Giving up on DirecTV sports packages
I've subscribed to DirecTV's NFL and NBA season passes the past few years, but I won't do it again. The leagues, or the franchise owners, have gotten too greedy. Couldn't watch the Giants-Eagles game yesterday because it was blacked out here -- 3,000 miles away -- due to its being shown on a pay-per-view Fox sports channel. Can't watch the Mavericks-Kings game tonight because it's being shown on a pay-per-view Comcast channel. That never seemed to happen in years past. You subscribe to a league, and you expect to see the games -- without ponying up even more.

I pay extra for Sports package. I can't get certain games due to a blackout. I live at least 1000 miles away from where the game is televised.I think MLB is a ripoff.
