I'd like and dislike the team only option. I love the Rams but I'm also a football fan and enjoy watching other games not on my local channels. Getting the Jets/Houston (example) instead of Kansas City /Cincinnati sucks. Or the Giants/Washington instead of Minnesota/San Francisco. Bad enough the Eagles eat one of the 3 network games every week.....when they're not in prime time.....but then the network game might be the Giants/Chicago. No, I like having my choice of games when the Rams game is over. And I always hop around anyway. Will it be expensive? Probably. Bill me Dano!

I would think charging $150 for a team’s games would be fair. Figure 9.99 per games while knocking $20 off for at least 2 national games per team that would be on Sunday Night, Monday Night, or Thursday Night. Asking the NFL to pro-rate it if your team has more than two of these game is probably asking too much

I hope the NFL is the first of the big 4 to break down and allow team purchase. Either that or single game purchase at a $9.99 to $19.99 price point.

Will be interesting to see if they do that, seems like they'd be cutting their own throat a bit. They'd have to find a price where it didn't cost them money to do it...

There’d probably have to some sort of sharing so that’s why it might have to wait until a unified new broadcast and streaming deal in 2030.

I think there is a profitable market for the team model. If you charge $300 plus for the entire package, many fans will deem that too steep for purchasing it when in reality they only want it for their team’s games. What Google has to ask themselves is how many fans are willing to pay $150 for their team’s games but not willing to pay $300 plus.

Right. How many new people will it bring in compared to how many will take the lower price option that would've paid full price?

Google is going to need a quickly develop a hardware solution. Some sort of central box that is "rackable" and can distribute signals over existing runs of HDMI, Cat 5/6 or RF wire.

Or maybe DirctTV retains the commercial rights for now.



The NFL scored another big payday Thursday by agreeing to an estimated $14 billion, 7-year deal with Google’s YouTube TV for residential rights to its “Sunday Ticket” package.

DirecTV has held the rights to “Sunday Ticket” since its inception in 1994. But the satellite giant’s 28-year-old relationship with the NFL is not dead yet.

DirecTV is in talks to retain the “commercial” portion of “Sunday Ticket,” sources said. That includes the 300,000-plus sports bars and restaurants that use the service to show out-of-market NFL games to customers.

Under this scenario, DirecTV would either deal directly with the NFL or do a sub-licensing deal with Google or another company. The NFL is looking to pocket as much as $200 million from licensing commercial rights, according to the Wall Street Journal.

“The NFL retains the commercial rights to ‘Sunday Ticket’ and are in the midst of a very competitive process for that,” a league spokesman told Front Office Sports Thursday.

On claim is Sunday Ticket on YTTV will have a user designable “mosaic” page for their Sunday Ticket. So you could put 2, 3 or more games on a screen and select the layout.

But they might not make the start of 2023 season as development is ongoing.

Doesn't DTV have something similar with their Sunday Ticket app?

They have “mix” channels but they’re set by them. All you can do as a user is switch the audio you hear.
