Why did the NFL decide to broadcast very good football games on the NFL network?

Seriously? It pisses me off that the cowboys-packers games, which was the most important regular game of the season besides the colts-pats, was aired on a small network as opposed to a huge one like ABC or CBS or whatever. In addition, if the pats go undefeated, guess where is the only place you can watch that historic last regular season game?

Seriously, I think the NFL stopped caring about the fans. Why do they broadcast games on NFL network now?

The root cause is a dispute between the NFL and cable providers. The NFL wants their channel to be part of basic cable, the cable companies want to add it as a premium channel. At some point one of them will break down, but expect it to cost you the fan extra $ each month no matter which way it goes.

Either way it's costing fans, many of whom are missing out on some of the best games of the year. My girlfriend actually gets the NFL network on her dish, but I don't bother watching because the announcers are so horrible.

Money and the fact they are asses as if they don't get enough money already....but i am so happy my team won that game...way to go to the dallas cowboys Report It


Money..
money is right, but not from the n.f.l. they wanted the cable companies to put the n.f.l network on basic cable, but the greedy cable companies wanted to add it the premium package, that's why its on basic satellite t.v. and not on cable, this is a fact,
FOR PROFIT THEY STARTED THEIR OWN STATION SO THEY COULD CHARGE CABLE COMPANIES TO ADD THEM TO THEIR PAYED NETWORKS
Do you think NFL care for fans? it's wrong mate. It is all about money. Some people on yahoo community show us how to watch the game free on the Internet.
one word... GREED .. they want the advertizing dollars, and they want the fans to pay for the NFL network... sadly, many of us, cannot get the NFL network, even if we were willing to pay for it.. our cable providers don't carry it.
to force the cable companies to put nfl network in the basic package so the customer does not have to pay more for the nfl network like they currently do
THE NFL NETWORK sucks it pissed me off last year ,when its first game was Den - KC an important game at the time,not many people have the NFL network ,my cable co. doesnt even offer it. i thought it was BS when monday night football went to espn ,even though i have espn ,i think they should keep all NFL games on free T.V.
You've got it. The NFL does not care about you one bit. It cares about your wallet. This was a brazen attempt to get into your wallet. All the talk about how important the fans are is pure BS. Note to Cowboy fans: Jerry Jones will sell you out in a heartbeat. Beware.
Money...money...money!!!
The schedule was made before the season started. They had no idea that the Cowboys-Packers game would be as big as it was. They also had no idea that the Pats might be making history in week 17.
Money, money ... and money.
i hear that should've been either espn or abc sports special i was lucky enough to have nfl network ..
