https://tv.youtube.com/learn/nflsundayticket/ * - 1 Locally broadcast Fox and CBS games, Sunday Night Football on NBC, select digital-only games and international games excluded The "excludes digital-only" games is a key limitation there. Essentially, they (NFL) can exclude any games they want without notice and tell you to go pay more for some other service. |

There have been some lawsuits about how misleading online advertising is to the advertiser. Users have a million ways to ignore ads, and the more that sites try to flood their sites with ads, the less attention people pay to them. Half the ads are just trying to get you to go to another site that only wants you there so they can sell ads. The ROI for 99 percent of the ads on the internet is zero, and at some point advertisers are going to wise up. Ads are not sold based on results (purchases), they're sold on exposure, and exposure is worthless for the most part. Last edited by Rain Man; 01-10-2024 at 10:59 AM.. |

Sunday Ticket with Red Zone was $400 this year. It is very specific that it is only for noon and 3 pm games not aired locally so not really any shenanigans. I found it worth it though. |

Mike Tirico is calling the game but with Jason Garrett instead of Collinsworth.

I use Brave browser. Takes less than 2 minutes to download. Knocks out all the redirects and popups. Don't have to deal with them at all. You click on the event, you go directly to the event. I downloaded Brave browser for this specific reason, but I liked it so much compared to the others that I ended up using it for everything else as well. Very easy to import all your bookmarks from Chrome, Firefox, etc. But I have friends who only use it for pirating, so you can do whatever you want. The only reason I even have Chrome still installed is because for some odd reason, the Amazon Prime video format is not supported on Brave. I have 500 mbps internet speed. $95/mo with Cox in Phoenix metro. Multiple people in my house can be streaming at the same time with zero issues. Perhaps this is why you guys keep having problems with frequent crashing? What is your internet speed? Crashing did happen to me more frequently when I had slower internet. So I use Brave browser, my internet speed is good, so the only other variable is what streaming websites you're using. My two go-to's are: 1. https://720pstream.nu/ 2. https://www.thestreameast.to/v2/ In the EXTREMELY rare event that those aren't stable enough, I go to: 3. https://v2.sportsurge.net/home3/ - sports surge is a website that aggregates tons of streaming sites (crackstream, markystream, etc) It always surprises me when I hear people talk about not being able to get these streams to work, because I use them completely trouble-free 99% of the time. I love them, especially because on things like the NHL, MLB, and NBA, you can choose the feed you watch. For example, I stream a ton of Avs hockey, and I can listen to the local broadcast with the Avs normal announcers that I became accostomed to when I lived in Colorado. |

$400? I had no idea. I'm glad it's worth it to you. It's worth some amount to me, but not $400. Of course, I have some advantage, though, in that I live in an AFC West city, so Chiefs games are shown here with some frequency, other than games that the NFL has decided to show on peacock or The Hallmark Channel or whatever. Over the past five years where the Chiefs have been a juggernaut, I can get 70 percent of Chiefs games over the air and can go to sports bars for 20 percent. The only games I can't get are the ones that the NFL has sold to CNN27 and North Korea Public Television. |

I don’t use it for Chiefs games. I use it to watch all the others since I’m in KC. So I get more than one game of value as I’ll have four games at once at times going or just choosing a better single game than what is being shown locally. I bet on lots of games and have fantasy interests so that’s how I get the value from it. I think it’s $300 if you have YouTube TV. |

And part of that is because of all the rights that keep getting bought by different companies. That didn't used to happen at nearly the level that is going on nowadays. I suppose that may be simply the fact that there are more tv viewing options (more streaming services).

But as you say, the relevance of this, and it's timing is upsetting. A wise man once said, the only constant is change, or something like that. We are so fortunate to have our Chiefs win a couple Super Bowls and appear in 3 recently. Can you imagine if this happened in the Herm/Pioli era? |

The not-legal steams are going to get slammed.
I'm torn. I want to watch a reliable stream which is impossible unless paying, but damn them for going this direction. Might just have to miss it based on principle. |

Peacock might have gotten more value by having the game shown on NBC and using the 100 million to buy all the advertising spots during the game and promote their service. The whole thing just seems goofy. |
