NFL is saying screw you, we will put the games on, and if you don't have them fans will go where they can get them [satelite]. Unfortunately the fan is stuck in the middle.
So, from what i understand, if fingers are to be pointed, it is at your cable provider.

The blame can be solely placed on the NFL, and the NFL Network NOT your cable company!! The reason the cable company is now charging a fee for the NFLN is so they don't have raise your monthly rates, so they are giving you the option to subscribe to the NFLN for a monthly fee instead of raising everyones rates.
The NFLN is charging the cable companies 0.71 cents PER subscriber for the channel (which if I'm correct is the highest), and since the NFL told the cable companies to basically piss off when they wanted in on the Sunday ticket or something similar, I can't blame them I am glad the cable companies are holding their ground......
