We've been talking about the Sunday Ticket on Amazon for a couple of years now since they've been in negotiations from taking it from Direct TV. It caught my interest today that they had live baseball games on this afternoon and I was curious about the pricing structure.

As you can see below, they're charging $25/month for all games or $99 a year for one team- which is A LOT CHEAPER than Direct TV charges (I believe I'm currently paying $350/year for all NFL games). So hopefully they do pick up the NFL next year with similar pricing and I can finally ditch the expensive satellite TV.

Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.

If you do online only, it is $75 a month for Direct TV Sunday Ticket.

NFL Gamepass used to do pick-your-team deals but stopped. Now it's all or nothing.

Seems stupid to me. I would imagine most people don't have time to watch all NFL games, or even half. So they're trying to force people to pay for what they don't want.

I would imagine a ton of people watch bootleg streams.

It seems to me that the sports world is missing out on advanced options here.

Step 1 - provide the game footage to paying content providers (a wider group) who can then do their own commentary or no commentary shows and let people choose the best shows out there while the market competes.

Step 2 - Offer multiple video feeds from different angles and let people switch between them. If you want the normal video, fine. If you want the wider angle all-22 perspective, fine. If you want some other perspective, fine.

Let people vote with their views and show what they want.


"Although we are capable of great acts of kindness, history teaches us that we sometimes need saving from ourselves – from our recklessness or our greed. God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)

Hopefully Amazon will make a deal so it also has local games and national games. Nothing more annoying than wanting to watch a game and then it not being available because I don't have local tv.

I'm great with Amazon being who gets it. I'm very, very eager to be able to subscribe again.

Prohibition never works. Just let me sign up for what I want to watch, every Dolphins game. Or I can "steal" it. Either way, demand creates supply.
