Even if they wanted to trade Taylor Mays, sending a mass email devalues their returns. I don't get what Baalke is doing here.

That's what I thought, but I get the impression that you need to wait for a game to archive and thus it's like MLB.TV with no live options.Futurevoid said:

Yes. Games will usually appear a day after the initial broadcast. The nice part about rewind is you get the ability to change angles on certain plays, track stats etc. as you watch. It's a VERY nice service that I've subscribed to for the past two seasons - the shit part is the waiting.Manos: The Hans of Fate said:

A Day? Damn, I mean what's being offered sounds great, but a day kind of sucks. I mean at least with MLB it's 90 minutes.Futurevoid said:

NFL Rewind is excellent. It's the only NFL product I will spend money on this season.Futurevoid said:
I am, however, heavily considering signing up to DTV so I can get the free NFL Sunday Ticket subscription.

the games are available the next day. actually i think 2am monday morning usually or something like that, a few hours after the snf game ends. every game with no commercials. the games stay rewatchable throughout the year. I thought i heard they were going to start keeping past years on there but maybe they changed their mind i dunno.

for game rewind though I understand if it's not what you want if you don't get your favorite team on TV where you live. I always want to watch the lions game live or within a few hours of live on DVR. But it's great for rewatching your teams games, players, and games that you couldn't catch live. Seemed like every week there was a game or two that I'd want to go back and watch after hearing it was awesome.

Just got off the phone. You can absolutely sign up for the NFL Sunday Ticket To Go option without having to be a DTV customer. The cost is $350. One pay option. You cannot do it monthly.
It will available to order on September 9th and you will want to call this number 800-670-7288 to order. I'm mulling it but man $350 is a serious hit as opposed to $40 bucks for Game Rewind ...

My wife loves cable and hated when we had Dish (it would go out regularly during bad weather). It pretty much soured any ability I have to convince her to switch.Rorschach said:
I recently moved and had DTV reinstalled at my new place on the 11th of last month. That was exactly 4 days before they started offering NFL Ticket to new or moving customers. I called and tried, but ultimately failed in my attempts to qualify for this season. It's great deal though for people who are on the fence.

I'll be settling for the $40 deal. NFL getting owned on this by the old stodgy boys at MLB. Get it sorted Goodell.

That averages out to $21 per game, pretty pricey.

I tried to be sneaky and shit to see if I could sign up for their Choice Plus package and just not have any equipment sent out or technically use the service at all as I told the lady I spoke with that I was only interested in the Sunday Ticket functionality. At first she said she could do it! I was in the process of signing up at $34.99 a month and I planned to just cancel once the season was out (roughly $180 bucks). Then I asked if I was locked into that 24 month contract and she said she would check with her supervisor who told her that for me to get that monthly price I had to have DTV equipment installed on site. Then they transferred me over to that number I listed above as they are the folks that handle the Sunday Ticket promotions and I was given the $350 quote.
So close yet so far away.

Probably the most frustrating thing about football. Just for the ability to stream high quality football on my computer, I'd pay up to $40 a month (which would be obviously about $10 bucks a game). They would be making GOOD money off that. But $350 for the season? Yeah, no thanks.
I can scour the underworld of the internet to watch my Colts, or watch the Bengals.
The NFL forces my hand.

I don't watch TV that much, but anyone want to calculate monthly cost of that $35 package?
I'm sure there's a balls load of hidden fees.

direct tv paid mucho dinero for the rights to sunday ticket, i'm too lazy to google and find out when its up, but i'm hoping the nfl smartens up and realizes they can sell the whole shield to people, just like mlb sells the whole league with mlb.tv.Manos: The Hans of Fate said:
if i had a ps3/xbox app like i do mlb.tv i would gladly throw down $300 for the app. give me archived games ~1 hr after the game like mlb.tv has, and let me do multiview like they do on mlb.tv and I'd be in heaven.
350 isn't bad depending on how much football you gonna watch
I was on the phone with directtv and they actually suggested for me to use a friends sunday ticket or go in half with someone that has it and use their login credentials.
I forgot my sister just changed over to DirectTV earlier this yr. I'm gonna have her try and call back and get the sunday ticket added for free. If she can't get it added for free I'll just split the cost with her

Hey Future,
How does the online Sunday Ticket thing work?
Can you stream it from 2 computers at once? What about 2 different IPs?
I might pull the trigger.

I know they reupped it recently, I'd bet directtv would still pay stupid money the same rights minus streaming. I mean MLBs is the best thing to counter streaming and everyone in the US besides the NFL seems to following MLB. Its so infuriating.zychi said:

It doesn't like there's any streaming limitations per device, but you may want to check the FAQ's. I'm seriously considering it but god that price...
I'm curious if the NFL Sunday Ticket On Demand is available through the streaming options? If so, that may put me over the edge. If I could rewatch games, there's zero reason for me to sub to Game Rewind at that point which drives the price down $40 bucks. Still expensive but...

I'd bold the middle, but I'm on phone, I cannot believe they actually said that to you, I'm not doubting, but that is crazy. I wonder how many different IP addresss direct TV will tolerate? I also have to assume dtv people aren't supposed to say that. LOL

Hell, if multiple computers can connect at the same time - I'd be willing to split the cost among other interested parties.

At the end of the day, as a Colts fan, I'm happy that I have one of the greats, regardless of how he's rated. And it's great that he and Brady have been playing against each other so often the past ten years or so. It's great as a fan of the Colts and it's great for the NFL.

I'm checking with Direct TV on the IP limitation question...
EDIT: One device at a time. If a second login is attempted with the same account information - it will fail.

I tried to share the mlb.tv thing with a friend a few years ago, and it worked fine for like half a year and then every time I tried to log in it told me that the account was already logged in. It sucks that all these services charge so much, the NFL especially. I would love to watch non-Eagles games on the computer.

Man, I'd just like to watch Giants games on the computer. I'll worry about the others later. :jnk I get maybe 6 Giants games a season living in Central PA. That's mainly thanks to the Prime Time games. So streaming was the only outlet I had to watch the rest.yankeehater said:

I still might do it - streaming from non-legit sites sucks.

You cant just do a sports bar? When I lived in SF I did Sunday Ticket the first year, bt DirecTV ould go out for us every time it rained, so my wife made me get rid of it after that year. After that I just did a sports bar every week. It was an awesome experience, their is an Eagles bar in SF, so I got to watch the games with almost all Eagles fan and ot to meet so cool people overe last 3 years I was out there. The Giants are close enough, and popular enough that I would think there are bars for Giants fans throughout PA.

My opinion on whether the Panthers should give Clausen another chance.
I don't know. Paint me a critic, but I just don't think the kid has it in him to be a legit NFL quarterback.

I could, but I'd prefer not to. I'm usually at the computer chatting with folks with my little girl on my lap while my wife is at work. I've got a second one on the way which will make it even less of an option.yankeehater said:
