Sometimes I’m really left to wonder what the people at the NFL and NFL Network are actually thinking. First, there’s the absurd fight the NFL Network had with most cable companies that’s kept the network out of the homes of more than 61% of Americans. Next, I’m going to link you to a video from the NFL Network of a great catch by Jerricho Cotchery in the recent Thursday Night Jets/Patriots game that you probably didn’t see.

Why am I only linking to it rather than just embedding the video? Because thanks to some backwards thinking by the NFL Network, they don’t allow access to the embedding of their videos. No some may think that’s a smart thing because they want you to visit their site to view their videos and watch their ads. That’s nice and all, but the video itself starts off with a fifteen second commercial. The NFL Network could easily allow the embedding of videos from their site, and every time someone watched them, they’d still get the advertising views. I don’t get it.
