    How sad should I be that my local cable doesn't offer NFL Network? Are there good shows in addition to the Thursday night games? Is there good programming in the off-season?

    My cable company had the NFL Network a few years ago and I absolutely love it. Plus, still, they are very biased in favor of the Cleveland Browns and give them alot of coverage. They always do coll team profiles in the offseason and NFL total access is one of the best sports shows on cable. I highly recommend you get it. I wish I still had it.

    I think it's pretty fantastic, especially in the off-season. Their combine stuff is first rate and they constantly re-air classic games in their entirety and condensed version of games played the previous season. I've also enjoyed their "Greatest 4th Quarters" and their "America's Game" show (hour long look at the season of various Super Bowl winners) is too awesome for words.

    If you have the option of switching to a provider that offers it, I highly recommend it.

    I like their Sunday morning pregame better than any of the other pregame shows.

    My favorite is that in the spring/summer when you're in desperate need for a football fix, they do the NFL Replay for 16 weeks.

    So for example...

    1st week of April: They replay the games from NFL week 1

    2nd week of April: replay the games from NFL week 2

    By the time the 2010 pre-season is ramping up they're showing the playoffs and Superbowl replays.

    Like I mentioned, it really does help with your football fix during the summer months.

    I love it a lot because they show replays of the best games of the week, ALL preseason games, classic games etc. And after the season is over they replay ALL the games from the season in order.

    I like Chris Berman and the crew at ESPN better as far as coverage and personality go, but I like the NFL Networks crew better than FOX. 2x's as much as NBC. And 3x's as much as CBS.

    My favorite shows during the week are the AFC and NFC playbook shows. I also like the Sounds of the Game show where they play audio from micd up players from the previous weekend. I love that they have Brian Billick on the Playbook shows though. He in my opinion is one of the most knowledgable down to earth brutally honest people in football today. He's an asset for anyone.

    But yeah NFL Network is definitely worth it.

    Sounds awesome-- like just the sort of thing I'd love. I'm really going to have to get after my cable provider because there's no way my wife is going to agree to switch to a different service.

    NFL Network is awesome. The live feed of Josh McDaniels saying "Mother*ckin" made it even better. 😆

    I think it's "just ok" I find myself watching it more in the offseason then the regular season.

    I rarely watch it...maybe 2 hours a month not counting and live games.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Sure, but you're entirely too busy watching Murder, She Wrote and Matlock re-runs. Not to mention your McCloud dvd collection.

    Pay no attention to this guy, professor_g. He's asleep far more often than he's awake.

    It is a must if you like the combine too....evr day of the combine plus interviews and the best show countdown to the draft every night 3 weeks before the draft...great channel!

    The NFL package is great for those of us who live outside the Ohio viewing area. Otherwise I would have to watch the Titans.... blech!!!!

    The "two minute warning" channel is really cool, it switches back and forth between games to show you all the important and crucial plays as they happen. It is the only channel you need to watch actually.

    I will agree with Solan that some of the combine stuff is good and pre draft stuff is good, but it does get a little redundant watching one sweaty guy after another run around in shorts. Too bad they don't give Cowboy cheerleader tryouts even 1/4 the coverage.

    And, how many times can you actually watch football follies??

    I wish the NFL net took a cue from MLB net and showed classic games....now that would be worth a look.

    And for the record, McCloud was a terrible show. McMillian and Wife was far better. 😁

    It's good to have especially in the off-season but the commentary on the Thursday night games is horrible and the audio on that channel is 6 billion dB higher than any other. I don't know if anyone else noticed but their audio during the live telecast of Thursday night games is not quite synced.
