Goodell says NFL is looking into streaming

I'm sure there will be more details later, but I was listening to his press conference on the NFL network and he said that they are looking into streaming possibilities to reach people who don't have traditional televisions and a worldwide audience. There was no timeline and not a lot of detail, but it bodes well that they are even talking about it.

Needless to say that would be awesome if they did it.

Some NFL Network website article a while back said it probably wouldn't happen until the current TV contract was up, in like eight or nine friggin' years. Don't hold your breath.

streaming actually means pissing contests in this case, believe it or not

I just hope they're wise enough to take Dr. Spengler's advice.

Can't really see how they're "looking into" the later given that they already do that. It's called NFL Game Pass. I moved to Canada for work last year and streamed all the games through the service.

A very good point. I am sure that they are looking into getting around the contract they signed with Directv.

There's already some excellent HD streaming available, maybe not strictly legal but hey ho, works in the UK
