Kelly said.? ?We want to be efficient in our time, we don?t want to be on the field for a long time, want to maximize the time we?re on the field, and obviously you see us go from tempo periods to teach periods, there?s a rhyme or reason to what we?re doing, time on task versus time teaching, and I think there?s a good balance of that.? We want to get them in and get them out.? But we also have to get a certain amount of work in.?

But it?s not non-stop action.? Kelly explained that the goal is to simulate real football.

?Obviously we know we can?t practice full speed for the entire time we?re out there, so it?s got to be short bursts, but the game of football is short bursts,? Kelly said.? ?It?s really an anaerobic sport when you look at it, because you?re going hard for five to six seconds and then you?re taking a break, and that?s what we?re trying to get accomplished with these guys.?

Through it all, the music will be playing.? It?s a phenomenon that is spreading through the NFL, and if/when teams like the Jaguars and Eagles have success with it, it will spread even more.
