psutrain, I've heard signs that whenever Sunday ticket is for new bids, VZ will come very, very strong, with an almost-unbeatable proposal for it....
Re the games, that's why I doubt I'll ever go to a single-provider solution. I Have VZ for DSL and Comcast for TV. I'll be out of my home on T-day, but I'll be able to watch the Colts online! Sweet!
