Reason #1834 I hate the NFL Network: it ruined Saturday NFL football. Remember how there used to always be two or three Saturday December games, with most of them usually being on in the day? It was an awesome novelty and almost like an extra Christmas present. Then the NFL lopped the head off of that to give these stupid Saturday Night games more of an exclusive feel.

I blame the cable network, in my case Time Warner.

I mean they are just standing on principal. Its not like they are not going to make huge money off of it.

Actually, the NFL is charging a ridiculous amount for the Network even though it's a niche channel outside of the 7 or so games it plays every year. Personally, I'd blame them more than the cable companies.

But that's kinda beside the point of my complaint though. The NFL reworked the Saturday scheduling to try to get as many people as possible to watch the NFL Network games. It sucks, because I always enjoyed having a full weekend of pro football, especially on the weekend on/before Christmas.

i heard that the tvu player on the danish chanell carries all of the nfl network games. just what i heard man its worth checking out

but come on time warner can afford to get it. And they know it would be instantly a top 5 channel on there company

the same goes with the big ten network

this is why i need a mofo direct tv but my dad thinks its more expensive but in reality its cheaper.

i dont know why but ive never been a fan of saturday or friday night nfl, maybe its b/c im travelling or slightly burnt out by football and may even miss a game or 2 of my team.

as for saturday's game, i'll probably miss it :cry:

im travelling to indiana (we'll stop in st. louis for the night) so the only way i'll get the game is if i take my sirius radio which i'll probably do but im unsure if it'll hook up in my parents car.

lol i heard something like that too.

Earlier in the game there was a false start penalty on the Rams and even though the refs were gesturing that it was a false start, Gumbel being the smart guy that he is decided to say it was a delay of game. Even after the official call was that it was a false start, he continued to question how they could get a delay of game.

Tony Romo. Very average player without Terrell Owens. TO = king of making decent players look much better than they are.

I feel bad laughing at you though because its not right to laugh at the mentally challenged. But in this case I just can't help it because you throw yourself out there.
