He's from Bakersfield, what did you expect?

I've read about it.

NFL is back. Tom Brady, 6-7 on opening drive and TD pass.

213 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT 

21-16 Bucs at the half.

[Tank]

Good start to the season tonight. Brady is a unicorn.

[Brandon]

You know the season is back in full swing when the first game of the season has a controversial penalty/no call at the very end that changes the outcome of the game.

I heard that approximately 90% of the bettors were on TB last night.

I don’t have it for the season, but for the first Sunday of the season it’s kinda nice having NFL Red Zone.

Live the Red Zone. 7 hours of commercial free football.

There’s a lot to like about it. But I also found it too chaotic with all of the morning games and the constant moving back and forth from game to game to game. I felt like I had ADHD.

The first hour or so can be like that but once they start filtering out the blowouts and boring games it calms down. It's great when there are 4 or 5 games that are within one score halfway through the 4th. Also it's 7 hours of commercial free football.

The commercial-free part is definitely enticing.

Do they cut the price during the season?

Rams unveiling their “new” jerseys tonight. Great to see fans in the stands at home. They’ve also got a new paint scheme in the end zone, for those who notice such things.

[Tank]

Packers were completely taken apart by the saints today. That was tough to watch.

If you are watching via DTV, they usually cut the price in half at after week 9. So basically the same weekly price, but you only get the last half of the season.

Well that is Sunday Ticket, which includes the RDZ.

Yes, we have DTV, so this would be my option. The price would be the most important part of this for me.

Give them a call.  Sometimes they will give it to you for free if you sign a 2 year commit to having DTV.

Redzone is great and it's only $11 a month through sling.  I like the moving back and forth between games because with CBS/FOX you're stuck watching blowouts (until they switch to a more competitive game), the Cowboys who inevitably end up being the fox game of the week so many times a year or local teams you don't give a crap about.

I did not expect GB to get blown out by the Saints while they got absolutely nothing going on offense.  Pitt pulled out a big win on the road against Buffalo thanks to their D but I just don't see their offense or more specifically Ben doing enough to get them past a team like KC in the playoffs.  If the Rams can stay healthy and have at least an average run game they could be one of the top NFC seeds.  Arizona looked sloppy the first drive or two with way too many penalties on offense but they should be a lot of fun to watch.  Loving that football is back.

I've come around to RedZone. I'm not a big enough NFL fan to care too much, but I like to watch the games with my grandparents and it's their method and it's grown on me. I like their setup and presentation. I'm also super impressed they found a dude that sounds identical to that former host with the big ears that used to do ESPN radio here in LA.

I keep forgetting there is an extra game to the season now, but already a hole for some that people expected to be contenders. CLE, BUF, TEN, GB, and IND. AFC West looks like it will be a fun one.
