This not true..

I tried to buy NFL Gamepass last season and can't, because I live in Canada. :angry-cussingblack:

The heading should read "This is not true". There was no edit button?


Edit: But now there's an edit button on my reply? Oh well, It's still not true..

I'm amazed that there is a market the NFL hasn't ripped off exploited.

It's because of the cumbersome and antiquated CRTC that no one here wants. The only thing I can buy here is NFL Sunday Ticket. About 280 bucks. Give or take. They only show 1:00 and 4:00pm games. So most teams have one or two Sunday nighters and one or two Monday nighters and the odd Thanksgiving thursday, coupled with the the fact that I can watch at least 3 to 4 Bears games for free on Sundays anyway if they are playing Detroit or a New York team. It boils down to 28$ each for 9 or 10 games. I used to listen to live radio broadcasts from Chitown but they ended that 3 years ago. What in Gods name would be the harm in letting a fan from another country watch his favorite team? One other thing that PISSES me off is that you can't choose to follow only your team, you have to buy them all. You"re right Mark.. exploit.. is the perfect word. OK, my rant is over now, have a good day.

The picture quality can be pretty low but the price is right. You can watch pretty much anything you want here.

Thanks Web, I'll give it a shot. Watching NFL online netted me two viruses year before last. Personally I wouldn't put it past NFL security to infect foreign streaming sites. :character-blues:

I've watched it off and on for a couple of years with no ill effects but yeah, there are risks everywhere.

I believe that this site uses flash so you definitely want to keep that leaky piece of junk updated.

I used to follow Nascar. It was exciting before restrictor plates and all the rules that came to fruition since the 70's. I say, give a driver too much horsepower and make him use it wisely. THAT is skill. In the meantime.. I can watch all the Curling I can stay awake for. But.. I like NFL football! It's a different kind of strategys and unlike soccer there's usually more than 1 point scored in a game. My bitch here, was really about the way fans are taken for their money and not respected anymore. 8) I think.

Do you know who never get along? NASCAR fans and golf fans.

Each one thinks the other sport is the most boring thing ever invented and they're both right.

Then you have track and field, swimming, womens anything, olympics anything, which are true tedium for anyone.

I Love to play golf but you have to be a real fan to watch a whole tournament. I assume. When I'm teeing up on a par 4, I line up the club face (#1 wood) with the path to the flag. I am feeling three other guys watching but I can't see them. So I replant my feet and pull the club back a few times. OK now I'm concentrating on the game. But, on my back swing, I see, out of the corner of my eye.. three good golfers leaning on their clubs, watching me. I finish the swing. Shanked it. And then I take the walk of shame and go pick up my ball.
