Both sides are wrong. The NFL Network is not good enough to be on a basic tier, but they see that MLB negotiated that for the launch of the MLB network and now they want the same deal.

Comcast is wrong for BUNDLING the channel with other unwanted sports channels to inflate the price. NFL Network charges $7-$9 per sub per year. If Comcast offered the NFL Network as a standalone upgrade (like HBO or even Playboy) for $1 a month, significantly more people would subscribe (satisfying the NFL) without having it added to the basic level (satisfying Comcast)while providing $3-$5 per sub in return for Comcast. Apparently, Comcast would rather hold the line of charging around $6 per MONTH for the bundle of channels including the NFL.

$6 per MONTH ???????
You better check again with Comcast!
I called the day of the Cowboys-Packer's game and got a recording.

They said the NFL network was included in the sports package for the price of 199.00 dollars for six months. They gave no other details excpt how to order.

That is over 30 dollars a month!

Greed killed AOL and Comcast is headed dowm the same road.
