Do you get the NFL Network?

FBPro · 12-06-2003, 08:37 AM

I'm just curious how many of us get the NFL Network.

maximus · 12-06-2003, 08:43 AM

Direct TV here......I do and I love it.

Draft Dodger · 12-06-2003, 08:56 AM

have it.

Ken Norton Jr is HORRIBLE.

I don't have it. I don't have DirecTV and Comcast says that they have no plans to pick it up either. What exactly is it? Do they have various "ESPN-Clone" type programs (NFL Matchup, NFL Live, etc). Or do they keep on playing "NFL Films" stuff all day long.

For me, give me a network that shows the old NFL games (100% footage, not a highlight show) and you'll have me hooked. I think that you could even charge extra for it (maybe $5 a month or something). I have no idea why the NFL is so anal about this stuff.

I love the 'It is good to be Rich' commercials. Classic.

FBPro · 12-06-2003, 11:16 AM

It's a sorta mix between the two(though not w/ entire games being broadcast). Some highlight shows, playbook and some NFL films stuff old and new. It's not the greatest format but hey it's football 24/7.

Seth Joyner seems like he could be decent...if he didn't have Norton interrupting him all the time and driving Joyner up the freaking wall. I swear, the few times I've seen them, it looked like Joyner was using every ounce of restraint in his body to keep from kicking the crap out of Norton.

Norton would beat him senseless.

Anyone who played for Buddy Ryan could kick ANYONE's ass who played for Bill Walsh/George Seifert (what the hell ever happened to him anyway?, he should be in line for a job soon).

And that includes Tony Zendahas (sp)

I had been wondering what had happened to Sterling Sharpe from ESPN earlier this year, now i know. Kinda wierd to give up a gig at ESPN to go do a show on the NFL network though in my opinion.

He was canned from ESPN, wasn't he?

I know I'm going to feel stupid when I hear the answer, but what's the song that is playing during those commercials? It's been driving me crazy...

The_herd · 12-06-2003, 05:08 PM

I get it with DirectTV and watch it about as often as I watch the NBA network, which isn't often.

Don't you mean Luis?

I get the network, though so far everything seems to run together. It's interesting how commercials can actually serve to delineate programming...
