Genius move this...instead of recording the game off an FM station, you can pay for a broadcast of it after the fact. :lol

$10 for a previously recorded radio broadcast of a game? GET THE F OUT OF HERE!

What a dumb, dumb idea. How many people will ever do this? 3? 4? Maybe 5 tops?

This won't matter until they get Live broadcasts. Good attempt.

The question you need to be asking is how many people need to buy these in order to turn a profit? I'll be the number is pretty low. If it turns a profit, why the hell not do it?

Hey, if someone wants to charge $10 to hear yesterday's weather forecast, then more power to them. The only idiots will be the people who pay for the shit.

IT ALSO REQUIRES AN iPOD SHUFFLE!

Well for one they paid the salary of the guy who came up with this dumbfuck idea, so there goes any chance of getting out of the red on this project.

If the Saints won the Super Bowl I'd pay $20 to listen to it on my iPod. Of course if they're couting on revenue from Saints fans paying to listen to playoff glory they better get a good bankruptcy firm on teh line.
