Rating the NFL Network

maximus · 03-01-2005, 12:20 PM

I have DirectTV and the NFL Network comes as part of their basic programming package - not sure if it comes with any other TV source. I must say, since it has been on the air (for about 2 years now) I love their coverage, specials, news & events. I would rate their network about an 8.5 out of 10 so far. Just wondering for those of you who have the NFL Network what do you think of it and how would you rate it on a scale of 1-10 (1 being the worst and 10 being great).

NFL Network combined with Comcast On Demand is great. Not only do you get the normal NFL Network content, but you get 10-15 minute recaps of every game through the On Demand service.

It's pretty good... but it could be better.

So Comcast does carry the NFL Network. Thats cool. For a while there I thought it was a DirectTV exclusive.

i like watching total access after sportscenter, although if the wife wants some time together its reruns of csi on spike. I do tend to flip to fox soccer channel to get the headlines of the day from there.

I like Total Access because the football info is not watered down with info about sports I don't care about.

Too much Rich Eisen, not enough old NFL Films stuff.

Yea, that was one of the things I liked about it as well.

In Spain we don't have access to the NFL network on TV, but can i watch the games online and/or download them like mlb.com offers?

it's better than I expected it to be, especially since Ken Norton Jr seems to be gone

LOL! In fact I think it was when the Network first appeared you and I disliked how Ken Norton was on it. I'll try to find the link.

Even if you don't have NFL Network, the On Demand game replays are free.

The only time I've been compelled to watch it is during the exhibition season. In fact, I had no clue they run fresh material. I figured it was just old games and stuff.
