I am guessing that all of this is tangled up in the TV rights deals the NFL made so it’s not going to get any better for a while.

The NFL gets $11 billion a year for its TV rights through 2031. They're not going to do anything to jeopardize that money train.

Bullshit, that's last year's Fall collection!

The dumb thing is I actually want to watch RedZone on my phone while I'm watching the Seahawks or if my kid or wife want to use the TV, but not if it's over data. I do remember that being a thing with the TNF games on the Yahoo app.

No, extremely unlikely given the way the contracts are structured

Where does it say RedZone is mobile data only? On the site for NFL+ Premium it says it’s “TV, PC, Phone & Tablet.” The only thing that is Phone and Tablet only is “Live Local and Primetime Regular and Postseason Games.”

NFL+ has a 7 day free trial, so no reason not to give it a shot with Wi-Fi

Their FAQ said as such until a few days ago; there’s an archive.org link in my post on the last page. I don’t think there’s a way to know for sure now until games start getting played.

Eh, that’s not too worrisome. The stipulations in that archive are odd but… how could they possibly advertise it for PC and TV if it required mobile data? The free trial definitely seems like the safest bet but I imagine there’s a reason the previous verbiage got dropped.

Yes and no. It's gotten worse since they started yanking games off for poo poo like peacock and apple tv. Blackouts suck but they have always been a thing and I don't think they ever won't be for any sport

I've only used it in a primary market of a team I didn't want to watch and then it was good. I heard that if you live in a place like Nevada or Iowa that's a secondary market of half a dozen teams then it's really bad to use.

yeah. My interest in baseball has plummeted but when I used to use it to watch Red Sox games out of market it was awesome, and that was a long time ago. Like they had a fantastic streaming product in an era when you still mail ordered DVDs from Netflix and Blockbuster stores existed. What the gently caress are the other major sports doing

Wasn't MLBAM (maybe they still are) the backbone of a bunch of different streaming networks just since they had already put the work in and other leagues signed deals to use their stuff?

Just random things you wouldn't even think about being associated with baseball.

Correct. Across all of Iowa, the Cubs, White Sox, Brewers, Twins, Cardinals and Royals are blacked out on MLB.tv, so ever since I moved back to Dubuque two-plus years ago, I stopped seeing a reason for MLB.tv.

They gave him so much padding but didn't just make him hilariously caked out. It's a shame

Thanks! I did this quick in an app on my phone, to make it a Discord sticker. The roughness is muted in that context.
