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

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

If you don't have cable, you can't get it. If you have cable but it doesn't carry NFL Network, you can't get it. If you have to get DirecTV to see it, how is it not PAY to view (if not exactly per view)? Want Monday Night Football? Need cable or satellite carrying ESPN.

This is greed fueled stupidity. No skin off my back.

I like the idea of local media charging to carry scores and highlights. It does amount to free advertising for entertainment. While I'm at it, we need to end every single cent of taxpayer subsidies for sports. They can build their own venues.
