The $8 is fine, whatever, big deal. Its the principle of having to buy the NFL's network to see a local game

How about if youre me, and you pay the 8 dollars a month for the sports entertainment package and the only channel excluded from that package in my area is nfl network. boooo.

Wow.

SE for me is like $5, and we get NFL Network.

From how this was explained to me on radio the other day, the NFL is just retarded in what they're asking cable providers to pay to carry their network. Their perception is that this is a premium network, when it's really something that we'll only want to watch some 5 times a year.

The most effective way to end this is simply don't do anything and let the NFL Network die (or lower their asking price) like it should.

The NFL network doesn't want this channel to be something you only want to see 5 times a year. It wants to be your total provider for NFL coverage, year-round. From what I've heard, their wrap-up show is terrific, and their showing of classic games also very desirable.

I can guarantee if I had NFL network, I'd watch it more often than I would watch all but perhaps 10 channels.
