NFL Network

The NFL Networks showing of Super Bowl 1… was a huge fail! Great idea, but poor execution.
They had a panel of 8 players that incessantly talked over the actual play by play announcer!
we wanted to hear the game as it was broadcast, in it’s entirety. ¹⁄₃ of the screen was used for useless statistics and minutia. What were they thinking? Poor presentation guys! Tell Chris Rose (program host), that it’s OK to take a breath and let other people talk.

Their site sucks at keeping the current scores of the games. The whole Giants /​Dallas game the score shown for the Giants was 1 point off all the through the end of the game. ???

I’m really glad I can review them. I wrote an email today to the NFL Network asking how I can get a hold of Deion Sanders so I can ask him to autograph my husband’s jersey. I expected to receive one of those automated emails telling me they «received [my] message, and will contact [me] as soon as possible.» Asking me to be «patient» as they have «millions of correspondences daily».
THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
They responded IMMEDIATELY, and were so extremely helpful. Here’s a copy of their correspondence to me, which was literally minutes after i sent my email. I’m so impressed I just had to write a review for them somewhere.
«Hi, your best bet would be to go to his personal WWW site.
You can also find his facebook and twitter pages there to reach out to him.
The other option would be to write to him at the league office. I wouldn’t send anything in for your first letter until you know it will be OK. Most team’s sites point out that sending merchandise in is at owner’s risk as there is no way they can guarantee it’s return. This is why you would want to write to him first to see if he accepts items to be signed, I also suggest including a stamped return envelope to better your chances of hearing back.

When NFL Network first debuted several years ago, they had a hard time filling up 24 hours. The NFL season isn’t that long. NFL Network aired way too many of those NFL Films specials where the announcer narrators each play as if converting a third down has the same importance as taking the first step on the moon.
But as it has matured, NFL Network has done a much better job at showcasing new and live content (even regular season games). There are still way too many NFL Films though.
One thing that NFL Network gives you is a much closer access to the league via players and coaches. Players and coaches are much more personal here than they are at ESPN (maybe it is due to the tie-​in with the league). Players and coaches will say things here that they will never say on ESPN. Players come in and sit-​in on shows and even do hosting gigs. Humor is better here than ESPN (especially when they get a large group of players together here, which they do often); in addition, even the most passionate NFL follower will discover a lot about the NFL that they did not know before.
NFL Network’s best segments are their pre-​season games and pre-​Draft shows – where they bring in experts like Mike Mayock (who is quite good) to ex-​coaches (Dick Vermeil, John Gruden, Steve Mariucci) and ex-​players (Marshall Faulk, Deion Sanders). If you have NFL Network and are a NFL fan, you should give the channel a shot.
