Governor critical of football dispute

November 29, 2007 By WRN Contributor

Governor Jim Doyle is fed up with the dispute between cable companies and the NFL network.

Many fans of the Green Bay Packers won't be able to watch tonight's game against the Cowboys because of the ongoing fight over carrying the NFL Network. Governor Doyle says greed is playing a major role in the debate, since both sides are just arguing over who gets a larger share of consumers' money.

Doyle wonders how both sides can ignore what fans want. He thinks somebody in those "big companies" just needs to come forward and look out for the average person who just wants to watch a Packer game. The Governor isn't sure how to resolve the dispute, but believes the NFL and cable companies should be able to work out a solution.

As for the game, Doyle says he'll be watching it with family. One of Doyle's sons has a satellite dish.
