[QUOTE=Ellis Dee] I could be wrong, but I believe this thread is directed to football fans. And I’d point out that the 4:00pm FOX NFL game generally draws a bigger rating than all of your cartoons combined. [/QUOTE] True, but it’s still frustrating to have a show you enjoy blocked/pre-empted/not aired due to a sporting event you have no interest in I’d imagine sports fans would feel similarly if their sporting event was blocked by a program they have no interest in point taken though ---

I have the NFL Sunday Ticket from DirecTV, which comes with the NFL Network as a bonus. ---

Have it (DirecTV), love it, would hate to give it up. It’s even good in the off-season. ---

I have been forced to watch several games on the internet this season. I am actually starting to prefer it. I can watch the video feed form a broadcast and the audio form any number of radio stations form around the US. That way I can match up the audio and visual with what I want to hear. I am watching the NFL Network night now via sopcast. In a few min I will feed the audio from a Local Dallas radio station and Local Green Bay station. Switch Back and forth with the three for fun. If the NFL network had a good clear feed I would pay for it. If the cable companies had a Pay Per View I might pay. But I dot want to be forced to goto a crappy ass bar. I just had ten years sober. Not that i am gonna drink I just don’t want to watch a good game with a bunch drunks spouting off all sorts of bullshit. Someday the internet, Radio, and TV will be seamless, as of now I have to sew them together with a big seam. ---

I have it, but don’t really care much. Might watch the game tonight. Might go to bed early. Yawn smiley=====\> :o ---

[My tale](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=426261) of NFL Network access from earlier this year. To answer the title question – got it, will continue to pay extra for it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-have-want-nfl-network/428025.md?page=2)
