You should've worked in a Sharkey reference...half man, half shark equals one complete gentleman.

Now that would've been Fancy, Lad.

re: NFL Network Going Bye-Bye?

TS: Understandable. I think a lot of hard-core football fans like the NFL Network's content. My concerns tend to be different, though - I'm concerned about journalistic integrity and equal access to all types of media. As I pointed out, the NFL only really succeeds when they can monopolize and cut out others. We've seen this with things like video on the web... they don't like competition, since competing with established media and determined little guys like the OBR is, well, hard. My concern with NFLN was that they would push out independent and objective journalists so that they wouldn't have to compete. We saw this already with combine coverage and the games. I think we may have dodged a bullet with this.

Tom: You'll need to accuse the Wall Street Journal and others of sensationalist coverage as well, since they've also been speculating on the NFLN's future. Success is relative. What might be a successful business for you and I might be a failure from the perspective of a monopoly whose worst-run franchises are worth more than half-a-billion dollars. When a network can't get past two of the major carriers on the financial terms they've set as defining success, I'd say they failed.

I don't know how accurate this headline is, at all. Seems to me like sensationalist journalism to me.

NFLN is a success. If they partner for any reason, it will be to expand its success, and comparing NFLN to WLAF is crazy.

I wonder if Rich Eisen is going to make his yearly wise-cracks about NFLN not being available in Canton this year like he always does when he covers the HOF Festival...

I like the NFL network. Am a directv subscriber in CA and the only way I can see something of the Browns is on the replays during the week, Hope they keep that part of the show.

bout time, the nfl network is a good idea, only if it comes with every cable provider as part of the normal package, that is messed up... we already have to pay for the tv, the electricity to run it, the cable provider, and then to watch a game on tv you have to go and pay another company? i mean what next, are we going to have to pay for a provider, then each channel separately? its not a pay-per-view here, its a football game.. come on

There has been excellent (if highly opinionated) coverage of the AP issue at a site called "Making Light". The latest episode in this situation is another jaw-dropper:
