Lets see how it does in week 7 -14 in the middle of the season ...
Of course its gonna draw well in the beginning of the season ....
I don't remember most TNF games as it is, when it is on Network or NFLN ... unless its my team.
I imagine there are alot like me that forgot about it, now if its Streaming ONLY, it will be even worse .... after the initial start ...
I guess we'll find out when the rating come out ....
I'm sure they will make it sound like it did great regardless.
Now take a poll with those same people and see what percentage are Fantasy players or Gamblers ... I bet its High.
I would agree with that. But the attention span of many of the younger generation is short. I also think most football fans under 30 would take the NFL Red Zone over the NFL Sunday Ticket to watch a game. It will be very interesting to see the numbers after next year when it comes to subscribers.

Like a movie set, the goalposts are on rails, just moving back and forth and back and forth... answer anything and they shift again to paint streaming as a negative and the failing DirecTV product as the best solution.
Change is hard, for some.
That typically happens when you have this many posts.
More often than not, the 1st 50 or so are relevant to the subject and the rest are elsewhere.
This is Nothing new.

Are NFL's Sunday Ticket talks not going well?
As we wait for the NFL to decide on a new partner for Sunday Ticket, the folks at Sports Business Journal have floated an intriguing possibility.

There was one report that Apple was expected to get it buy wanted to reserve the announcement for an appropriate time (a product launch, etc). Ultimately, no news isn't really bad news unless it's this time next year with nothing, then yeah, something's gone sideways.
Personally, IF Apple does get it, you would think they would NOT want to do it at one of thier Product launches ....
Why would they waste that info at an already attended event ... wouldn't they much like to have "Another Event" to announce, vs doing it at a Phone or Tablet release.

It has been in the news that Apple plans to slow hiring and spending next year, I wonder if NFLST could be a causality of that.
Fine by me, always have said Amazon is the better home for it, they also have a business division alread, so they can handle Bars, Restaurants and Casinos.

How dose DIRECTV plan to keep Sunday ticket? For me they have been giving it to us for free the past 7 years, has anyone been getting it for free lately? Or is it just me because we have been with DTV since 1996 and currently pay 236$ for the highest package
Phone/Tablet event would get it the most exposure, and couple it with their overall emphasis on sports, how it's highlighted in the latest OS/hardware, etc. Like everything else, they'd frame it like they're inventing sports, basically.

Intriguing… the streaming guys are saying it’s worth what they think it’s worth, not what the NFL thinks it’s worth.
Maybe they looked into the DirecTV ST numbers, saw viewership, cost per eyeball hour of the content and decided they didn’t want to pay more for the NFL than they do for Ted Lasso.
The NFL also has NFL+ vapor ware that they promised with no visible means of support.
Granted, I still think either Apple, Amazon, or Disney/ESPN will pay a pretty penny to get it… I just don’t think the penny will be as pretty as the NFL had hoped.
And the price for the Sub will Stay around $300, because they already know the customer will pay it.
Got it free the last two years without asking. This year I had to call and it took about 45 seconds to get it approved.
