Hopefully this is the start of the end of the NFL Network/Cable TV debacle.

So glad I paid the big bucks for the NFL channel.

Exactly. This situation needs to get resolved and people are right to be pissed on every level. People pay for the NFL Network and now those that don't get to watch the game too.
There needs to be a solution here b/c this is just a gathering sh!t storm that will only get worse. Hopefully this cave by the NFL starts to gather the needed momentum to get it resolved.Comment

NBC and CBS? Wow, when the local senator mentions anti-trust exemption, stubbornness subsides quickly doesn't it..."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

right! the solution needs to be NO games on nfl channel. huge portions of the country miss these games and it's stupid for the nfl to do this. i couldn't believe monday night football (and thursday night for that matter) ended up on espn for the same reason. i've got directv and i don't miss a single thing but not everyone can say that.Originally posted by esoxx

If there were no games on the NFL channel, how would fans, like me, watch the Packer games here on the east coast?
What I've had a hard time understanding is..........when the Packers are on Fox, or CBS on Sunday, then the game is not on the NFL channel.......in this area. Yet, the Patriots are on both channels each Sunday. Is this a glitch?Comment

They'd watch them by Sunday Ticket...and yes, that sounds like a glitch cuz I can't get Redskins here and if I'm watching the Packer game and the local station cuts to the game, I have to change channels (or at least I did last season--I haven't seen it happen this season so maybe they changed it for tivo.)"Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment

The Patriots are the marquee matchup, so they gety national exposure whenever they play. Usually the 3 pm games are the national telecasts.Originally posted by packinpatlandAlways respect your opponent, even when you're kicking the crap outta him.Comment

If it is so easy to get DirecTV, then why are people whining?Originally posted by gbgary
People will spend $100 a week to fill up their monstrous SUV with gas...but aren't willing to pay LESS to switch over to satellite when they offer crazy good deals to come aboard?
People just like to whine...and they deserve to have games taken away from them.My signature has NUDITY in it...whatcha gonna do?Comment

I'm confused.
Why exactly are we entitled to watch a football game? Does the NFL really owe me anything? If I got sick of them today and stopped watching football altogether, would I owe them something?Originally posted by 3irty1Comment

The NFL is the big winner here - make no mistake about it. Millions to sell the rights to the two networks, hundreds of millions in ad dollars.Originally posted by FritzDontBlitz
Not to mention the fact that now they actually look like the "good guys." Just for taking millions and millions of dollars in exchange for "letting" us fans see the game.Comment

Not really. With one move, the NFL just about destroyed their bargaining position with the cable companies. Cable compaines will be strengthend in their stance by the fact that the NFL caved.Originally posted by FavreChildComment

No way.
The NFL can say, "See? We compromised. Now it's YOUR turn."
Nothing will change. The NFL has not "caved" in the least. Very smart move on their part.Comment
