Direct TV DVR and NFL Sunday Ticket
Fall is my favorite time of year. No not just because of the cooler weather and the falling leaves, but because it is now football season.
Football season is awesome because after two weeks of virtually nothing on television as far as sports, suddenly you are drenched with dozens of games every Saturday and Sunday. Sure I can take in a baseball game live, but watching it on television puts a man to sleep. At least the Beijing Olympics provided some sports action this summer.
I like both the college and the National Football League games for different factors. The passion involved in the college game isn’t like anything else. Every Saturday, thousands of screaming fans fill up college stadiums in an effort to help the home team to victory. With the expansion of network TV money, there are usually great games on every Thursday and Saturday night as well. While I don’t really like the Bowl Championship Series system that is in place in the college ranks, one benefit to the setup is that every regular season matchup really matters. A college team might get away with one loss during the year, but if they want a shot at the BCS championship, then they can’t afford to lose twice.
The NFL is a different beast, but just as good in my book. Again the passion is amazing, especially in the great NFL cities like Dallas, Denver, Chicago, and Kansas City. What makes the NFL interesting for many fans is the expansion of fantasy football. Sure some guys go a little crazy, in that they spend all of their free time evaluating their roster and proposing ridiculous trades to the other owners in the league. Just get started with the right set of guys and gals, then fantasy football makes all of the games much more interesting.
This season I had to evaluate my cable TV, as Cox cable continued to disappoint me as far at their service and pricing. Luckily for me, I had multiple options, as AT&T U-Verse service is now in my area, as well as satellite television. After checking into my options, I discovered there are great satellite television deals going on right now. So then it became the old DISH Network vs Direct TV debate Being the football fan that I am, I just wouldn’t pass up the NFL Sunday Ticket package that they offer. On top of that, they offer new college football premium packages, such as the ESPN Gameplan. Overall, there is just more for your money when comparing Direct TV against Comcast. Plus, you just can’t beat the Direct TV DVR.
My spouse may not like that selection, but at least she will know where to find me, right in front of the TV this fall!
