as bad as directv is, with rumors that Apple will get it at close to $3B, we won't see any discounts or getting it for free. Will have to get Apple TV for $4.99 a month then whatever they charge for the Ticket....

Superbowl 25. I was there and still have nightmares

No, you're correct. However if the owners want an 18th game before CBA expires, they will get it. Of course it will cost them....

I don't think the owners want to wait 8 more seasons to add an 18th game

I understand all of this. I just said I don't like it

The NFL will not shut down for a full week

Good points. how is that relevant to my post? I don't think we were comparing bye weeks to the offseason

as a fan, 2 bye weeks suck. I remember when they did this in '93. I hated it

I agree it's possible but I think timing is interesting. Whomever gets awarded will have to be up and running quickly with a plan in place to sell it. People will need to sign up for Apple TV, Amazon Prime or Disney+, then purchase the Ticket. Probably not as difficult as I may think but it is a lot. Plus Directv has exclusive rights for one more season. They'll want money to give it up

They will announce a decision by the Fall to take effect next season. DirecTV still has exclusive rights for this season.

Kinda rolls off the tongue, eh?

It's only because the NFL wants $2B for the Ticket and DirecTV won't pay it. Only one's that will are Disney, Amazon and Apple

Hence my comment.

well, it won't start this September, unless they worked out a deal with DirecTV

guessing for bars and restaurants

They're all here for the money. No reason to be upset...pretty much everyone here would do the same.

How can you not believe Warren Sapp? Did he say whom he heard that from?

I think they mean for bars and restaurants.

I'm looking at Hulu + live TV...it includes Disney+ which I watch a lot and ESPN+ which will get all Sabre games

Haven't read that but doubtful they would....will be too expensive for them

this is last year for Directv since they're not bidding for it, they will lose it

Not yet

our current uniforms are pretty much throwbacks except for logo on helmet. Would like to see rest of division got back to 70s style uniforms. Current patriots uniform blows and old reds are good. Jets had originals years ago and went to current crap.

would be gone in a second

?!?!?!
