Default NFL Network coming online in July!

Just listening to the draft coverage, and it was announced that the 24/7 network is coming in July! Sounds cool!

I heard that yesterday too. The pre season starts in August right? So that would make sense to get setup just before the season begins.

I'm kind of wondering what they'll do.

I have DirecTV and NFL Network is generally a safe channel (in that there's generally something worth watching at any given time). Most of the time is NFL Films stuff (which is why it's worth watching!).

There's only so much news and discussion that can go on in the offseason (as NFL Total Access ably demonstrates... it's good for the "Best Of..." this time of the year, but not an hour a night!).

The only thing I can see working is just taking the audio from NFL Films (especially John Facenda!):

Quote:
The autumn wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea.
With a rollicking song he sweeps along,
Swaggering boisterously.

His face is weather beaten,
He wears a hooded sash,
With his silver hat about his head,
And a bristly black moustache.

He growls as he storms the country:
A villain big and bold.
And the trees shake and quiver and quake
As he robs them of their gold.

The autumn wind is a raider,
Pillaging just for fun.
He'll knock you around and upside down,
And laugh when he's conquered and won.
Even though I'm a die-hard Raider-hater, I could listen to that all the time!
