Well, it’s official. I will not be paying extra for NFL Network. Then again, neither will anyone else that is currently paying for the Digital Classic level of service through Comcast.

In a release sent out this morning, Comcast Corporation and the National Football League announced an agreement has been reached. Check that, it’s a “long-term agreement.” Oh yeah, they also settled those pesky legal troubles.

The release stated:

“Under the terms of the agreement, Comcast will begin repositioning NFL Network from the Sports Entertainment Package to its Digital Classic level of service with a full launch by August 1, reaching nearly two-thirds of the company’s total digital customer base. In addition to NFL Network’s in-studio shows, commentary and live-game broadcasts, Comcast’s Digital Classic customers will now have access to a robust suite of NFL content On Demand, including game highlights, game replays, the “best” of NFL Films, players and coaches interviews, local team highlights, and other NFL programming whenever they want a piece of the action.”

Perhaps the biggest item to arise from all of this is that the NFL and Comcast are taking immediate “joint action” to end any legal matters currently in the works with the FCC and New York state courts.

But it doesn’t end there. Comcast is going one step further for its clients, following up the morning NFL Network announcement with another one later in the day regarding Disney and ESPN Media Networks.

Comcast has reached an agreement to add ESPNU to its Digital Classic level of service and ESPN360.com to Comcast.net.

“Comcast will launch ESPNU in a majority of its cable systems in time for the start of the college football season,” the release says. “This includes Comcast’s southern systems which will enjoy coverage of ESPNU’s new Saturday game-of-the-week Southeastern Conference (SEC) package. Comcast will also make ESPN360.com available to its high-speed Internet customers for no additional charge through Comcast.net, which reaches 17 million unique users per month, also in time for this year’s college football season.”

In one day, Comcast has made this sports fanatic happy. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone.
