Safety Harbor, FL | How Much? Are they out of their minds.....??? During football season every Sunday we (wife & I) go to our favorite Sports Bar. They feature the Tampa Bay Bucs because we live in Clearwater. But the owner always puts Da Bears on one of the larger screen TV's. He knows we are there to eat drink and have a nice afternoon out. I wouldn't give these yokels a dime for the NFL Package but I guess like they say there is one born every minute. |

Not sure what you're driving at. I'm not interested in spending gobs of money on the entire line-up of NFL games week in and week out, but it would be nice to see my favorite team from the comfort of my family room (and I could live with a reduced price for that). I live in MD so naturally it's Redskins/Ravens, but surprisingly there are a number of Steeler bars in the area. That doesn't mean I have time to go out for the afternoon every Sunday, with two kids and a never ending list of projects. It's called paying for convenience when free isn't always free. If you think outside that little box of yours, you might find you're wrong 4 out of every 5 minutes. |

said by Wizeguy:I wouldn't give these yokels a dime for the NFL Package but I guess like they say there is one born every minute. You do realize you already indirectly do, right? Unless your favorite sports bar offers free food and drinks, a portion of the profits from your bill is used to pay the costs of the bar's NFL:ST bill. You obviously aren't footing the entire bill, but you are still paying for it.
The subscription is worth it if you are willing to pay for it. |

I used to subscribe to Sunday Ticket and it's great. The price has definitely gotten out of hand, though. I dropped it last year.
When I first subscribed it was $120 a year. Now it's $300 a year and you have to pay an extra $100 for HD. Considering I can see three games on the major networks in HD for free, ESPN & NBC games at night in HD, and NFL network replays for any game I might have wanted to see but missed, there's no reason at all to drop that kind of cash anymore.

Well I could also sit in my driveway and turn on my SIRIUS/XM Radio and "tailgate". But old folks like us would rather sit around on a Sunday with some friendly folks watching the games, eating some wings, high fiving and all that rubbish. Of course we realize we are helping by paying and keeping the Sports Bar in business is in our interest. Plus the watiresses are young hot and sweet. (ha my dirty old man is showing) |
