And that's obviously complete bull with them doing this Yahoo crap.

It's just another cash grab for the NFL and that's why they're doing it. Didn't Yahoo buy the rights to the London game a couple years ago when they did this? They paid like $15 million for the rights to stream it or something. Maybe I'm wrong, but I want to say I remember something going down along those lines.

Yes,  it was our game against the Bills in 2015 that I mentioned earlier. I did not know how much money Yahoo paid to show the game, but every cent was wasted because it should have been on national television. Here is something else to think about: If it is not on TV, why not play it at the usual 1:00 ET (6:00 GMT) like they used to do?

Logic goes against the idea only showing games online is more profitable than simulcasting. There are no TV ratings if the game is only online. Yahoo could have offered to simulcast it and the NFL would be even richer with two avenues to watch the game. Isn't that what the NFL and Amazon are doing?: How about last year with some TNF games on Twitter?

DirecTV has been wrong about that claim from the very beginning. "Every game" literally includes SNF on NBC, which is not included in NFL Sunday Ticket. And you can't watch all 12 games that are included in the package from start to finish.

It was $17 million and clearly it wasnt wasted because they went and bought the rights again.

Why would Yahoo fork over $17 million for the rights to the game only to allow it to be watched not on yahoo... so no it's not more profitable for them in that deal.

DirectTV isnt wrong, their slogan is misleading like every slogan in history.  The fine print clearly states only the 1pm and 4:15pm games on fox and cbs.
