Its been long and thankfully the Packers play tomorrow night to break up the long wait.

How prevalent is the NFL Network in Iowa?

Big article in today's Tribune regarding the fight between Comcast and the NFL Network regarding basic cable. Very similar stance on both sides to the Big Ten Network vs. Comcast. You have to admit, the NFL Network totally lucked out by having exclusivity to such a huge game.

And you're right Trump, this week has been fun. Moronic at times, but fun.

Ive enjoyed it actually. Opposing fans to banter with. Rarely do we actually get those, and when we do its usually like one guy.

That's right Joe, you guys better show us some respect or we just might take over your board!

You guys actually have a board! A lot of our opponents don't or if they do the places are empty. This is a nice change!

Its only prevalent at the homes who have a dish which still isn't many. I'll be at jegbomb's watching the game.

Go ahead. This is just a fake...our real aim is to take over the State of Delaware and then illegally sell the 1/2 electoral vote to Hillary Clinton to create a false sense of security.

CFU offers NFL Network, but not as a "basic" channel.

NFL Network has been VERY slow on the uptake. Kansas City doesn't have it at ALL, for instance!

I think they shoot themselves in the foot with these exclusive games, allowing local affiliates to pick them up in markets without NFL Network.

Interesting. The figures I read today were somewhere around 43 million total NFL Network subscribers. The total figure for ESPN was around 90 million, and I would've guessed the NFL Network would've been much lower in comparison.

That's MUCH higher than I expected.

I actually like the NFL network. They run a nice college football show (hosted by KWWL's own Paul Burmeister) and do some good features. The "Rewind" shows (like Panther Plus) during the week are pretty cool as well.

Re: Anyone else utterly and completely...

I saw alot of debates on TV over the past few days about whether the game on thursday should be on NFL network or not. I can somewhat see both sides of the spectrum, but I am firmly on the side of the veiwer. It pisses me off when i hear people talking about how seeing these NFL games is a privilage, and not a right. Well, when they have been showing NFL games on local TV stations for the last 50 years, it is hard for people to adjust to paying so to see their team play. Its bad enough that it costs a small fortune to go to an NFL game but now you have to pay more money to sit on your couch?

it wouldn't be so bad if people (on both sides) didn't hijack just about EVERY thread and turn it into a smack thread.

Has anything like this happened on PN before? Not in my time here anyway. I'm guessing something similar would've taken place during the lead-up to the Montana game everyone talks about, but wasn't that prior to the message board concept taking off?
