Boooo! So you're the reason I couldn't find a decent stream when I was in NC during a football weekend last year!

Seriously though I know how hard it was to find a stream last year, so kudos to you for doing your job effectively. With the Ticket at 200 this year now, I doubt I'll have a problem when I'm out of town, seeing as how I'm sure my friends would easily pay 200 over 350.

Well, truth be told. Other than Monday Night games NFL wasn't a major point of focus

Also, my own recommendation to upper management was a bit controversial...and would have flipped the industry on its head (or something like that)

Furthermore, a la carte plans are not as cheap as one may think

Care to share?

Also I would think a la carte plans wouldn't be as cheap as we think, mainly because it would cost a cable company more to carry an entire channel devoted to one team, plus when you think along the lines of "buy in bulk = save" the a la carte mode wouldn't seem as attractive as once thought.
