Re: hit the content owners then

To be honest.... with the NFL channel being so specialized its only worth that $0.70 for 3 months out of the year when they run the (very few) exclusive games that have been pulled from the other networks that previously did.

So for the remaining 9 months of the year you're paying for a totally useless channel that does nothing but replay old games from 4 years ago and regurgitates the same sports stats that I can get online from a million other sources... the cost we pay for the time the channel is actually relevant is closer to $2.80/mo for the 3 months.

That's way too expensive for one football channel... and not worth passing on to all cable customers regardless if they're football fans or not.
