NFL Network wants it all.....and will go in the back door to get it..........

Those of you Pilgrims, that subscribe to Time-Warner-Cable like Ole' Pecoz does, has got to feel plumb whip-sawed back and forth in the attack negotiations going back and forth between TWC and the NFL Network. Full page ad's in newspapers -- mailers --- press releases. Gets plumb tiring don't it!

As I understand it, the billionaire owners of the NFL teams don't reckon that the proceeds of million$ of logo wear sales, $100 ticket prices, $8 beers, $6 hot dogs, billions of TV revenue, billions of advertising revenue are enough. They now want a buck per month for every house in the country that TWC serves. To this end, their new own network is gonna broadcast eight games this year.... TWC doesn't pony up the millions of dollars, they don't get to air those eight games.

Speak'n plainly, although I enjoy watching a football game every now and then, I don't want to pay another buck a month, 12 months a year including the off season, to watch a couple of those games.

As soon as I saw that ole Jerry (The Hatchet) Jones, Arkansas carpet bagger that he is, was gonna ramrod this lash-up, I knew we were in for trouble. What really burns my britches is that these same conservatives that been whuppin' up on liberals all these years for running to the courts to get what they can't get in the ballot box - these same guys are now runnin' to the governors and state legislators to try to get them to lean on TWC! Ain't that a crock full of turn-around bovine B.S.!

Anybody got a tin nickel they'd like to bet that if the NFL wins this tightwad's tug-o-war, that in a year or so, they're not gonna maintain monopolistic hold over all the big games, play-offs and Superbowl's..... you betcher Stetson, son! ! Then see what they're gonna charge you per game - make that $12 per year look like chump change.....

When you see all this fallderall, read the small print before you believe what you see!
