Exactly! If they can provide that service to our friends across the pond, no reason why they couldn't provide it to all of us in the states. I mean, they do technically have it, but only local/regional games and prime time games. Not out of market games live unless you're a DirecTV subscriber.

I suppose it´s related to the TV Deals - why would Fox, ABC, NBC, whoever, pay a ton of money and invest in crews and cameras etc for people to watch it via stream and pay only direct to the NFL.

So, first, those would need to be restructured.

Maybe the XFL Network will show how it´s done.

It’s just a matter of $$, who’s going to come to the plate with an offer the league can’t refuse for streaming rights, and how does it work alongside the network deals

I'm also thinking that in the very near future, when ATSC 3.0 becomes the new broadcasting standard, which will merge internet with OTA, there will be subscription options opened up for cordcutters, and that will be the perfect time to provide such a deal to those guys.

Yeah McDonough felt average to me. I liked Gruden but it will be nice to see a fresh pair in the booth next season.

Simms was the worst.

The last few years I'm unsure if he was really calling games or they just had a Simms chat bot repeating the same generic crap play after play.
