NFL Network overrated.

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.
