NFL Sunday Ticket

     I am a Pittsburg Steelers fan and have been since I was a young boy. As you know most of the games on local television broadcast is not going to be a Steelers game. The only way that a person could possibly be watching all of their games and that is to make a contribution to the NFL Sunday ticket and imagine paying three hundred-sixty dollars for the season. What a swindle for people who would actually consider this.
     Although, my wife and son have tried creating a logical price conversion so that I would agree to receive the channel. Here is their rationality of the cost; approximately ninety dollars a month for four months, twenty-two dollars and fifty cents a week, three dollars and twenty-one cents a day. So their levelheadedness suggests that I spend more than that on energy drinks in a weeks’ time.
     Well they are probably accurate on the energy drinks and I know they’re not good for me either. Well neither is losing a game when I’m watching it. To tell you the truth it can be quite frustrating. Nevertheless they won the NFL Sunday ticket and of course I lost the vote due to the lack of supporting evidence to say otherwise. Of course it didn’t help much when my first game of the season we were crushed by the Baltimore Ravens 35-7 in a one-sided game where we turned the ball over 7 times and the Ravens scored the most points that they have ever scored against us. Even after the thrashing by the Ravens I’m still a diehard STEELERS fan for life, regardless of how good or bad they play.
     Now let’s go back to the NFL Sunday, want I find to be ludicrous is the fact that Direct TV is the only one who has rights to it. Guess what folks that is for four years.  Now for those who choose not to pay for the ticket will get one Sunday night game a week. So of course Direct TV knows they can get those ridiculous prices from viewers all over.
     On the other hand if I were a Kansas City Chiefs fan well then I’d be watching the games every week. Why is that you say, because were in Missouri.  Don’t get me wrong I like the Chiefs but my number one team will always be the Pittsburg Steelers. Go Steelers Nation! Oh and by the way the Kansas City Chiefs for the opening season wasn’t much better. They got stomped by the Buffalo Bills 41-7.
     For anyone who is on the go a lot or isn’t always home near your receiver they also have NFL Sunday Ticket To-Go.  It allows you access to watch NFL games on your mobile phone or on your computer, so that no matter where you are, you will have access to watch any NFL game that you aren’t at home to see.
     So it doesn’t matter whether you are a Pittsburg Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, or any other NFL teams fan it’s not necessarily how much you pay to watch the games, but how much you actually want to watch your favorite team win or lose.
