    ok, so i turned it on at 3 minutes left in first half... and...

    first off, who the hell is the main guy? Collingsworth owns but this other dude, horrible, he can NOT do live games sitting in the helm, hes horrible, in 10 minutes of live TV i heard at least EIGHT or MORE verbal slip ups, not including him talking not knowing he wasnt off the air.

    then, halftime with Rich, Dean, Much, and Faulk, was just as funny,

    i think iheard another 5-7 verbal slips in 5 minutes,

    "denver didnt get the ball past half court..." what is this Duke and UNC bball?

    Dion slipped up like 2x on Jake Plummers name, lol

    not raggin really, just found it funny, was the WHOLE game like this??????? anyone else have an opinion.....

    while those glitches are true, collingsworth was the worst because he thinks he is madden, king of the OBV.

    ok they all sucked but we cant be telling ourselves collingsworth OWNS.

    This was to be expected though for a first game. I am sure they will work some kinks out. Just like a player it felt like the game moved faster than when they were practicing it.

    (We have a p5er who is a producer for nfl network so lets give them a break.I guess i'll ask him if he had anything to do with it haha.)

    well if they could get the standards up to their pregame and postgame shows (the in studio version) they would kick ass. its the best pregame on tv. i doubt the game standards will be allowed to suck for too long. they seem to really work hard on listening to the fans there.

    ok, tell them to fucking concentrate on getting the goddamn station on my $60/month cable bill. if they can't do that, fuck that, keep the games on CBS/ABC/FOX/ESPN.

    actually, they are sueing some cable companies to get on them. i dont have all the details but they are trying.

    move to denver, it comes with digital cable. wait, no, dont move here. just move where comcast offers it.

    espn radio reported earlier in the week that the NFL Network was asking cable companies for 70 cents per subscriber in order to carry them, which would apparently put them among the top 5 most costly networks to carry

    they can go F themselves

    Networks like this and the ESPN U and the other one that held college football fans hostage for games this year are TERRIBLE for the game. They buy up rights for the game and then blackmail fans into calling cable networks to get them to carry their "new channel" just so you can see your team play because there is no other way. I know this happened at least once to Mich, OSU, and ND fans this year. Greedy fucks.
