Seubert to play and NFL network (old news)
Seubert should play in the Super Bowl. How can you not root for that guy? And considering that he has so much heart and determination (and his number is 69), I’m surprised you don’t see more people wearing Seubert jerseys.
Well more football talk later. This is a story I didn’t talk about back when it was timely but I wanted to revisit it now. I think it is the NFL’s second biggest problem (the biggest problem is the ridiculously crappy officiating).
Toward the end of the regular season, people were complaining about the Giants Patriots games only being available on the NFL network. Interstingly, Patriots fans have their own owner to blame: “…fans should be less angry at the cable companies and direct their ire at Patriots owner Bob Kraft, who was on the committee that formed The NFL Network.”
That game, according to the article, was to be shown on “The NFL Network (with the exception of the Boston market, where it will also be broadcast on Channel 5).” The exception would also include New York though.
Eventually they decided to put it on NBC and CBS. Thanks to that decision, John Kerry didn’t have to launch his “hearings on how the emergence of premium sports channels are impacting the consumer.”

The only reason there is an NFL Network is to make money for the owners. Anyone who thinks the NFL gives a damn about us fans is not living in the real world.
