I have it at a 37.

Between listening to the call from the studio with Kurt Warner being Kurt Warner, random blackouts, and going to commercial (more than once) in the middle of drives?

Easily one of the worst sports broadcasts I've ever seen.

All I had on NFLN was the HoF game last night after the first signal failed. Something about watching a replay of a preseason game didn't sit well with me.

The blackouts were weird. I thought it was my tv at first.

it was really bad. last night i was watching with friends and we got to thinking that it would be so much better if the NFLN would just show the first half of a preseason game and then another game's first half and so on and so on. NOBODY wants to watch the 3rd teamers battle it out, unless you have a friend or family member who is battling for a roster spot

One of the worst I've ever seen. They had a moment where the guy said that they were going to a commercial, then they weren't and it went to one anyway. The call from the studio was abysmal. I now know why they don't do that because it just sounds terrible and the commentators obviously have no clue what's going on.

I've never enjoyed an NFLN broadcast, even regular season.

The fact that people waste time watching preseason games is mind boggling

It was painful- I was excited to watch a preseason game, and they killed it.

Also- then the screen froze in the middle of the Charles Barkley/James Harden commercial, then the screen went black for about 5 minutes. That didn't help either.

The worst was Sal Paolantonio post-game going full on shill.

"Ray, did your wife give you any words of encouragement before taking the field?"

Sal Pal is quickly becoming one of the more annoying NFL reporters out there. He's useless.

now that the Thursday games are going to be simulcast the NFLN is the most overpriced and useless network on my cable package.
