So what they're saying is that they're going to charge you the full season price even if only a half-season is played...just the billing will be "delayed".



I'll stick with streaming to my big screen for free.
What a crock. NHL Center Ice and MLB Extra Innings is around $200 COMBINED with Comcast. Thats over 3,500 games. Like 9 cents a game. And if I only watch the Caps lets say it gives me 50 games that I wouldn't get otherwise. Thats $4 a game. Or lets say I get 130 extra Orioles or Nats games then it goes down to $1.50 a game. And the craziest thing is I might be overestimating the $200 price tag as I suspect it's actually around $160 for both.

NFL Sunday Ticket around 176 games (256 minus 32 Prime Time, 48 Sunday Games a year, minus 8 NFL Network Thursday Night Games). $1.80 a game. Or if you follow the Redskins and thats the only team you watch then lets say you don't get them on TV when you're out of market for 12 games a year. So that works out to around $27 a game.

What a rip off. No wonder they have $9 billion to fight over. People are being price gouged like theres no tomorrow. Oh and let us not forget that blackout rules apply.
