Why can't the NFL Network attract sponsors? (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

I can't be the only one who watches their programming most of the day.

No matter what they are showing on the channel, they have the SAME commercials during just about every break.

You'll get the occasional car commercial or auto insurance commercial, but it seems like they struggle to sell spots.

Cause there aren't many viewers and the demographic is very narrow? Maybe if the NFLN was bundled in with other channels in a package?

Those freakin' commercials are THE REASON I don't watch that channel during the off season. I can only hear those jingles so many times before I want to go postal. "You don't own me. I'm not one of your little toys."

I actually used to love that commercial because the blond at the very end of it was just freaking gorgeous. But then they cut out her scene and replaced it with a dumpy looking Alyssa Milano.

Haha me and my boy always cringe at that Play 60 "music." Horrible.

I think this was the first time I've seen the rant emoticon.. Pretty funny..

They should have started NFL network as a free channel for a temp period (1 year maybe), employed some really good production folks, and put together some really good shows, got people hooked...

But hardly anyone watches.. Who wants to pay to advertise on a channel few people watch, and the ones who do watch are all in very similar categories..

I've been asking myself this exact same question. That freakin' bus commercial has gotta be the most annoying sound ever made. I'd rather listen to my alarm going off for sixty seconds. What the hell are they even saying? Good Lord, make it go away. I have to DVR everything on the NFL Network just so I can FF through the horrible commercials.

The full song is even worse

Worst. Video. Ever.

I turn the channel every time that comes on. That's how bad it is. It has the opposite effect the marketing people want.

The words read like some prison rape anthem.... and that's about what I feel like I'm the victim of when I hear it.

watch whos comin at you

if you might allow her

watch who's comin at you

why? who's comin through?

watch who's comin at you

but don't fuss

watch who's gonna get you back on the bus

watch you change your lightbulb

then you take a shower

watch who's comin at you

why? who's got the power?

(then repeat a few of the "watch who's" verses)

if you hear us say "come USA"

there aint no way the gangstas say
