NFL Network unwatchable

Class, manners and proper upbringing.

The Kitten Bowl has been purrfect up to this point, though I expect the Wildcats to start to run wild.

Is the csnne pregame blacked out?

Was at the golf range for a good 3 hours today. Beats watching these bozos do pregame.

Don't forget that regardless of how we feel, there is a sort of "bro code" among QBs. Brady and Manning, for example, are apparently good friends off the field.

I've found NFLN to be much better than NBC.

At least NFLN is actually discussing football. As soon as I changed over to NBC, it was a matter of seconds before they brought up deflategate. Pathetic.

All but one (Mariucci) so far on NFLN has picked Seattle. Jerks.

I love it when they do this, one last second disrespect card BB can play in his pregame speech.

Was wondering the same thing.

Guess so.

I cannot watch any of the pregame nonsense and have not done so since cameragate. It's all so contrived for ratings and internet clicks. I'm convinced that a lot of what the talking heads say is some what scripted and produced. No way the talking head former players are not told to pick sides and argue the counter points for ratings. It's all a witch hunt farce to me. The he77 with em all.

No, but then you have to listen to Felger.

Yeah, but one douche out of 4 is better than 3 out of 4.

Well that's absolutely the way it is. They aren't really themself on these shows, they are characters. That's why some of them are so annoying, because that's the role they are supposed to play. They have a script that they are supposed to follow. They know that they will get more viewers if they have these characters than they would if they only spoke about Xs and Os and really got deep into tactics, so this is what we get. I almost never watch these shows because they aren't about discussing football, they are about entertainment, so I might as well watch a regular tv series as they give you as much football knowledge(none) but are much more entertainment.
