NFL Network is slowly turning into ESPN

[LastEmperor2k2]

fukk Goodell for that shyt, Sabol helped build the God damn league to what it is.

I fondly remember NFL films really building my interest in the game as a child. I feel bad for the kids of the future.

The original philly.com link is dead but this may explain why we don't see more classic footage. From 2008:

Is NFL Films being phased out by the NFL??? - The Official San Diego Chargers Forum

Here is the Philly link(2011).

What exactly do you want? If they had some dry ass Dan Patrick Show type of steez then nikkas would be complaining that the channel is boring. Do you really just want people up there reading off stat sheets? No, you want people who will give their opinions. Now there is no way any network is going to be able to field a cast of people whose every opinion you agree with. So you have to take the good with the bad.

Its still better than ESPN. Especially the recap shows on Sunday night.

I want what I saw 2 years ago. initially I thought it was the NFL Network meet NFL films. but it's not. I don't have to accept it because you're always on the site accepting everything while telling us we can't critique shyt for being shyt.

What language is that?


But anyway i agree the cutting out of the NFL Films stuff sucks but people are now complaining about the hosts having opinions they dont agree with.

i cant stand mark kriegel. he is so annoying

thats messed up how theyre trying to phase out nfl films.

That's the opposite of what they need. NFL AM is such a blatant attempt to capitalize on that lane. I don't need to see dudes forcing arguments they don't even believe. Also, NFL Network isn't really competing with ESPN.

yet, theres countless threads about whats beings said on first take, but never anything about total access.

as long as football is the #1 sport, the nfl network is in competition with espn.

I haven't watched NFL network since the playoffs. When did they change the sets (looks like the today show now)? The old set had a blue and crisp background to it. They also got a bunch of new people. They changed a lot in the off season.

Heath Evans is the worst I swear I can't stand that fakket

Son was going hard on Sharper yesterday about Tebow and the Jets. Can't stand that mush mouth fukker.

The funniest thing was last year when the Saints were signing people he was like "yea, I'll be in a Saints jersey soon, they're just getting a few signings out of the way".....that fool IS STILL HERE!

Also...where's Marshall? Is he only around during the reg. season?

That's actually a different, more recent article than the one I was trying to post. It's also way more depressing

Ya, I noticed after I got back from work. I had this article book marked from last year and just assumed. My fault just skimming things.

Either way, shyt is sad.

shyt ain't that bad. I'm not a huge fan of the people on NFL AM but if I'm bored with Mike and Mike in the mornings I'll see what they yapping about.

I just like football talk. when they start talking about stuff I don't like I turn the channel
