    I never want a DB in another draft. Just get FA’s who can stay healthy.

            Forget the flashy stats.

            And we got......
            An elite oline
            A tougher inside running back
            A Hines elikepunisher at receiver
            Ben can get back to less prolific, more efficient.

            32 tds, in like 2000 less attempts like in 07?

            That’s what I’m talkin bout
            Wasn’t Ben still on his rookie contract in 07?

              I think he means that the NFL may be threatening DTV with removing exclusive rights to NFL Ticket if they won't pony up more cash.

              I sort of wonder why the league doesn't just stream all the games themselves so they get all the add revenue and cut out the middle man.

              It'd probably be a big upfront investment, but it seems like they'd make more money in the long run.

              Although, maybe cable / satellite provides are willing to lose money on the NFL (i.e. pay more than the actual add revenue they bring in) thinking that it's the only reason that their current subscribers don't cut the cord.

                That's exactly what I meant.

                  Thanks.

                  If DTV did the dirty work up front there is now way I would give that up to the NFL until the contract ran out.

                    The problem with DTV is people are unsubbing and DTV only offers Sunday Ticket if you have a subscription...
                    Only way to get it over the internet is if you prove you dont have access to the satellites or landlord/apt building issue
