Truth & Rumors > NFL

The citizens of the United States should not be sucked up into this NFL BS that is ALL about money. Having games where the general public cannot see it. They gonna hit you at every angle. Every freaking angle to try to pull you from your money and vice versa. Get your head out of your intestines! Wake up and take a stand against these high salaries not going to training camp fake freaks. They only playing football cause they freaks with large bodies or they can run fast. That's al. It's a game, keep it at that level.....

Sports franchises are so stupid. Fans want to see games. Fans will pay to see games. Just put the games where you can see them if you pay for them, but don't make it that you have to have cable AND satellite to see games.That's greedy.

And the owners suck if they want to hide money from the players. The NFL is now in worse shape than baseball. The CBA is gone and the whole salary cap thing is going to explode. Stay tuned.

Comcast Co. is the used-car salesman version of TV...they are huge shysters

lol @ greed.

We always suspected that the NFL was a bunch of w.****. Now we know for sure.

Other then the few games we miss a year( well, I dont), the NFL network is a waste. How much draft combine coverage can there be!!

Comcast is a sleazy outfit and their TV service su cks too.

Agreed.

don't know about Comcast, but I can attest to the slaezyness of Time Warner. Bet they are one in the same. as for Lord Goodell, he needs to learn from David Stern on how to expand your market, but don't listen about fixing games. you have enough trouble from players. good luck getting symphathy from the working man who pays your salery.

Comcast and Specter are two more seven-letter words that should be banned from TV.

Thats a little too much hate for me. Honestly. Citizens of the US take pride in their sports and enjoy the games for what they are. Yes, the players are overpaid and can act like babies. But I'll take that over Europe, where people kill eachother for open support of a rival Futbol team. Thats sickening. And if our heads are in our intestines, I'll gladly take that over wherever Europeans are sticking their heads during soccer bouts.

I can't comment on Comcast or cable because I have DirecTV (I gave up on cable a long time ago) and I already get the NFL Network (which I've watched for all of about 4 hours in 2 years). Other than one game that I wanted to see that I couldn't get locally anywhere else, I haven't seen anything else on there that's grabbed my attention.

However, I would like to point out that the title of this article (ONCE AGAIN) is misleading. Am I not the only person who read "Comcast offered NFL ownership" and thought that the NFL was somehow offering Comcast ownership in something, not the other way around?

Why is the NFL even talking to these sleazes? Comcast slobbers donkey nards.

So then you obviously see why Comcast and Time Warner don't want to offer the NFL Network on basic cable... because to have every one of their subscribers pay for a channel they'll never watch, one that only has content worth watching for 4 nights in a given year, and one whose season only last 4 months, is totally crazy. The NFL is just looking for more cash... and they don't need it, and Time Warner and Comcast should *never* cave in to their demands. F 'em. At least the NBA Network has several games every week, and the season is October thru June...

This article was way too long for something about nothing.

Now we know wh Arlen Specter backed off his call for investigations into Spygate

You're more than a little off base here. To say that Americans "take pride in their sports and enjoy the games for what they are" is sugarcoating the truth. I have been to enough games and seen enough diocy to refute your version...including METS' games. Here in the USA, we have lots of stuff to occupy us, baseball, football, basketball, hockey...for the most part all draw rather well. Over there, football (real football) is pretty much it. I am certainly not justifying the overboard way they support their clubs ...sometimes...but I also think that Americans behave very badly indeed. Have you ever been at a Jet game when they are losing badly, (which happens quite frequently..as a Giants' fan, I like that) and seen how these people behave? Abusing foriegners, abusing women...that's your preference?

I'm actually not off-base at all. I was being general talking about taking pride in our sports. In every major sport and in many major cities, you have idiots who get too drunk and do stupid things. There is no place for abusing opposing fans or women. I'm a Met fan, and besides the booing and occasional scuffles you get in many places, whats the problem here? Sure, real futbol is all they have. But you can't put what happens here on the same plain as MURDER. In these countries, fans kill eachother over these rivalries. They riot like madmen after losses. People DIE. If that happened here, people would insult Americans. But its apparently ok 'over there'...so is throwing bananas on the field making monkey noises in Spain when one of the opposing players is black. THAT is sickening.
