I can't believe NFLN gave up the Thanksgiving game, that was the one game to be able to hold over TWC....FML.

Honestly, when I first discovered the NFLN I thought it was suppose to be the mature answer to ESPN. Little did I know it was the dumping ground for washed up ex-NFL players, GMs and coaches. I swear the constant plugging related to the network is so annoying.

I seriously thought they were pathetic when they would try to interject Cam's name, to the dismay of Mike Mayock, Lombardi, Charlie and that other guy, into every story or sentence but they have jumped the shark with The Golden Calf of Bristol. We won't even talk about their Thursday Night football games. It's like watching college football game.

TWC isn't making plenty of money?

I find that difficult to believe.

Why should the NFL cave to TWC demands?

The nfl wants everyone with basic cable or sat., to have nfln as part of the basic package.

Twc wants to charge the customers more for their customers to see what other cable viewers see as part as their basic deal.

TWC needs to get over it, and step up....stop screwing it's customers.

I'm glad i'm not a subbscriber to TWC.

My cousin is in upper level management at TWC, here in Cincinnati. They are now training their employees, to tell current/potential customers that want NFL Sunday Ticket to buy a PS3.

TWC is not going to have either the NFLN or Sunday Ticket, anytime soon.

Oh they're both to blame... they're both being greedy asshole corporations. There's lots of money to be made, but both groups wants the most of it... typical.

Could mean something else, that nfl network isn't making as much money with ratings with that game and have to move else where

Since NBC is going up from 600M to 950M/yr I'm guessing it was an add-on to justify a little of that hike. More NBC stuff from MMQB

NBC got the Thanksgiving night game, beginning in 2012, taking it from NFL Network. NBC got one of its Wild Card games changed to a divisional game, beginning in the 2014 postseason. NBC got the ability to add a two-hour pregame show on its new NBC Sports Network in 2014. And this under-the-radar add-on, which could come in handy. In the new contract, NBC will not only have the ability to flex-schedule games in Weeks 10 through 15. In Weeks 5 through 9, NBC will be able to flex out of a bad game; this won't be an unlimited opportunity, I'm told, and it won't be like the regular flex scheduling, when a good game can be flexed for a great one. Call this the Peyton Manning Injury Clause. In Week 7 this year, NBC was stuck with the Saints against the 0-6 Colts, and no one cared. In the future, the league will erase a game like that one and sub something more palatable.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’ve turned from a staunch detractor to him now having my 100% support. 1. He turned the worst o line in the league in to a top 10 unit in 1 offseason. Incredible.  2. Contracts to Horn and Hubbard. Reward your ride or die homegrown talent. Neither contract was way out of line for market value.  3. All of the talent he has added are intelligent, high floor types who love competing.  4. He understands that an org lives and dies off of the draft. This was the very first draft that I can remember since… ever where the franchise didn’t make a boneheaded trade and/or waste a high pick on a project tweener. No. It was Tepper sitting by almost completely mum, watching Dan orchestrate Dan’s draft…. picking intelligent high floor dudes from big name schools who showed up to play every Saturday and loved competing. It just felt right.  5. He has shown no reservation in cutting bait on guys that he sees as not having what it takes. This is really big one. It’s what the good teams do. Without it, you get the ‘coach’s guys’. Complacency. Stagnation. All these dudes needs to watch their backs.  I see him building a young core who have displayed NFL level ability. For the first time in a really long time it feels like the captain of the ship actually knows what he is doing.

      Jake Guentzel was a pretty elite  player and he fit us very well. And we’ve only had two offensive elite forwards under Rod. That’s Jake and Miko. Sample size is pretty small and I feel like your arguments biased. We are going to get an elite player or two In the off-season, we can be the judge of that this time next year.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      Defense is overall bottom 5 without a doubt.  We literally do no have any depth on any position for the defense.  We are once again a couple of injuries away from being complete garbage again.   I assume next draft will be defense heavy.
