Man, watching the Giants Redskins right the now in HD. Love it, love it. Why can't mlb.com have this (thought it's much cheaper). If frickin Washington could stay on the field so Portis could get more carries (he's on one of my fantasy backs) I'd be in heaven.

It's a little expensive and I'm not prone to getting up that early to watching it. I did watch the game today online, though the feed sucked.

Yes the feeds were pretty bad. I don't get up early enough to watch the Sunday games. Even the Monday night game isn't going to be something I'll be able to watch either. Later in the season when they start doing Friday and Saturday games I'll probably watch more.

Dude. You watch HD games *at your leisure*. It is expensive, no denying that. But I watched the game after dinner, and I could re-watch right now (or literally at any time) if I wanted to. I can watch *all* the games over the course of the week if I want to, it's archived.

edit: if you're a fantasy guy like me, DON'T check your fantasy board, at least on Espn, they give spoilers that are hard to avoid. But I'd rather be able to watch the games when I want to and deal with my fantasy teams later in the week.

I think the price is $209 bucks for the entire regular season. Not too bad considering all the disposable income that we have here in Korea. The biggest problem is the time...too early to watch the games. Yes, they've got the archives, but once I hear the results of the games, I'm not really too interested in seeing them.

As far as the streams, hey, it's free. Bad reception comes with the territory. I haven't had too many problems with the feeds thus far. I watched the UCLA-Tennessee game earlier in the week and it was nice and clear. I had a bit of a problem with the Redskins/Giants game on Justin tv, it kept making a clicking sound. Then I went to Channelsurfing, clicked on the link and it worked(without that irritating clicking sound).

By the way, guys, Yahoo sports had an SEC game every week. Just go to their NCAA football page, click broadcasts and you'll see "SEC videos" and there you go. I watched Florida kill Hawaii last week. I think they have Southern Miss against Auburn this week. These games usually come on around 2 am on Sunday morning, so you can watch them and sleep in(unlike with the NFL games which come on early Monday morning Korea time).

And yes, the NFL is relentless in going after people that post videos of their product. Just like NBC was with the Olympics.

I had the Game Pass last year--loved it. Gonna sign-up again before the Sunday games. Being able to watch the Gameday show at anytime is sweet. $240 for the HD package is well worth it in my books--$14/week? That's only two less crown and cokes per week that I probably don't need anyways...

As far as knowing the results, you just have to exercise internet discipline!

I've managed to learn this as I've been watching Dodger/Angel games all year a day after, and I rarely accidentally let myself know the results.

However, if you're into fantasy, you have rooting interests beyond the raw results (and I have like 10 fantasy teams so I literally have players on nearly every team). Since I've made the investment, I'm gonna be a football junkie this season.

The ESPN gameplan is about $129 for the season...only college games. NFL gamepass is about $209 for the regular season. I'm not paying a dime. I think I stick with the freebies(although it certainly isn't perfect). Channelsurfing.net shows NFL, CFL, college and other sports.
Justin.tv shows college and NFL. I'm watching the Pats/Chiefs game as we speak. I use these the most although myp2p is good as well. I just don't like the idea of giving into the greed of the NFL, so I'll stick with the free sites.

Plus download the free torrents that appear a few hours after game time.

NFL Replay torrents give you the best 4 games of the week with expert analysis and superb graphics. They cut out a lot of the useless dead ball crap people don't really need to watch.

Actually, I'm not sure how soon these come out after the last game on Monday night but they are worth looking at.

Just watched the demo on NFL Gamepass HD. Seems my connection is plenty fast. One problem that I saw on the demo video is the NFL on Fox/Score bar is one inch from the top of the screen. This is very off putting. You have the field at the top, one inch, then the score bar across the screen, then the remainder of the screen. Is this how it is all the time?

I am watching Monday night football live in HD at work. Sweet.

Field Pass is too expensive, but I still don't regret spending the money. I guess the nfl will keep raping everyone. . .
