I agree with most of what youre saying. but as a FORMER employee of directv-please remember that its called the "nfl SUNDAY ticket", not the "nfl SATURDAY ticket". I'm actually surprised Directv/NFL decided to even air a delayed saturday game on sunday. but yeah, in the past, the sunday ticket didnt impose as many restrictions as it does now. the majority of nfl sunday ticket subscribers were pleased. MLB & NHL fans? LOL..thats an entirely different story. If you want to lose your money, go to a las vegas casino blackjack table blindfolded, or purchase the mlb extra innings or nhl center ice-both seem to yield similiar results=the worst kind of unhappiness!
