Thanks to the guys at the XFour forum.
My favorite line of the article by the AP:
The NFL had tried to enhance the appeal of its own cable channel by withholding a number of live games from traditional broadcasts and reserving them for its own network.
the emphasis is on try....by withholding the games in the short term it hoped to enhance the value...instead The NFL accounting/development nerds forgot that the people who Love the game need to SEE the game in order to SUPPORT the game. I digress..it doesn't sound like the two would be good together to me...what do I know. I'm a die-hard..they can do what they will...I will always be a Packer fan regardless...
