I think this is cause the NFL wanted the cable companies to carry the NFL Network on regular basic service since its only available on a Sports Tier. Personally I would love to get the NFL Network in the basic service since I have digital cable. So I would have to side with the NFL Network on this one. We don't want to pay extra just to get one network to watch the games.

I disagree with that. I don't want to pay extra for a channel I'm going to care about exactly 17 times a year.

I love the sport of american football, but to unfairly put this channel on basic cable at the rate they are asking is just lunacy. If I didn't care for the NFL at all, I wouldn't want my cable bill to go up because of this channel.
I don't care for the NFL when the season is over. I have plenty of other sports to keep me occupied during the offseason (NHL, NBA, College Hoops, MLB, EPL/FA Cup/Champions League). Why should I want to pay extra if I don't care for the NFL for half the year? Besides the exclusive games, what compelling program does the NFL network provide that would make me demand for it? Currently, none.
It's better as part of a sports package.

God, Gumble is terrible. His voice just annoys me.

On a more personal note, Collinsworth is such a fucking Packer hater that it makes me want to puke - so that definitely adds to my distaste for him.
double blow... collinsworth is a sucky commentator as seen by him and gumble arguing throughout the giants-pats game... but he's a Gator so he'll always be a stud in my book..
and pakers.. collinsworth is a wise man...
there is not one thing i like about the packers, their colors, their stadium, the fact that its cold there, mr. fav-ra, the fact that its ownership is by the people, lombardi... the retarded lambeau leap..
i loved it years ago when sapp and sherman got into heated words about a hit on mr. fav-re... oh, it was classic.... and let the jury know.. it was a legal hit
edit: i couldnt find it on youtube.. bummer..

b/c they just have to be different... and also b/c i was trying to think of GB facts... no real reason...
i could also say i dont like them b/c they win but then all teams do that (or at least try) so that wouldnt hold up too well either..
