Scouting Combine coverage on NFL Network

cthomer5000 · 02-28-2005, 10:37 PM

Is anyone else finding this as entertaining as me?

It's made me realize what a football maniac I am. I can't believe I'm enjoying watching dudes run around cones and be interviewed.

It also makes me realize how cool a combine element would be in FOF. We'd need some way to have a first look at players, then the combine, then have the draft.

Wish I had the NFL network for these next couple of months.

What is the deal with the NFL Network? Why aren't the cable companies picking it up?

I'm watching it on Comcast cable, so obviously some cable companies are carrying it.

Some are I believe, comcast I think has atleast locally.

I've certainly enjoyed the bits I caught.

I wish Cox Cable had the NFL Network.

Also, I think one of the biggest things about owning a house that I'm looking forward to is being able to get Direct TV (this cottage setup just wouldn't work for it) so that I can get NFL Network. I am a football junkie.

Yeah, Comcast Seattle got it last fall or so. It's great. With local stations in HD (no need for antenna), I find it better than DirecTV, except no Sunday Ticket. I used to be a big DirecTV fan. I miss Sunday Ticket, but the wife doesn't mind (except when I go to the bar to catch a Pats game rather than stay at home). I had to switch 'cause I have a big ass tree in my front yard that blocks the signal from everywhere.

I watched the entire 1-hour Combine program on NFL Network (through nfl.com) on my notebook at 3:00am in the night of saturday to sunday....

I'm a football geek ;-)

I liked it...but I'm boring so take it for what it's worth.

I loved watching Matt Jones run a 4.4 and hearing the announcers nearly swallow their tounges.
