It's been mentioned before that MLB and MLBTV with it's internet sales has been a huge boon for MLB in terms of revenue. The NFL could really do well with a NFL T.V. type setup for the weekend fantasy poolie who will sit at his computer for 6 hours on a Sunday with dual monitors wanting to watch 4 games at once and follow his fantasy teams at the same time.
Are you looking in through my windows? Dont make me get a restraining order against you.

seriously though, I dont actually follow football that closely, I'm a marginal Steelers fan at best. But I find the business of professional sports interesting and the NFL is a prime example.
