Injured Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen turned to an illegal stream to watch his teammates Sunday. Most anyone who has tried to stream legally can sympathize.
My dad pays for the NFL.com package and YouTubeTV (not premium, and even more expensive package than that) so he can watch all the games. I dread every season because of the inevitable bitching about one or both services.
He has an elastic band he puts up to block the score ticker on the bottom of the screen, and he’s constantly terrified that they’ll cut away from the current game for an update on another one he hasn’t watched yet.
I feel like there’s a real market for the old Red Zone channel that DirectTV used to do. No commercials, no breaks, just snap, play until the whistle, then fast forward to the next snap. It only showed gameplay when one of the teams was in the red zone(hence the name), but I bet people like my dad would pay enough to offset the lost ad revenue if they covered the whole game like that.

Red zone is still a thing.
I now know what that actually is, and would also like to watch it. Games are so terribly slow with never-ending commercial breaks.
