The NFL is the greediest sports league out there besides basketball.
The MLB streams every game over their website free of charge (reg required, though), ESPN also helps them out too if I understand correctly.
I don't understand why the NFL requires such steep prices. Probably to pay their players $30 Million a year...... |

WRONG! MLB.tv is not free. On top of that, their blackout restrictions are nothing short of ridiculous. PLUS, MLB held cable customers ransom at the start of the season unless they matched DirecTV's offer of $700+ million in rights to MLB Extra Innings. I would argue MLB is by far the greediest of all the leagues. |

The MLB live streaming is most certainly not free...
MLB.tv prices:
1 2007 MLB.TV Monthly Subscription Only 14.95
2 2007 MLB.TV Premium Monthly Subscription Only 19.95
3 2007 MLB.TV Yearly Subscription Only 29.95
4 2007 MLB.TV Premium Yearly Subscription Only 49.95
I think if you buy every game before the season its around $80 or so... |

| Ya it's around $80 but you cannot see your local teams. I live in Ft. Worth and cannot watch the Houston Astros or the Texas Rangers. They are, in theory, supposed to be shown on TV every night on my cable provider, but Charter sucks big time and FUBARs it every time. |

Unlike MLB player contracts, NFL players do not receive guaranteed monies with exception to their signing bonus. Baseball players get the whole thing.
Nice attempt though. |
