NFL Network

Is still don't see why the NFL insists on having their own network. All reports are that Andy Dalton had yet another great game last night as his Bengals went to 8-0 by romping Johnny Manziel and the Browns, but like me MOST of America didn't see the game last night because it was on the NFL premium network.

Even most die-hard football fans aren't going to shell out money for ONE game a week for a couple of months. It's time that the remainder of the season be shown on some standard network, you know the ones that people actually get and watch. Selling the rights to CBS for Thursday night games for the first half of the season was the right idea. Now it's time to do that with the rest of their games.

I don't know what their usual viewership is for games on the NFL Network, but it's got to fall far short of the 12-15 million viewers CBS was averaging for theirs.

Much like the NBA's t-shirt jerseys, it's time to end the experiment. After awhile it just becomes embarrassing.

I tried watching the Wolves again last night, but it was just too painful. Early, the Wolves couldn't shoot. Come to think of it, they weren't rebounding well either. The game got out of hand early and just steamrolled from there. It still doesn't look like the Wolves are ready for primetime.

And the Wild? They not only lost the game, they lost Parise as well.

This is going to be a long winter season for sports.

Go Vikings!
