THE NFL NETWORK SUCKS!!!!

09:10 PM ET  11.09 |    Thursday night I was sitting in my room watching the Maryland vs Virginia Tech game when I noticed the ticker at the bottom of the screen showed "Denver vs Cleveland". The score was 0-0, so I assumed it was the Nuggets against the Cavs since it was Thursday night. Then I saw it showed what down it was, and I realized it was the Browns vs Broncos. I turned it to NBC, but saw it wasn't on. I checked all the other major networks to no avail. I couldn't figure out what was going on until I was talking about it with some of my friends the next day. Somebody said it was on the NFL Network, and it made me really mad.

    Why does the NFL have to have a network that basic cable can't get? The Jets and the Pats play Thursday, and guess what channel it's on. This is a game that I REALLY want to see, but looks like a no go for me. Guess I'll just see the highlights on SportsCenter the next morning.

    I say that the NFL needs to make some changes to the NFL Network. Cut out the Thursday games, move them to ESPN or NBC, and just make one or two games every Sunday come on NFL Network. This solution really isn't good, but there's no way you can just say "Get rid of the NFL Network". Allow viewers to still see some games on Sunday, but just take away one or two. This still lets everyone have the Monday Night and now Thursday Night games.

They could at least show the game via multi-cast.

Yes, if you don't mind them constantly cutting to three talking heads in a studio.. even when the game is going on. 3 pontificating idiots, not even really talking about the actual game itself. It was the most frustrating experience in the viewing of sports. You're better off streaming a local radio station in your team's market than being stuck listening to three clowns talking over the game, not letting you watch the game, because the idiots need camera time.

The gradual move towards all NFL games becoming pay-per-view or pay for the NFL network...
Already having an issue with the money being thrown around for a game that provides nothing more than a diversion, that will be the end of my interest.
Unfortunately, college football is heading the same way.

NFL network costs $5 a month, open your wallet and quit whining.

NFL Network requires cable providers to have it on their basic cable package and the cable companies refuse to put it on basic but wanted to have it on their sports tier (I worked for a major cable company) Now us fans are left out not being able to watch these games. I am attempting to watch it at NFL.com but it keeps freezing up (too many people trying to watch it) and they keep cutting away from the game to the three talking heads! WHAT A JOKE!!! Doesn't the NFL have enough money already????

The biggest problem is they can't get their streaming right. Someone tell NFL network to call me and we can get at least the video/audio stream squared away...cclaudio@winxnet.com
