Dick_Cheney Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 They usually have free trials, and I'm pretty sure last year they had a Black Friday or a Holiday deal for 99 cents a month. Which was great because that's about all it's worth. Anyways, it's dumb that you need access to 7 different streaming services to watch all the games you wanna see. But hey. What can you do. 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 To me this is a sign that the streaming fad is never ever going to work for sports. They are desperately trying to force people to watch sports on streaming services. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 It’s around $5 a month when I started and you can cancel pretty much anytime. It’s not that big a deal. I use as I like some of the nbc shows and I typically watch them the next morning at 5 at the gym without commercials. I wouldn’t stress over it. You’d pay the same for a Starbucks. 1 1 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but as of now, AFAIK, the free trial is just 7 days. The Bills game at LA in December is also on Peacock. Choose this or the playoff game, not both (unless you live in Buffalo or LA or wherever the playoff teams are in the WC game, where the games will also be on free TV.)

DrBob806 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Greed greed & more greed. The only good news that may come of this is the possibility that we can pay for select games on a streaming service in the future, which would be better than the NFL Sunday Ticket package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Why can’t the nfl just stream its own content? It’s app already has the technology… they don’t think they can monetize it them selves the same way their buyers can??

Pays over $600 a month to see a trainer 3 times a week at his main gym, and then joined a second gym for $50 a month (which he doesn't like) just to use the trainer's services (since he switched his service to a new location). He also just bought a $3,000 e-bike which he never uses. But he balked at paying $5 more a month (just $35) for a main gym which he admits is better since he pays only $25 now. WTF?

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 The Bills / Chargers game on 12/23 will be streamed on Peacock. For those that are not Peacock subscribers the timing is great.
