I spent my Saturday evening like every person that even pretends they like football spent it, watching the Patriots play the Giants in the game that was supposed to be historic. (Actually I have no idea how the game turns out; I'm writing this at halftime.)
Before the game the commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell, said how he was happy that every football fan could watch for this pursuit of history. Yeah right. The entire broadcast has been one big advertisement for the NFL Network. Its pathetic! There was a montage at halftime of the history of the NFL Network. Every commercial break there have been commercials for the NFL network. Seriously, I'm glad I can watch this game, but Roger, don't pretend that you are being benevolent to fans when you really are begging for more money in your pocket.
Roger Goodell Being Benevolent? Riiight.

Heh. How true. They're also running ads slagging the cable companies. Plus we have to listen to the very irritating Bryant Gumbel.

The NFL networks dirty little secret, their game coverage sucks. Chris is sometimes ok, but Bryant is the pits.
The networks big hope as been to get football fans to demand their cable company carry the NFL channel for free.
After seeing Saturday nights terrible overall coverage - camera angles, announcers, and analysts, Fans should ask the NFL to pay them to watch their crappy coverage.
