MarinoFAN13 said:there was talk about streaming them over the internet like MLB for a cost. I think DirectTV has to much power on the live feeds. I heard that for the NFL to stream the games over the net they would have to actually have seperate cameras becasue it woud violate the deal they have with Direct.
The tail does not wag the dog.The NFL owns the product and while there may be some temporary delays due to contractual obligations the streaming will happen sooner or later.
There is a huge international market which has not been touched yet and the best way to distribute the NFL worldwide is through the internet.
I hope it happens this year because thats the only way I could see the games other than on a delayed basis loaded from the web but the season is fast approaching and there has been no news recently so I doubt it.
