No, I get all the Eagles games on local channels, but I live in the sticks and can't get cable. It's either the dish or rabbit ears.

Could Apple, Google, or Netflix step in and change the sports rights game completely?

Everyone in the world wants this to happen except for DirecTV, which would be dead without the ticket. I'd be willing to pay at least twice what I shell out for MLB.tv for this. But DTV is so desperate they toss billions of dollars at the NFL, and the NFL is way too conservative to pass up that level of money for the risks of a direct subscription model. [They'd probably need to renegotiate with the networks to make that happen, also.] My opinion of Goodell would reverse quite a bit if he found a way to make this shtein work. Not holding my breath.

I loved the Sunday ticket when I had it and would happily pay $300 if Comcast made it available...but the redzone channel is a an awesome and cheaper alternative.

Had Sunday Ticket from 1998 through 2011.  Got rid of DirecTV last year (cost and unreliability when the near-daily Florida thunderstorms hit from May through October) and did the Sunday Ticket through PS3.  Even if the Ticket was available through the PS3 this year I wasn't doing it, because our connection absolutely sucked.  It just wasn't worth $300 - honestly, the "European" feeds I have been using on and off have been better than what I could get through the PS3 last year.

Still do MLB and NHL through the computer and the PS3.  Feed is a bit choppy on the PS3 from time to time, but livable.

Did buy the RedZone through CenturyLink this year.  It's ok.

unless you live in a market that consistently gets screwed (like bay area, nyc) sunday ticket isnt worth it for the eagles

about half the games, if not more, are going to be available on national tv. youll get a few others based on dumb luck. you basically need it for 4-5 games a year. and for that you go to a bar, or if youre cheap and shtein, simply get a stream.

this is a jew talking dont question me on cost efficiency. i ran the math. 
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Usually just find a stream.  I'm usually catching up on lesson planning on Sunday afternoon anyway, so I use the other screen on my computer for the Eagles and have the RedZone on my television.

I'm listening to WIP for the first time in my life...never thought of doing it before. It's literally like they're reading the posts off of here. My head is going to blow up. Anyway, it will be nice to listen to the actual players.

Next up for me, I heard you can buy things online direct from retailers. I don't believe it, but I'll give it a shot.

Update: I want to shoot myself just as badly as listening to the callers as I do with the callers over here. Is there a program where there are no callers? Callers are idiots.

callers are awesome entertainment.....but wip is definitely not a place you wanna go if you are a homer...especially the day after a hideous loss

It's not a place you want to go unless you're a glutton for punishment or you're a miserable farg who gets off listening to mouth-breathing jackasses with double digit IQ's bitch about the same things over and over.
