I find MLB Network to be much more enjoyable.
It's been eons since I had cable of any kind, but I do remember I liked the MLB network as well. They came out with a DVD set of a series called "The Seasons" which covered each year of the 1980s with one-hour documentaries. I remember really enjoying those, the interviews and pacing of the shows were very cool. I wish the NFL had a similarly-toned documentary for each year of its history too.
The NFL network is only interested in history come Super Bowl time, when they're forced to. When it comes to airing regular season games, the furthest they will go back is the 1992 Brett Favre game against Cincinnati.
I get MLB Network, which I agree is far superior to NFL Network. The commentators on those NFL Network's Top 10 shows, by and large, remind me of the "World's Dumbest" TV shows where they would show video clips of stupid people getting in car accidents and getting drunk and falling down and then they would cut to grade C comedians and reality TV stars and washed up former child actors who would make comments about what they had just seen.

Yesterday, the imbeciles (and I do not use that word lightly) on the locally dominant sports talk radio station spent two hours talking about the 2014 draft, in unison with NFL Network's replay of it. I wanted to cry.
