I Hate the NFL Network

My Packers are 10-1. The Cowboys are 10-1. They meet in a nationally televised Thursday night game. Two explosive offenses. Should be a total shootout. First team to 40 wins. What could be better?

Hmm, how about actually being able to see it?

The game is on the stupid NFL network. Almost no cable companies carry it. I can’t see it unless I go to a bar somewhere. Lame, lame, lame.

Normally I’d be the first to blame the cable companies, but this time I think it’s totally on the NFL. They are asking the cable companies to pay them for this network but insisting that the cable companies give it away at no additional fee. Well, duh. No wonder the cable companies balked.

So I’ll be “watching” this game on nfl.com and listening on the radio. Go Packers.
