NFL Nework and Comcast

If you have Comcast and you have the NFL Network on your subscription tier, say a little prayer tonight. At 11:59 Eastern Time tonight, Comcast will pull the plug on the NFL Network.

The NFL’s demands on Comcast to make the NFL Network a Channel For The People while maintaining an exclusive relationship with DirecTV for out-of-market games could not be more hypocritical. And with the buzz surrounding the MLB network since it went live in January, the NFL would be hard-pressed to appear more greedy. And I don’t mean High Ticket Prices Greedy, because I get that. I’m talking We’re Gonna Squeeze Every Goddamn Dollar Out Of You That We Can Instead Of Working Toward A Mutually Beneficial Middle Ground Greedy. Even prostitutes are capable of negotiating reasonable terms. But I guess this is why the NFL decided on a commissioner that’s too cheap to even buy an entire suit.

KFed hasn't watched the NFL Network in a long time.
