DIRECTV DVR and NFL Sunday Ticket
Fall is the best time of year. No not because of the cooler temperatures and the falling leaves, but because it is finally football season.
The college football season is great because after two weeks of virtually nothing on television as far as sports, suddenly you are drenched with plenty of games every weekend. A baseball game is great live, but watching it on TV puts a man to sleep. At least the Beijing Olympics provided some sports activity this summer.
I love both the college and the National Football League games for several factors. The excitement involved in the college game is like nothing else. Each and every Saturday, thousands of screaming supporters fill up local stadiums in an effort to help the home team to victory. With the expansion of network TV contracts, there are usually great matchups on every Thursday and Saturday night as well. While I don’t really like the BCS system that is in place in the college game, one benefit to the setup is that every regular season matchup really matters. A college team could get away with one loss during the year, but if they want a shot at the BCS championship, then they cannot 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 Boston, Denver, Green Bay, and New York. What makes the NFL really fun for many fans is the advent of fantasy football. Sure some guys go a little overboard, in that they use every waking moment evaluating their players and proposing ridiculous trades to the other fantasy players in the league. But if you get in with the right set of guys and gals, then fantasy football makes all of the games much more interesting.
This fall I had to evaluate my television service, as Cox continued to let me down me as far at their service and pricing. Luckily for me, I had a couple of choices, as AT&T cable service is now in my area, as well as satellite TV. After looking into my options, I found there are great satellite TV deals going on currently. So then it became the old DISH Network vs DirecTV debate Being the football fan that I am, I just wouldn’t pass up the DirecTV Sunday Ticket package that they offer. On top of that, they offer great college football premium packages, such as the ESPN Gameplan. Overall, there is just more for your money when comparing satellite TV to Comcast. Plus, you just can’t beat the Direct TV DVR.
My spouse may not like that selection, but of course she will know where to find me, right in front of the television set this fall!
