So, I take it, the NFL channel is not going to be like the NBA channel. On the NBA channel if you wish to watch a game, you pay $169 for a "league pass", and then the local games are blacked out anyway.
Well, according to the above, they are only talking about keeping around 10 games for the NFL channel. (The handfull of Thurs and Saturday games). Currently, NFL Network is part of a Comcast premium package that includes "Encore" and some other niche channels. Right now it is pretty much like ESPN for NFL football only with some old "NFL Films" shows thrown in as filler. If you are a football nut (like me) its pretty good - easily the best NFL coverage out there. It's HD also, for you HD fans out there.
