I'm still mad. Mad as hell!! That valuable team doesn't mean jack squat right now because the fans just don't know what to expect... Dallas is a beautiful underachieving team, point blank! The New York Yankees they are NOT! The Yankees actually have credence by winning 25% of the world series last century. The Dallas Cowboys of the present day reminds me of a diamond in a goat's *** right now! Lots of bling, but little substance. It's still my all time favorite team but either they leave you screaming for joy or just plain scratching your head.

I couldn't even watch the darn game in my own house and that was the LAST game at Texas Stadium. Crap on the NFL network! I had to watch the game at a sports bar with crappy service and jacked up audio. The audio stream was ahead of the video stream... It was miserable to hear the post play whistle during or before the play the whole game. Horrible experience!! To hear Jerry pimping the team on the NFL network when so many cable carriers were left out in the dust is just horrible. You can't even get the NFL net on the low tier on DISH Net. If the NFL is planning to someday go to pay per view then I don't wish to watch it anymore. Sorry I got off on too much of a BS rant there but that's just my vent.

Professional football was started by a bunch of wrench-heads in a garage and now it is owned by a bunch of lawyers. How often does a Mr. 60 hours a week get to go to a regular season game and be a part of the stadium crowd without getting nosebleeds in high altitude. Much less a playoff game.

Anyway, carry on ladies and gentlemen... we'll wrap up the season next week... or dare I say continue into the unknown after next week.

The NFL Network seems to be the best high def channel I have on Direct TV. I love it.

Yep, its great. All football all the time, and if you live in the area of one of the teams in the game, you get it locally as well. I dont understand the moaning about it.

That is the only thing i could agree with... The HD quality is good, but my rant is.. it just seems to me they shut out too many other carriers. It is overall greed in that the cable and sat companies want to put it on their special sports tiers and the NFL Network wants it to be carried by all carriers independently or just plain carried. Nonetheless it is expensive I'm sure. I'm still PO'd that it wasn't simulcast on our national cable channels, not one!

Reminds me of boxing though when back in the day you could see so many great boxing matches on ABC's wide world of sports... Now boxing is pretty much pay-per-view and it sucks now. People would rather buy pay-per-view MMA than boxing now.
