The NFL is close to finalizing a deal with Netflix to carry its upcoming Christmas Day slate. That's fine. Netflix costs anywhere between $6.99 and $22.99 a month.
However, Netflix is yet another bill that fans have to pay to watch the NFL closely this season.
Let's review:
Viewers still need basic cable to watch games on CBS, NBC, Fox, ESPN, ABC and NFL Network. Did we miss any?
Cable options include YouTube TV, DirectTV, Dish, Xfinity, AT&T, Spectrum, etc. etc. On average, cable costs around $80 a month.
**SNIP**
To watch the NFL this season, you need cable (ESPN, ABC, Fox, CBS, NBC, NFL Network), Amazon Prime, Netflix, ESPN+, and Peacock. That'll cost you $112.96 a month from September to January, for a total of $451.84.
And that's if you sign up for the lowest packages each service offers.
But, wait, it's not that simple.
Fans still won't have access to whichever games they want at $112.96 a month. That price only gets you about five games a week (sometimes a few more with the occasional Saturday or Sunday morning window).
To choose the games you want, you must purchase NFL Sunday Ticket. Now sold via YouTube – good riddance, DirectTV – Sunday Ticket costs $449 (!!!) a season.

Soccer is the only sport I can watch live, because there are not the constant interruptions and commercials that you get with the other sports.
The UEFA Champions League has been great this year.
The NFL, Noosecar, and the NBA are now podiums for the far-left.
They’re dead to me.
I refuse to give the NFL or Netflix my time or money separately. I certainly will not give it to them together.
Doesn’t the government (taxpayers) subsidize the NFL??
Isn’t this double-dipping?

You could not pay me to watch the NFL.
When it costs anything at all.
Yeah, the cool thing is that within the hour of a game the NFL has the 17 minute version and the game. Every salient play. You get all the Cliff Notes of the game minus twenty minutes of the coaches talking into their play sheets and the pizza commercials.
Whoever pays $ 76,447.00 or even a quarter of this should be inducted in to the hall of fame of stupidity. I wouldn’t even consider paying $ 100. But there is no shortage of nut jobs.
Or you could say F*** the NFL like many of us did after Kaepernick’s stunt and the NFL did nothing but kiss his ars and put stupid “End Racism” signs in all the end zones.
I wonder how long until the NFL figures out that a lot of people are not watching the games, because they can watch the highlights.
They have it backwards. They’d have to pay me to watch.
“ a trip to the monkey house at the zoo is equally satisfying entertainment for a fraction of the price.”
And the zoo monkeys are better behaved
“I can’t sit through an entire game anymore.”
we pretty much dvr all sports, and skip everything put the play ... the total play in NFL games if you add up all the time between the snap and the end of play whistle is less than 15 minutes ...
HD antenna gets local channels free. NFL mostly on one of those.
I stopped caring about the national felon league when Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson got in trouble.
If you live in an area with a team, like me in TN, that team is on aired TV in that area.
I wouldn’t watch the national felon league if my life depended on it, and thankfully it doesn’t!
