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 isn't 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.

It was wasted because many people either can't or don't want to watch football games on computers and mobile devices. Buying the rights again does not make it a good idea.

DirecTV is outright lying if it says "every game" and does not include every game.

Once again Yahoo isnt concerned about those who cant watch it terrestrially on their television as that's not what they forked over that cash for.  

The NFL is happy because they made more money then they probably wouldve have otherwise, and they get good market research on the viability of a streaming option.

And like I said, most every slogan/tagline in history is misleading; life lesson, if you're buying things off a slogan, you're being suckered.
