Why doesn't the NFL wake up and just make an affordable online package for those who wish to catch games when they are either on the road or don't live in the coverage area? Especially those who do not have Directv?
In the future it will happen, but probably the current deal with the NFL and DirecTV puts a cramp in trying to make that happen right now.

I used them a lot, but I also have *others* bookmarked.

I never understood why it was that the NFL only had chosen on satellite company to allow fans to see any game they want. Makes no sense unless you work for Directv!

Just seems like more of a chance for more money for the NFL if they had deals with other cable and satellite providers. Maybe the other providers felt that it would cost the more than what they could put into it to provide something similar to what Directv offers with the NFL Sunday Ticket.
Then again, I have Directv (although I'll probably ditch it soon) and have never paid for the Sunday Ticket. I'm sure I might if I was not living in Redskins coverage area and had the extra money to do so.

How the F does a site like that stick around when we get pinched for having 'Redskins' in our domain?
ES mods brought it up to the team since this was the biggest competitor I think. None of the other sites with Redskins in the name got the letter. Plus ATDHE wasn't hosting or directing any content through the site.

it was the same reason that every team had to start wearing Reebok.

Could have been them, who knows.
From what they told me it was the highlight clips we were hosting that caught their eye initially. And there was some guy in my area selling DVD's of past Super Bowls, they suspected it was me at first.
Funny I presented the NFL's attorney with a list of fan sites that had team names in their domain, nothing has happened.

I know both the Bronco's forum, and the CowboysZone got letters on the streaming video links and threads (both sites made very public bans on both), never heard about the team name issue, but I think the Broncos forum is the equivalent of ES, and CowboysZone has a very close relationship with the team also.
Could come down to team thing with the domain names, after all we all know how nice the Danny is!
