A Good Jew
Senator Arlen Specter is going after the NFL and DirecTV over their exclusivity deal that prevents any competitor from carrying the NFL Sunday ticket. Clearly this practice is anti-competitive and should be prevented. The one thing I can't understand is why the NFL thinks the money they are getting from DirecTV would be more than they would get from giving the Ticket broader distribution.

Its called price fixing... If they keep out the competition, they don't have to price the product down...
Actually, its the surprisingly powerful sports bar lobby. They are very much against the NFL granting ticket access to every cable provider because it forces fans who really don't want to switch cable systems to come to them to see the games.
An even bigger scam... Yahoo! offers mlb.tv like NFL coverage for a whopping 300 bucks, but only if you live outside the greater 48.
