Who wants Sunday Ticket?

looks like about 9 mill$ (280mill/32) cap increase if ALL the extra profit goes straight to teams... since that doesn't happen, maybe 85-86$mill for 2005.

I have the Sunday Ticket now, and I'll proboly be going away about 45 mintues away for college next year, so I dont know. I was hoping there would be some alternative to get the ticket, incase I moved into an appartment, but the only team I *have* to watch each week is the Skins, so if that means hitting up the local bar so be it. I'm not really old enough to care about that yet.


As far as the flex Monday night thing, I really like it... as long as it dosent schedule two games on a monday night. Unless they are going to have two games and then bump one to ESPN or somthing, I dotn want the Redskins for example to be bumped out and then fans not able to watch. I'm hoping what they do is schedule Monday Night games for the first 8 weeks of the season. Thereafter leave the slot open, and starting at week 4, schedule the week 9 Monday Night game... week 5 schedule the week 10 monday nighter... week 6 schedule the week 11. Ya know what I mean?

Here's my question with sunday NFL TICKET. Why can they not show the games all week long? usually all the games i want to see start early on sunday, and well, i can't watch them all at once. so, who wants to start the petition to have nfl sunday ticket air them all week long?????

I love the idea of flex scheduling for MNF. There's nothing worse than a late season stinker. I also love the idea of Thursday and Saturday night games after Thanksgiving. The more football the better if you ask me.

As far as the DirecTV deal, I was really hoping digital cable would get a piece of the NFL Sunday Ticket deal. I can't get a dish in the apartment I live in now, so I'll have to keep waiting til I get my own house. But once I do, one of the first things I'm going to do is get on the horn and get a dish installed!!

Sorry about your dish situation Mattyk72. I love sunday ticket. Out here in California it's the only way to watch the Skins every sunday.
But I think the flex schedule idea sucks. Ever year for the past 5 years I have been flying out to at least 1 or 2 Redskins games. So ever year when the schedules comes out me and me friends plan out or trips.
If I got airline tickets and a hotel lined up for a certain sunday I would be pretty pissed off if they changed the game to a monday or thursday. How would anyone plan there trips? I count on those schedules. Could you tell someone to come visit for the weekend and go to a game? No they would have to wait untill the last minute to know the game was going to be played on sunday.
I for one don't like the idea.

i was hoping nbc would out bid fox for the nfc games.i can't stand fox

I have a question too. They are getting 8 from cbs and fox + 3.5 from direct tv say get 2 or 3 from abc/espn totaling around 14 billion dollars. What does the NFL do with all the billions of dollars they are getting? I know the teams get some of it. But I am just curious how it is devided up or where it goes.

I think you bring up a good point. Also, what about the teams themselves? If you suddenly have a Sunday game switched to Monday night game that changes your game planning for the week and more importantly for the following week.

Also, I guess I'm still not clear on this-would this mean two games on Monday night? So for example, could a game that should have been on CBS 4pm Sunday be moved to Monday night? What does that mean for CBS's schedule then? Are they given another game in that same time slot or do they have to find some filler? I imagine they'd just air another game right?

They split the TV revenue evenly amongst all teams. Gate receipts and other revenues are split 60/40 between the home team and visiting team.

If only baseball used the same system... :(

or nascar... all the league sponsorships and tv revenue go straight to nascar and not to teams, meaning every team needs to raise its own 20$mill a year or whatever... the NFL has really done a lot of things right...
