Phase II now in effect.

"the Washington Redskins vs. the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving,"

Ouch. And if your cable company doesn't carry NFL Network, better get a dish (if they don't start charging extra for the channel now).

[Almondjoy]

Nice.. Thursday & Saturday games means Thanksgiving and often time games with playoff implications. Want to see the good matchup's?? Pay up.

[Para-Ord.45]

heh-heh, already got the NFL network .

[Richard Kimball]

They might be able to make it work, but pay per view (along with the natural tendency towards dishonesty and fight fixing) took boxing from one of the biggest events to being very low on the radar. Of course, if they promised not to have any of those stupid Burger King ads or the one where the guy asks the skier to imagine her Mastercard's been stolen, it might be worth it.

I welcome NFL pay per view. I would much rather pay for a game I want to see than watch the "free" games that the network programmers choose. With the Bears resurgence this year, I got to see almost all of their games. But in the last 10 years I have had to listen to them on the radio while the local stations all showed the Packers and/or the Vikings.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Not going to work. The majority of NFL fans are families with friends who come over. They'll most likely go out to the sports bar and watch it for free rather than paying for it at home.

[Phocion]

The NFL Network is not Pay Per View.

starting with the Washington Redskins vs. the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving

If there is no local broadcast of the Skins-Cowboys game on Thanksgiving, there will be riots in DC, major riots.

[G-Man 1]

Sounds like they better take a pole.

[rabidralph]

This sucks!

[PAR35]

Good. Let the folks who want the service pay, instead of the current socialized system where everyone pays, whether they want it or not.

[holymoly]

The NFL Network is not "pay-per-view".

The NFL Network is included in DirecTVs' basic ("Total Choice" & "Total Choice Plus") packages.

DirecTV Packages

[RGSpincich]

Do the NFL boobs actually think that their wealth comes from fans willing to pay to see their product? Not. Their wealth is derived from the advertisers who salivate at the opportunity to present their product to a monster size audience watching a free football game.

[The Duke]

I much prefer to watch the follow our local high school football season than to subsidize a bunch of professional thugs on the "TeeVee".

[backtothestreets]

Someday local broadcasters should turn the tables on professional sports and start charging them to air the scores and highlights content they carry in the news. Face it, professional sports is entertainment. It is the only entertainment industry given free air time regularly and promotes the professional sports. If the professional sports won't pay, yank it. As things are now the reporting of professional sports in local news broadcasts are essentially free commercials.

[prisoner6]

GOOD! More time with family and doing stuff in the Real World instead of in front ot TV of computer.

Could Care Less.

[mad_as_he$$]

humm didn't they learn from baseball and hockey? I will NEVER pay for an NFL game.

[Liberty Valance]

One more reason I'm liking College football more and more. Well, that and the Longhorns have been totally awesome ;o)

[Sonny M]

Pay per view for for NFL games?

This is a day late and a dollar short.

I already have NFL Sunday Ticket.

That IS NFL Pay Per View.

Its like watching folks yelling "The cops are coming" while surrounded by police officers.

That said, the NFL Network isn't pay per view.
