There are two different packages for the Thursday Night Football games on NFL Network - one for games where CBS are producing coverage and one for games where NBC are producing. They are not the same as each other! (Not are they the same as the NFL on CBS or Sunday Night Football packages).

Effectively with TNF you get a completely different show with different opening titles, pre/halftime/post game shows, and different commentary teams depending on who has host broadcaster duties that day. All of the TNF games are broadcast on NFL Network, but paritially in return for doing host broadcaster duties, CBS and NBC are respectively allowed show some of them on their own networks.

There is an NFLN graphics package but afailk it's only seen on the World Feed for the Super Bowl.

Gotta laugh what is happening with the EFL rights with games on the Red Button

Another price increase by the back door.

Wonder if someone will challenge the name "Sky Sports Complete Pack"

The complete part is highly misleading when more and more content is being shifted to a red button that only those with the box sets pack can get on Sky Q.

The real cost of Sky Sports complete is £66 in SD or £72 with HD now.

You keep banging on about the price (and nothing to do with presentation) but doing that here isn't going to change anything.

Sky Sports Action currently has a "live" bug on a rugby match in New Zealand, which clearly isn't.

Minor point.

BT it seems has realised the massive error it made with it's uplift in the cost of SSME, compared to it's previous offer of SS1 and SS2. Customers taking SSME who previously had SS1 and SS2 will now, providing they don't break service, pay the same as previously. Only new customers will pay an additional £5 per month. Originally all customers were facing an £8 increase.

The Laver Cup? No it's an entirely separate thing. It's basically an exhibition.
