Baby Jesus hates me

Jun 27, 2007 Anger, NFL Network

I got home this afternoon and the light on my digital cable box/dvr was blinking, indicating that Comcast needed to tell me something. Usually, these messages are along the lines of “Oxygen has moved from channel 121 to 143,” so they aren’t really worth checking, but that damned blinking light annoys me. So, I clicked over there.

Subject: NFL Network

Dear Shmuck,

On Sunday, the NFL Network will no longer be available through basic digital cable. If you want to see it, you’ll have to pony up $13/mo for a Sports package that contains twenty other channels (none of which are worth watching). Why are we doing this? Because we can. Suck it.

Kissies,
Comcast

Matt… ANGRY! Urge to kill… RISING!

    Hah. In Houston I was happy to pay it since we didn’t even get the channel with Time Warner. I’ve been watching 90 minute versions of last season’s NFL network games ever since, and loving every truncated second.

    NFL Network posted a few comments about how they didn’t like how Comcast was doing this, either. Still, it does suck.

    If my house had a clear view of the Southern sky, I’d switch to Dish Network. As it is, I’ll probably pay the $13. Still, it would be nice for them to kiss my neck and lube me up a little before screwing me like this.

    Matt,

    Ah yes, the wonderful concepts of free-enterprise and Capitalism! Damn those money-hungry executives, with their plush corner offices and a front-row parking spot…LOL!
