We were up in SE Kansas for Thanksgiving, where they have satellite TV or nothing. Thank goodness they had the NFLN package. Most of the country did not get to see this game. That's my first gripe about the NFLN.

But there are plenty more...

Bryant Gumbel: WTF? This guy was awful, it was almost like he was watching his first football game.

Commercials: How many times did they show that GMC truck ad? The IPOD ad where the kids take their shirts on and off?

Commercials played over the kickoffs and extra points: WTF? They even had to jump back to the game once when there was a penalty on a kick, pathetic.

Weird Camera angles: Lots of these, why not learn from the masters at the real networks and cover the game right?

But Gumbel takes the cake, at least he didn't let his reverse racist bias show up too much Thursday night.

I hope the NFL Network is the financial flop it derserves to be. Maybe then we'll get our games back on the real networks.

Welcome to CP. May I take your coat and hat?
