Why the NFL sucks
Every night, I put the girls to bed at 8. I usually lay there with them for a while, some times as long as an hour. During the World Series and MLB playoffs, I was able to listen to every game while doing this, on my iPhone. The MLB app gave me full coverage of every game. Sure, it cost me $10, but I got every single game for the entire season, for every team. I even got video coverage for one game each day.
I spent much of the last hour trying to find a way to listen to the Super Bowl. The NFL Super Bowl app can’t do it. The CBS Sports Mobile app can’t do it. Hell, even the CBS Radio app doesn’t have coverage of the Super Bowl. I ended up following the game cast on the ESPN Sports Center app. What is wrong with the NFL! The NBA has coverage of every game on an app. Hell, even the NHL has NHL.tv, no iPhone app as of yet, where I can watch every NHL game for a reasonable charge. MLB.tv takes it even further. If you buy an MLB.tv subscription, you can watch every game on your iPhone this season.
Most weeks, I’m stuck watching some crappy game I don’t want to watch, because the team I like is in a different market. When is the NFL going to move into the 21st century, and give fans the ability to watch/listen to games how and when they want. Instead of simply bowing to the television networks and DirectTV, maybe the NFL will some day care about their fans.
