Speaking of Sunday ticket, I think it a free preview weekend for it this weekend for those with DirecTV. As mentioned on my previous thread, it's showing the Texans vs Jags game on the guide for the Greenville SC/Spartanburg area but not sure if that is accurate or not. According to WSPA, they are still airing the Panthers game but we will see but if they do air the Texans vs Jags game, I will just turn to the Sunday ticket version, so as long as they do the free preview.

In the age of 2021 I think it’s absurd a satellite carrier has the rights. Yea uh, we are streaming poo from apps now. Not worrying about being in a ‘service area’ and installing poo on our roofs lol.

Then the shady poo of contracts, good grief. I did the math in the other thread and it would cost near $2,000.00 for Direct ticket for two years ($300 less for one). Sorry that just fuging dumb.

And yet people not in the ‘service area’ can just buy the ticket for $300 a season. Much more reasonable (and modern). Don’t tack it on to some sort of absurd subscription contract and stick a brick on my roof. What a joke.

I honesty don’t care who ends up with it so long as it’s treated as the modern age. Meaning an app, internet…NOT satellite. Don’t fuse it together with the other company make it a stand alone.

Let me buy my NFL for a few hundred bucks each year. If I need to subscribe make it a small fee and NOT a contract.

Just be reasonable and stop being fuging greedy. Stop punishing fans anymore than you are simply because they moved to a different area.

This should’ve been done better 15 years ago, it’s time already.

 

personally I do Gamepass.

seems to be the cheapest option and I work overnights.

I have a pretty strong disdain for Apple and their products.  I was an early hater.  However, my love for the Panthers is unparalleled, so it will be interesting to see how I navigate this.

My son, as a member of Gen Z, loves Apple. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get or already have the subscription. If they have benefits like Amazon Prime, I'll just piggyback off him for free. I haven't had to pay a dime.

I don’t care who gets it. It just needs to be far away from DTV. Apple would be the easiest solution for me since my family splits all the Apple services. Between 6 of us we all get:

iCloud Storage

Apple Fitness+
Apple Music Family Plan

Apple Arcade

Apple TV+
Apple News+
 

Comes out to roughly six bucks a month per person on the plan after taxes. We all watch the NFL so we’d end up splitting the cost evenly as well. Most subscription services on iOS are shared across the entirety of the “family” so we all get access to each other’s subscriptions.

The fact that directv still doesn't offer Sunday Ticket standalone is baffling to me.

They must not want my money.

  I just get red zone channel instead.  I normally get gamepass for free as part of my panthers season tickets.  (They tend to wait until the last second to email this so I'm assuming they will do it again.  If not, I probably won't buy that)

Yeah I just got tickets this year I haven’t seen anything like that?

I’d love for it to be Amazon since I’m already a prime member. Apple would be better than DirecTV but it would likely mean I wouldn’t get it or watch it.

I wouldn't at all expect it to be included with basic Prime membership.

At some point, we're going to have to return to our early 20th century trust busting ways on Amazon.

You can get it as a standalone, you just have to know how to do it.  Its not something they want to advertise as obvious...because their purchase of the package is to drive customers into their cable service (or maintain customers).

Sunday Ticket is like the $5 steak everybody wants a piece of.  But they try to say you have to buy the $40 meal package in order to get the $5 steak.  The purpose of the $5 steak is to get people to buy the meal.  So making it easier to get the $5 steak by itself doesn't make sense for their business model.  They are not in the $5 steak business...so just selling more of them isn't their goal.

There's no way they'd include it with current prime memberships.  They would have to roll out prime "levels" of membership with the premium level having Sunday Ticket included.  

And shamefully I would crow about it and then go buy it. LOL

Please expand on your thoughts on trust-busting with regards to Amazon.

 

Lots of other companies do online commerce/sales. There's nothing stopping people from utilizing Walmart or other organization's online services where you can buy the same items. 

Lots of other companies do backend services. Nothing stopping companies from utilizing Microsoft's Azure or Google Cloud services for their backend. 

Lots of other companies are bidding for the NFL package. Netflix has a larger streaming base than Amazon has. How does Amazon getting this deal lead to trust-busting?

      Clean ACLs really are not. He is already running on it. There are more complicated injuries where ACLs tear with other things that can cause more serious injuries. I think that’s where the confusion comes in.

      Try to reduce the amount of soda that you consume on a daily basis. Soda is packed with sugars and carbohydrates, which can cause cause a poor reaction with your skin. Instead of soda, try drinking water or flavored water as an alternative to your meals during the day or night. Try using some kind of mist moisturizer instead of just using plain water. Plain water only hydrates your skin for a short while and will end up drying out your skin. Moisturizing your skin with a mist form of it is a lot easier to apply then a topical cream. Finding the right product for your skin type is a very important factor in making your skin look nice and healthy. If you have dry skin, you would not want to use products that were designed for oily skin. Make sure you research what the products you use are for, and your skin will thank you for it. After you take a shower or a bath or just wash your face, pat dry with a soft towel. Vigorous rubbing will damage the skin. In addition, leaving a little bit of water on your skin will help keep it from drying out and make it easier to apply an after-shower moisturizer.
