Appropriate for all the blue-bloods in the self-proclaimed "elite" New England area. I hope that all of the Patriots’ games are covered exclusively by the NFL Network.

We tune in to watch the games. We pay for TONS of NFL-licensed merchandise. We're good anf loyal patrons for their business, and THIS is how they show their appreciation?! Well FUCK them! I like football, but not enough to let the assholes who run the NFL steal from my wallet. i’ve about had it with the assholes at the NFL. We tune in to watch the games.

So, am I to understand that the commissioner will simulcast a game on the NFL network if there is a chance that a record will be broken??? Records are broken and history is made in every game you idiot! The game was a great match up, and I salute the patroits for a great season. BTW:Gumble set the record for putting the most perople to sleep that night (he probably did it without steroids too) another record: least amount of replays on questionable calls. Maybe we'd rather watch gumble's red eyes???? With the Playoffs starting, the NFL network and satelite providers will be quiet for a while. I wish that there was a way to plan a "sit out on the NFL" we could hit them where it counts. Just one week! Imagine if no one showed up or watched the season opener for every team in the NFL next year. Seriously, we as fans need to make it loud and clear to these idiots that without us, there would be no NFL. We, as fans, should break a record for the Commissioner. Least attendance!!!!! Simulcast that, you idiot!

The cameramen do not even know how to focus a high def camera when they cut back and forth to shots. Not to mention the aweful job done by Collinsworth and Gumble. Is Gumble really a pro? He could put just about anyone to sleep. Chris Collinsworth is o.k. at his regular gig. But take away his color commentary it is not colorfull and shirley at least a little bit gay. He needs to study a little harder and pay closer attention what an idiot. Give us a break NFL Network as Jerry Glanville once said "N.F.L."

The Packers Cowboys game gave me a headache! Why would anyone ever subscribe to a football network that has bad announcers? As long as Bryan Gumbel is an announcer, I will never watch NFL Network.

Tonight we miss another Cowboy game because greedy bastards (Jerry Jones, et al.) want to squeeze another buck or two out of us. They want us to think the providers are the greedy ones but why would anyone pay for a subscription to watch one or two games a year? The Hell with 'em. I'll watch re-runs of "Two and a Half Men". If I was going to pay for anything concerning the NFL, it would need to go toward the hiring of professional referees. The current crop of 90 year old windbags are ruining the game.

Who cares? I'll go out with my chick for the night. I'll twiddle my thumbs. I'll read a book. If the NFL is there for free (especially teams other than the home), I'll watch. Look, the games are too expensive to go to. Redskins owner Snyder has devised every diabolical pocket-pick there is at FedEx, so we dumped the clubs and bought GenAdmission. Then those got to be too much of a gouge, we dumped those. The $50.00 parking, the buses, the $9.00 damp, smelly sponge of a hot dog, the 10 dollar beer, the IMPOSSIBLE situation with parking. Scroo em. Same with NFL on tv. I'll watch it if it's there on ESPN, if it's on a basic channel. But there may be three games of eight I want to see and the tier I get put in would cost me $150/year by the time I rent the box and buy the tier. That amounts to pay-per-view and the NFL knows it. Their greed knows no limits and I hope the House and Senate DO lift the anti-trust exemptions, the NFL is no longer entitled. I also hope the advertisers demand lower per-minute rates for the lousy viewer ship. MHO. Very simple. Who cares? I’ll go out with my chick for the night. I’ll twiddle my thumbs. I’ll read a book.

I also let them know that as long as they were sponsors of NFL Network that I would NOT be spending a dime on their products or at their stores. I stated that I know many people doing the same. I think its good to let these company's know how their affecting a lot of football fans , so send these 3 (Home Depot, Wendy's and Reebok) e-mails and maybe they will finally get the message. Tell everyone you know to do the same. Since I don't get NFL Network I am sure I have missed other sponsors. If you know other sponsors who run their ads on NFL Network would you post their names here so I can also write them.

We already pay for tickets, for stadiums through taxes, for merchandise. Now they want us to pay for broadcast access and STILL show us advertisements? Fuck them. NFL can eat shit as far as I care.
