The Best Game.....Nobody will See

Dallas Cowboys.....10-1......Green Bay Packers.....10-1. In just a few hours these two teams will meet at Texas Stadium in Dallas to battle for supremacy in the NFL's National Conference. One problem. Well.....one big problem. Three fourth of the viewing American public will not get to watch it. Out of the 111 million homes in the United States which have televisions.....the NFL network is available in only in 35 million of them. Greed, greed.....and more greed. The mighty NFL (the creator of the so named network) , is holding the major cable providers hostage by demanding they carry the NFL network on it's basic package.......for a fee. The giant cable companies are balking.....claiming they would have to pass the cost on the consumers. The cable companies want the NFL network to be a "premium channel". The NFL wants it to be basic. Are these guys for real. You mean to tell me......in the year 2007........Already the number 1 consumer sport in the country.......The NFL has the gall to want ......even... more?

By the way......I have Directv.......so I'll be watching tonight....I even may provide updates.........for a fee.
