Both sides are wrong. The NFL Network is not good enough to be on a basic tier, but they see that MLB negotiated that for the launch of the MLB network and now they want the same deal.

Comcast is wrong for BUNDLING the channel with other unwanted sports channels to inflate the price. NFL Network charges $7-$9 per sub per year. If Comcast offered the NFL Network as a standalone upgrade (like HBO or even Playboy) for $1 a month, significantly more people would subscribe (satisfying the NFL) without having it added to the basic level (satisfying Comcast)while providing $3-$5 per sub in return for Comcast. Apparently, Comcast would rather hold the line of charging around $6 per MONTH for the bundle of channels including the NFL.

Young Frankenstein did a trial run in Seattle and I saw the show while it was here. I was apprehensive that it would be a letdown, but it was actually very funny and very entertaining. The audience completely ate it up. It stays pretty true to the movie, with the addition of some great songs. Perhaps maybe some of the early critics are just backlash against Mel Brooks and the ridiculous ticket prices for the show. For the $70 we paid it was a great night out. I'm sure I'd feel differently at $400 or whatever they are charging in New York.

nice!
