Earlier today, I wrote a post about DIRECTV not charging its SUNDAY TICKET subscribers for the 2011 season until its confirmed the NFL season will begin. "Due to the NFL's uncertain labor situation, DIRECTV is offering all subscribers a no-risk policy. There will be absolutely no charge for your NFL SUNDAY TICKET subscription until it is confirmed that the 2011 NFL season will begin," DIRECTV wrote in an email to SUNDAY TICKET subscribers (like me) on Thursday. This afternoon, Will Brinson of CBSSports.com reports that DIRECTV will begin charging subscribers in July, the normal month they begin billing for the SUNDAY TICKET package. "We are going to start to charge for the NFL Sunday Ticket by...probably July 3, but there is no specific date," DIRECTV customer service told CBSSports.com. "But it will be in July." So much for that magnanimous gesture. Perhaps the owners and players will let DIRECTV off the hook by reaching a new collective bargaining agreement before July, thus ensuring a full 2011 regular season that SUNDAY TICKET subscribers will happily pay for.

I have no sports channels so this doesn't apply to me.

As long as a CBA eventually gets done and the regular season schedule is not impacted in any way, then it's all good.

$330 per season is getting out of line, so I called them up to cancel my NFL Sunday Ticket. They knocked it down to $210. I can rationalize that amount.

Thank you for sharing this. My dad was complaining today about the "easy payments" DirecTV wished to throw on us if we continued with Sunday Ticket. I'll have to let him know they're willing to drop the price because now that I'm so used to having it, I really don't want to lose it.

I wonder if they'll come out with a new channel like they did with RedZone.

Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:19 PM) some penalty killers can't even get off the ice for a minute straight when the team has the zone, shit isnt easy lol
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:19 PM) apparently that guy has never gone ice skating in his life
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:20 PM) the only thing i've ever done that is more tiring than ice skating is swimming
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:21 PM) lolthatguy
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:22 PM) i love afternoon baseball :happy:
JetsFan4Life  : (19 June 2013 - 12:27 PM) Ice skating kills me
BenJarvus Gr...  : (19 June 2013 - 12:29 PM) Rick holds on to the boards while trying to skate :smug:
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:30 PM) yea, skating as fast as you can for a minute straight is hard enough, but they also are passing the puck, checking, etc...
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:30 PM) using every muscle in your body practically. requires a lot of oxygen which makes your heart work really hard.
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:32 PM) the game is so fast out there
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:36 PM) Michael Phelps at his peak was probably the biggest freak of nature ever. Do you know how ridiculous your cardio would have to be to win that many medals in competitive swimming?
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:36 PM) Like... his VO2 max has to be through the roof.
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:37 PM) By the way, VO2 max is the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise.
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:38 PM) lol Puig almost threw someone out at 1st from RF
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:38 PM) I remember that happening to Mo Vaughn a couple of times :rofl:
Tridentdawgp...  : (19 June 2013 - 12:39 PM) Sean Casey once got thrown out at 1st from left field
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:41 PM) http://www.youtube.c...h?v=K3uROKD5lS8 lolMikeRedmond

BucD+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:44 PM) JetsFan4Life : (19 June 2013 - 01:11 PM) I hate when people who don't know shit about hockey talk about hockey. This one dude said hockey players shouldn't get tired because they're only on the ice a minute per shift --- lawl what an ass clown that guy is...
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:44 PM) That's different :smug:
BucD+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:45 PM) Hockey is non-stop, lungs burning craziness....
Bucman  : (19 June 2013 - 12:49 PM) Posted Image
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:50 PM) He's probably some video game warrior who gets out of breath going up the steps from his mom's basement to get more brownies. :smug:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:52 PM) Which si why it's awesome, BucD
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 12:52 PM) el oh el that guy
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:52 PM) Hawks are fucked if they lose tonight - things John Madden would say :smug:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 12:53 PM) Hossa is playing, so there's that

BucD+  : (19 June 2013 - 01:41 PM) Bay : (19 June 2013 - 01:52 PM) Which si why it's awesome, BucD -- :yep:
Milla4Prez63  : (19 June 2013 - 01:44 PM) I got off work like 4 hours early today, fucking awesome :smug:
Mathias  : (19 June 2013 - 01:44 PM) Michael fucking Jordan has taken Dez Bryant under his wing and treats him like a little brother. :smug:
Mathias  : (19 June 2013 - 01:45 PM) 200 catches for Dez this season. :smug:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 01:49 PM) Marvin's 143 in '02 still holding up. I'd like to see it broken :yep:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 01:50 PM) Someone is going to need to average 9 catches a game >_>
dutchff7  : (19 June 2013 - 02:11 PM) I don't think anyone will break Marvin's reception record.
dutchff7  : (19 June 2013 - 02:12 PM) Larry Fitzgerald would have to join the Patriots when Gronk is hurt and if Hernandez is in jail for that to happen :troll:
Sarge+  : (19 June 2013 - 02:19 PM) lolHernandez. Phil shook. :smug:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 02:19 PM) Topic being made.
Mathias  : (19 June 2013 - 02:20 PM) Phil doesn't have anything to worry about.
Mathias  : (19 June 2013 - 02:20 PM) Tebow can play TE. :smug:

dutchff7  : (19 June 2013 - 02:21 PM) lol Tebow
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 02:22 PM) Jake Ballard :think:
Mathias  : (19 June 2013 - 02:22 PM) Hernandez should just throw away whatever he was wearing the night he killed that dude. :smug:
Mathias  : (19 June 2013 - 02:22 PM) Just like Ray Lewis did and got away with it.
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 02:25 PM) Double steal :rock:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 02:35 PM) lolStevo thinking i made some of the Top 10s too early :smug:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 03:05 PM) David Roberston forgot how to pitch :facepalm:
Bay  : (19 June 2013 - 03:31 PM) Giants Padres Fight :rock:
