Saints-Steelers Hall of Fame Game - August 5th

Look, I understand your anger, but it is getting you nowhere fast. You need to realize that the NFL owns the NFL Network, which means it pockets the profit from advertising and from selling its channel to cable networks. Your best bet is to do what the Serenity Prayer says, "Accept the things you cannot change". Either you can go to a friend's house or buy a dish.

Or just get digital cable and watch it there. The price for that tier is equivelent to dish or to directv and the signal on HD channels isn't compressed to the point it is no longer HD.
