The NFL will release its full 2012 schedule beginning at 7 p.m. ET. ESPN will have a three-hour special until 10 p.m. to cover the event. 

The league will pull the sheet off the proverbial Rocky statue at 7:00 p.m. ET.  Inevitably, some games will leak before them, if/when individual teams get their hands on the document.
