I Know What You Did This Summer (With My Money)

WhyEaglesWhy

/

,

As I no longer live in the USA, and am gainfully employed, I have subscribed to NFL Game Pass. It’s basically NFL Sunday Ticket except on your computer or iPad. For $129.99, you get every regular season game (live and archived for replay), NFL Network (live feed and archived shows), and RedZone.¹

I know many of us like to enjoy the NFL product without actually giving them any money. I, too, used to be like this. But I need my fix, and I’m tired of getting up at 3:00 Monday morning to watch a grainy, buffery illegal feed. I thought as long as I was compromising my principles and giving the NFL money, I should check out what they do with it. Imagine my surprise when some internet snooping resulted in this memo from the Rog detailing exactly what the money goes to. Read on if you dare.

  1. I’m sorry to any Sunday Ticket subscribers who saw what I get for $129.99 and went all “Scanners”.

I tell you what, the international packages are where it’s at!

I am in love with the AFL Global Pass and it’s cheaper than the NFL package.

I’ve been a Sunday Ticket subscriber since 2003. This year it costs me a monthly fee of 58.99 for only 6 short months for a grand total of $353.94. Holy fuck! Don’t auto-renew anything.
I wouldn’t trade it for the world. This year it’s called NFL Sunday Ticket “MAX!!!!!”

I do enjoy being charged an extra 50 bucks for the HD package when EVERY FUCKING GAME IS SHOT IN HD!!

For a couple of months each year I am paying the last couple of months of the MLB package and the first couple months of the Sunday Ticket which results in a 265.00 Directv bill. Holy shit!

You and me both, yeah right!

Depending on how my Steelers do, this may be my last year…

WTF? $129 for all the games streaming? Where do I sign up?

Don’t tell me you have to live outside the U.S. to get this deal.

Hmmm… it says no live feeds. Replays, but live audio.

I’ll… pass.

You do have to live outside the US to get this deal. Sorry to disappoint.

During the month of October, the $1.74 for domestic violence programs is re-allocated to pink dye expenses.

There’s nothing lofty about this breakdown. I thought for sure there would have been $1.50 for maintenance on the Acela Quiet Car.

Maybe.

The scotchguard is also useful for avoiding melted Kit-Kat stains after you-know-who is summoned to publicize whatever it is the NFL needs publicized that day.

US District Court Judge Richard Berman: I don’t see my bribe money listed. You see, my wife, she has been most vocal on the subject of the bribe money. Where’s the bribe money? When are you going to get the bribe money? And so on.

I thought it was hot tubs that came with optional hummers.

Sounds like a question for the Redskins PR department.

A similar product is available in the states in select markets or if you are affiliated with certain universities. Blackout rules still apply though, And they somehow apply to cable games (monday and thorsday night).
But the most egregious crime: the auto-renew for all future seasons until the heat death of the universe. Fuck you NFL (and NHL, same deal); If I can sign up for the service online, I should be able to cancel it online. None of this “calling and talking to a person” bullshit.

I’ve never not had success just disputing a charge on my credit card and tell my bank to decline any charge requests from “Entity X”.

Though the NFL would be the kind of dicks who would go after every fan individually.

My only mistake was using thorsday in the stead of Thor’s Day.

$1.74 for domestic violence programs sounds high, unless they’re getting back $2.00 in tax credits for their efforts. Or it’s an accounting trick and the Fall Guy line item should just equal $11.01.

Not that it matter. I’m sure the NFL attorneys are heading to DTZM’s uptown brownstone now to get this place shut down for using THE SHIELD without expressed written consent.

After all, that is how the NFL got Uproxx to kill KSK.

Janay Rice apoligizes for her role in this accounting mistake, and DFO regrets the error.
