PFT- Sunday Ticket isn’t getting cheaper. It’s getting more expensive. Depending on where you buy it. Via John Ourand of Puck.news, the out-of-market game package is now available via the Apple app store, for viewing on an iPad or iPhone. The cost? $679.99. Packaged with RedZone, it costs $739.99 per year. 

The league told Ourand that the pricing isn’t its business: “The NFL does not control the pricing of Sunday Ticket and does not set or receive any additional fees associated with its sale.” As Ourand notes, Apple takes a 30-percent fee for anything sold in its store. That fee has been built into the pricing.

LMAFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I know using some Nickey Smokesesque shorthand in a blog offends some people here, but I honestly don't have another rational way to react to that absurd price of Roger Goodell shoving his hand all the way up his customers asses in order to take every last dime from them. At this point, Goodell is essentially Dr. Evil and will go from asking for a million dollars to a billion dollars to 100 billion dollars to a million gazillion fafillion dollars in exchange for the privilege to watch a bunch of regular season NFL games.

Since I am lucky enough to watch my favorite team since I live in their home market (I use the word lucky very loosely since the last decade of Giants football hasn't exactly been a joy to watch), I don't really dabble in Sunday Ticket much. If my dumb brain somehow hasn't convinced itself the Giants are going to be good before a season, I will take some money out of my kids' college funds to watch teams that don't stink as well as yelling at the teams my fantasy players are on for not giving them the ball enough. But most of the time RedZone scratches the itch of watching competent football, even if it's like a football version of hammering down pounds of candy for 8 hours straight then feeling completely burnt out on the couch.

I couldn't imagine having to choose between a student loan payment or watching my favorite NFL team on Sunday on my overpriced Apple device (which I’m pretty sure doesn’t have the glorious quad box of YouTube TV), let alone the amount of absurd money bars have to fork over to play all the games at their local watering holes. I'd say the NFL doesn't care about the common folk, but let's be honest, that went out the window a loooooong time ago after the NFL named Roger Goodell as their new supreme chancellor. 

So for the people trying to make ends meet in this already fucked up economy looking for a way to watch their favorite NFL team play every Sunday, either start cutting corner to save money, start jerking some plasma into a cup at the local sperm bank, or start looking into some cheaper (ahem) streaming options.
