Default NFL Network will NOT go dark tonight at midnight on Comcast

According to the link below the NFL-N will still be available on Comcast as the sides have had a "breakthrough" in negotiations.

It's amazing how dollar signs can break through just about anything.

It'd be nice if they could have a "breakthrough" with Time Warner.

This seems to be standard operating procedure in negotiations for Comcast and Time Warner, waiting till the 11th hour to work out a deal - whether it be with the NFL Network or local over-the-air stations.

I say if the could break up the old AT&T twenty five years ago, then why not break up the new AT&T, aka Comcast.

Hopefully, NFLN took a long look at insolvency and smartened up enough to accept being put on a pay tier.

I'm thinking that could very well be what happened.

IMO, NFLN needs Comcast a lot more than Comcast needs NFLN.

You're right.

Funny thing, I was so prepared to lose NFLN, I may just drop it now anyway.

I can get it back if the Pats play a game on NFLN next fall, but I've had about all of Jamie Dukes I can stand for a while.

Whatever happened to Adam Shefter? He and Eisen were the guy I liked best. And TD and Woodson and long-gone Lincoln Kennedy.

Shefter apparently is done at NFLN and is going to ESPN, but I guess the latter isn't official.

There ought to be a class-action suit against comcast & NFLN for wasting everyone's time on this matter for the past two months. And another against NFLN for Jamie Dukes.

So, this worked out great. Comcast sent out a letter offering me (I assume everyone else as well) 6 free on demand movies or a free pay-per-view event for any inconvenience the NFLN scuffle might cause. I took the free movies, and now I don't lose NFLN... win-win

I was sooooo prepared to lose it, and thank God that I've still got it. I'm not ready to live in a world where ESPN is my only option for televised football coverage--the idea they consider people like Cris Carter and Emmitt Smith an expert is abhorrent to me.
