ComCast and Sunday Ticket

Get a load of this.........I'm moving into my shoebox apartment on the first of June. I have to cancel Directv because the apartment complex only deals with ComCast. I thought I was going to lose Sunday Ticket

But I just talked to the guy from ComCast and he said.....ComCast is getting ready to claim the rights to Sunday Ticket!!!!!!!!!!

What luck!!!!!!!!

Plus I'll be getting the cable broadband from ComCast, which they recently upgraded, so it's now a staggering 20 times faster than my DSL connection with Quest!!


This is just a couple of the things that are falling into place for me this month as I prepare my move. I'm very excited about the rest of this year and next year. I'm gonna make the BUCKS

I'll beleive that when I see it Mighty.... I remember when my buddy was trying to choose between DISH and Directv the numbnuts for DISH actually told him that they were buying Directv and would have Sunday Ticket as well...

Directv has Sunday Ticket locked up exclusively for YEARS... BUT Diectv is coiming out with Directv mobile this summer... a totally sefl-contained Directtv system with monitor and a super mini-dish that they pobably wouldn't be able to see in a complex.

Direct Tv called me last night..I double checked with them about the NFL Ticket, they assured me that they would be carrying the Ticket..You had me nervous with this ConCast diddy Mighty..I cant get cable, I would have been screwed.

Well, hells bells.........the guy from comcast was talking like it was almost a done deal. We don't know who to believe, because if Directv really is going to lose ST, then they sure as hell wouldn't admit it, right? They would lose business right away. The comcast guy said they would announce the change-over as soon as the deal is done.


Who knows.


Personally, I'd rather directv keep it, because I really like their programming. If they do keep the venerable Ticket, then I'll be stuck watching the network broadcasts on comcast

But at least the Colts have a handful of nationally televised primetime games this year

God Damn it Mighty now you got me thinking.

Last year, it was right after the draft that we got to order the Ticket as an early bird special, hell I was done paying for it by Week 1 of the season. havent seen any commercials yet on the NFL Channel advertising it,,

That's true.....I haven't received anything from Directv. Usually they're promoting Ticket every 30 seconds right now, eh? I haven't seen or heard jack. The comcast guy told me that they've been working on a deal for the last 6 months, and it should be finalized before the start of the season.....I'm just telling you what the guy told me. But he also said it's not a sure thing, that anything can happen, but that comcast is very confident they'll get the rights to Ticket.

I have to talk to the dude again in a few days to set up my package, so I'll bend him over and pump him for more info I'll mention to him that Directv is contracted until 2010......we'll see what he says about that.

Like I said....I kinda hope Directv keeps it. They have good programming and I'll be going back to them when I'm set up in Vegas before the 2008 season.......unless comcast really DOES score Sunday Ticket.....then I'll have to stick with them.

By the way, the comcast guy also told me that Directv is planning on going in different directions and doing different things with their service packages, including phone connections.....so he made it sound like Directv may be looking to get out of it's contract with ST.

Who knows.......

Well guys if you just click on the link at the top of this page, Directv is selling Sunday Ticket for next season as we speak...
