NFL Network Can't Beat Cable Industry

Submitted by billf, Dec 6, 2007 21:03

Folks,

Even the superbowl is carried on cable in the basic package. Why then should a handfull of games fall into a "special-fee" category? Both sides should give a little back the the millions of cable connected fans who are missing part of the season. BTW, if a fan gave in and paid a premium fee, do they still get to watch commercials? Would that not be insult on injury?
