What really needs to be addressed is the NFL NETWORK. They now have a Thursday and Saturday game..and you have to PAY TO WATCH. This is only a preview of what the NFL will be in a couple of years. I can't get the NFL Network..so I'm shut out....imagine that? An NFL fan for 30 plus years is blocked. 'Joe Sixpack' is going to be out of the loop. The NFL is so greedy it is going to lose their base.
You don't have to pay to watch the games on NFLN, you just have to have the package with your cable company (and of course the cable company has to include it in a package).
I just switched from cable to DTV and get NFL network in my programming package. (Why do I now feel compelled to brag about the size of my package?)
