What I've gathered from reading much commentary over the past couple years, is that it's because they want everyone to run out and pressure their cable provider to offer NFLN. Cable companies largely have not picked up the station because of the per-user fee that NFLN demands. It's out of line with what other channels charge the cable companies.

I did read, I think on the Saints site, that it will be shown on WGNO 26 in the N.O. area.
I'm over in the FL panhandle, and I have Brighthouse... guess I'm going to Buffalo Wild Wings Saturday night.

You mean you didn't get rid of the NFL Package after Kevin Kolb lit up the Saints this year?

And I would argue that the first NFC team to reach 13-0 (soon to be 14-0) is making history. And two NFL teams undefeated this far into the season is also historical.

It's not only Directv that has it. Dish Network has had it for a couple of years as well. There are a couple of cable providers that have it as well now.

To be honest, Directv is NOT cheaper than cable, however Dish Network is where I live so I have Dish Network and have been happy ever since.

I knew when the NFL channel started up that they would be airing games on their network. Initially it was the Thursday games and now they are expanding their audience to include even more games like our Saints game on Saturday. You watch, they will have close to 50% or more of the games running on the NFL network within 3-5 years. If you think the NFL package is expensive just wait.

.. but the NFL Tickt is not expensive. It is $200.00. Per game, that's $12.50. How much do you spend going to a bar to watch the game?
