Do you live where they don't show Chiefs games on TV? If you did you might understand. I've been in that position for 30 years (much of which I had no options at all), so I really appreciate Sunday Ticket. I can't have DirectTV here (condo), so I'm going the Madden route. You do what you have to do.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why you need it. I just can't believe the hoops you guys have to jump through just to get a decent deal on it. Then, why some of you get it free while others can't get them to budge an inch. Just seems like they don't really care if you stay or not.

Yeah, I think the NFL should offer all the games as Pay Per View on cable, or some other way other than only through DirectTV. The lack of competition is bad for fans.

The problem is it is VERY VERY good for the NFL. DirectTV pays WAY more for Sunday Ticket rights than they actually are worth on their own. This is because directtv uses Sunday ticket to sell their TV service(and retain the existing customers).

If the NFL were to offer Sunday Ticket rights in a non exclusive manner it's likely they would see significantly lower revenue from their TV rights. I'm sure this is what their research has shown them. If it wasn't they wouldn't sell exclusive rights, they would sell the package to everyone.

That may change now. Back when DTV first entered into that contract, there weren't as many competitors in the space. Now you have Comcast, Dish Network, Uverse, Verizon Fios, Google Fiber (hopefully growing fast) and many other regional networks. They could spread out the rights and make a pretty penny once that exclusive contract ends.
