I hate the NFL network. Or rather, I hate my cable company. Or rather, whichever is responsible for there being NFL football on and me not being able to watch it. Last week it was the epic NFC matchup between the Cowboys and the Packers we were locked out of, now its the emotional conflict with Sean Taylor’s team.

I can see merits on both sides of the argument, but come on! The NFL is trying to get the most money for its network, and the cable company has a thin margin between what they payout for content and what they charge subscribers. I get it. But you both are spending more on ad campaigns (the nfl even with tv commercials on espn, both with extensive newspaper ads) than you stand to lose on making a comprimise that works for the CONSUMER. So in the meantime, fuck both of you.

If you want to watch the games you are locked out of on the NFL Network FOR FREE, use this guide on Zeropaid.

I always knew the digg model wasn’t perfect, but here is a great illustration. Before I went to lunch I checked out digg and read a pretty interesting story about how facebook’s model sucks and they don’t serve relative relevant ads because they don’t know anything about us. I came back after lunch and saw a story about how some girl dumped her boyfriend over facebook status. Check out the ad on her profile right after she posts the news:

Not to be presumptuous but I don’t think she wants him back lol
