My "Negative Comments" Email to the NFL

Subject: Negative Comments (this is in the drop down menu on NFL.com)

I recently was able to watch a game on the NFL Network (Packers/Cowboys), and after having to watch/listen to Bryant Gumbel, Chris Collinsworth, and Deon Sanders for 3 hours, I am glad that my cable provider does not offer the NFL Network because I would not watch games due to the poor quality of the people listed above. Shape up and get some actual people that are interesting, understand the sport, and know the names of the players and coaches, and maybe I will fill out your "I want the NFL Network" email. I sure don't want it in its current form.
And another thing, go back and watch the officials in that Packers/Cowboys game and start holding them accountable for their poor performance (i.e. Owens fumble, pass interference call on Tramon Williams, offensive pass interference not called on Witten or Owens, and lack of 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct calls on the Cowboys for taunting, just to name a few).
Thanks,

Packers - Vikings Game (12/21/06)


As you guys are all aware, the Packers-vs-Vikings game on December 21st is set to air on the NFL network, however because of contract disputes between the NFL and the various major cable providers, only a handful of markets have the NFL network available in their cable service. The biggest concern I have heard though is about this game not being available to all markets within the states or regions a team contains a fan base for. According to Bob Wolfley's SportsDay column in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel on November 23, 2006 titled, Bad News for some Packers fans, he informs readers that the Madison market will not get to view this Packer Game on any over-the-air stations, unless a viewer has a satellite package containing the NFL Network, because Madison is not considered a home market for the Green Bay Packers with the NFL. So for Rotz & Tim's sake, I hope you guys have a way to watch this upcoming Packer game! This sounds like some bad planning by the new NFL commissioner.
