You know who was really instrumental in getting NFL games on devices like the PS3?...Dan Snyder

You obviously did a good job!

You have read me argue that some folks streamed because the price of Sunday Ticket was back-breakingly high for them and they would quit streaming and go legit if things became more affordable. Note that I was not condoning piracy with this argument, just explaining it. Therefore I think this announcement by Directv is a major step in the right direction. For people like me who want to do things the legal way, $200 is much more feasible. It'd still be cool to see an a la carte plan but this plan works, too.

BTW Although it is possible that I have joined Fox streams, I have never pirated from ESPN.
