I'll have to go to my GF's house for the last game of the season since that'll be on NFL Network.

Why should they do anything to help the NFL when the NFL has done an enormous amount of damage to their business by making Sunday Ticket exclusive to DirecTV? Haven't most of the hardcore football fans (...i.e., the people most likely to watch NFL Network) already left for DirecTV?
It would cost 2 cents per subscriber to give us nfln. How come I get the golf channel and every soccer game played but no nfln? I would be more than happy to pay $5 a month for it (a 25,000% profit). But the way they have it I would have to purchase the whole sports tier for a lot more for sports I don't want to watch. It's not the same but thank God I have sirius! Eff time warner!!!

I thought the NFL Network was asking for $.70 per subscriber, which would make it one of the ten most expensive channels in the lineup?

They say they ask 2 cents per subscriber from the provider. If they lied about that on their official site then they would be up for some major lawsuits. I blame the evil cable giants.

It costs only 2 cents per subscriber a day for cable companies to offer NFL Network, yet they want to charge you up to $10 per month for the right to watch NFL Network.

Last I checked, 2 cents PER DAY isn't far off from 70 cents PER MONTH. Not a lie but clearly an attempt to trick readers.
