Sundays are my Ticket to Happiness

Since I was out with dysentery, avian flu and cowlick (like Tracy's horse on 90210), I wasn't able to comment on the complaining about DC's (east coast) football feed on Sundays. I took a flight to Houston and hopefully infected all of the White Sox. While I grew up in Ohio, the only two football games I was accustomed to were the Browns and Bungals, which could cause even the best fans to go to sleep. Then I moved to DC where I could only get Ravens and Skins, which was about as bad as watching the Browns and Bungals during the mid 90s. Now, I have moved where I can tap the Rockies and decided to get the wonderful creation called DirectTV. While Rupert Murdoch's crazy politics cause me worry to give him money, his satellite contract with the NFL causes me elation. NFL Sunday Ticket is around 200 bucks for the whole season (50 dollars for 4 months) If you are a new subscriber and get the Sunday Ticket package, you get four free months of the top tier of DirectTV (which includes Skinemax, Skinemax Top Self, Best of B Actresses and Old Softcore Porn from the mid 80s), which basically means that you pay 50 bucks a month for the first 4 months. DirectTV is also alot cheaper than cable TV as well, the dish is free, and it costs about 45 bucks a month, including Tivo after you get the Sunday Ticket package. The way that the Ticket works is that at 11 AM (MST), there are about 10 different channels that appear in the 700s that you can get the feed from that area of the country. So, those of us are able to down a 12 pack of beer in our boxers, throw in a pizza and switch between the games we want. The local feeds are blacked out on the Sunday Ticket channels, so this weekend I had to go to the local Fox and CBS channel to watch the Chargers/Eagles and the Packers/Vikings and then the Broncos/Giants in the later hours. But I watched the Steelers/Bungals, Chargers/Eagles and whatever other game I had money on over the weekend. I just hope that Duke will not catch up with me, like he did with Brando or else I will have to call up Nat to help me out. Get the Ticket...it will cure all of your Redskins, Bears, Browns, Brian Billick, Texas A&T boredom...
