You can now watch
NFL football over the interwebs, free from regional restrictions! Excited? We thought so -- here's what you'll need. First, sign up for
DirecTV's Sunday Ticket ($269/year). Second, add in the "SuperFan" program (an additional $99/year). Third, you'll need a
Windows PC (sorry Mac users). Once all that is squared away, you can enjoy watching live games webwide in Internet Explorer. Meh, says we, especially when you look at
MLB.TV. Admittedly, the SuperFan package is required for HD delivery of the games on DirecTV anyways (which the internet feed definitely won't be), so chances are that football nuts may already have these packages lined up. The NFL is keeping tight control over their content, but this is a step in the right direction. Meanwhile, "misplacing" a
Slingbox at your buddy's place in another region is looking better and better.

Wait a minute... Did I read this correctly?
The SuperFan $99 addition is required to view the games in HD? I didn't know that!

Yes it is; what a ripoff!

Yep, they rip you off any way they can. I already pay $9.99 a month for HD content and then they want an extra $99 for the NFL in HD and another $99 for MLB in HD.
As soon as my contract is up I'm out.
