There was an article in the Wall Street Journal last week on it, pinned to
the "Texas Bowl", the appearance of Rutgers there, and Comcast's placement
of the channel on a premium digital tier.
The big difference between ESPN and the NFL network is that ESPN by contract
is placed on a low-numbered channel on a "basic basic" (not 'extended
basic') tier in virtually all systems.
Of course, ESPN still underperforms in delivery of signals to football fans
compared to NBC, but that's for a different thread.
One other interesting factoid: the NFL's most ravenous fans subscribe to the
all-game package on DirecTV, so how is the NFL network going to make it
work. Whining about 'only' 40 million homes penetrated is how!
