I thought they are doing a good job, been watching it online. Good play-by-play, good color commentary, decent music (lol).

Way better than the abomination that is MNF (though it has been much improved this season).

Does Gumbel still work in the booth for the NFL Network? He's annoying enough to keep me from watching.

I just hate that the damn cable company doesn't put it on the regular tier so I normally don't watch the thursday night games since I'm already in the bedroom.

Online was great when it was working, otherwise they were having bandwidth issues which isn't surprising. Still wish they offered free radio streams like they did back when their website was new.

It would appear that he was let go for reasons beyond his control :)

i was watching last night trying to figure out why it kinda sucked. i feel like they dont have as many mic's on the field and in the crowd or something. its basically like watching football with the sound muted, except you can hear the commentators clearly.

i feel like regular sunday games on fox or what not just *sound* a lot better. but maybe its just the nfl network announcers are BORING...

At least you have the option of getting it...

Thank you Time Warner.

The NFL Network is terrible, the NFL is a joke for trying to force it on cable companies. I hope Roger Goodell gets fired and is trampled by a stampede of wild boars.

How has the NFL network been on for like 4 years and they've only shown like 3 live NFL games in that period. They could at least just call it the Football channel and get college involved also. How do you have a channel dedicated to only PRO football 24/7 365 days a year? Crazy. I don't know how they've been on so long.
