Who Needs the NFL Network?

I don’t know about you but I think it is absolutely insane that time Warner cable does not carry the NFL Network.  I understand that the dish network and direct TV both carry it so why not the Cable companies.  I found this fact out the hard way yesterday as I waited all day to watch my Pittsburgh Steelers kick off the preseason against the New Orleans Saints in the Annual Hall of Fame Game.  Needless to say my whole day was ruined when I discovered this.  I personally think it is a bad move for the NFL to have its own channel.  It takes the fans away from seeing out of market games that would normally be televised on ESPN or one of the other major channels. I feel I is a greedy ploy to fatten up there pockets.
