NFL Network overrated.

I do like NFL Replay, and I love those top ten countdowns. Those are usually always good (with the exception of top 10 rivalries, I don't know if you saw it but the #1 rivalry was "Raiders against the world"....). As for NFL Total Access, the ONLY thing that is good for is they have exstensive highlights, something you won't get on ESPN, I'm also a big fan of Steve Mariucci and Rod Woodson. That being said NFL Total Access is a little too long and they really only need to air it maybe 3 times a day max. I would love to see some more NFL Films stuff up there at least once a day.

And for the record I can't stand Deion Sanders.

I liked #2 (I think) it was George Allen and his hate for the Dallas. He did some pretty tripped out stuff to beat them.

I really like the 10 minute NFL replays they have on demand

NFLN has a few good programs. The problem is that they are on for 168 hours a week and all they have are a few good programs.

Take their "good stuff" - not counting the Thursday Nite Games and run it all back to back to back. Do you get 12 hours? Not by my count, but I'll concede that maybe there are 12 hours a week of good and original programming.

The problem at NFLN is what they do to fill those other 156 hours every week...

Yup, but things will improve with time. The NFLN kind of reminds me of CNN when CNN first aired. CNN was great, revolutionary, and people quickly got hooked, but the programming wasn't particularly good. Essentially, CNN re-aired the same stories in a loop (CNN Headline style). The NFLN will improve as it gains popularity, finds out what does and doesn't work, and simple gains the benefit of time and hindsight.
