100% NFL Network coverage

[everlong]

For the first time I made the jump and didn't bother to click to ESPN even during commercials. In listening to ESPN radio this morning on the drive in and reading threads, on general NFL boards too, about how bad the coverage was and all of the post draft grades by the likes of Clayton (Pats and Giants losers) and Kyper (Pats C+).

Even if you have to pay for NFL Network it's so worth it. Mayotte and crew were very impressive. Jamie Dukes who's the weak link still isn't half as bad as almost all the ESPN guys.

They had a debate at one point about the Pats drafting a QB in round 3. Not everybody agreed with it which is fine because at least they had thought out reasons for why and not the normal ESPN hype reasons.

Love hearing Bill and Scott boycotted ESPN and I'm glad I did too.

I thought the NFL networks coverage was better than ESPN, however I thought ESPN's graphics and sidebars with Player/Team notes and all that was WAY better than the NFL Networks.

I just went to ESPN in commercials, it was difficult to watch especially with all those assenine fans comments.

Yea, for those who have HD you got to see a lot more information on the players. Though the ESPN commentators get worse every year. Kiper needs to retire and Keyshawn is just a joke in there. Berman's the only one worth listening to and he cut out early.

I also did not watch on ESPN. Never changed from the NFL network and used NFL.com's draft tracker instead. F ESPN.

I began my boycott of that channel almost a year ago and refuse to watch it. NFL network's coverage was great and Mayott (sp?) was unreal!

I don't even have NFL Network any more thanks to Comcast & I know his name is Mike Mayock!

 

[BradyFTW!]

Mike Mayock alone made NFLN better. Everything else was just a bonus.

This was the first year I've had NFL Network, and I thoroughly enjoyed the draft coverage. I switched to ESPN during commercials, but always switched back. I found some NFL Network t-shirts at my local thrift store today and am passing them out proudly.
