Will Droid/Android see any of this?

Do you think it will be proprietary for dumb phones only (running v-cast) or do you think they will make the content available to Android Phones?

Thoughts?

NFL reaches deal with Verizon Wireless; will put Red Zone Channel on mobile phones - The Huddle: Football News from the NFL - USATODAY.com

Good news for Verizon Wireless customers who are also football fans: The phone giant is now the official wireless service of the NFL.

The league reached a four-year deal with Verizon Wireless that will make NFL properties -- including live games -- available on the wireless network. The popular NFL Red Zone Channel and live games broadcast on the NFL Network will be among the offerings available to Verizon.

The deal will begin with the NFL draft next month.

Verizon replaces Sprint as the league's official wireless carrier.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Verizon Wireless reached a $720 million deal with the NFL. Verizon executive VP and chief marketing officer John Stratton told the Journal the company "will price the service in the coming weeks." -- Sean Leahy

Supposedly V-cast is in the works for Droid.. I'll be pleased if/when that happens, it was the best feature on my Voyager.

Agreed. I watched a lot of Vcast on my Voyager. I was pretty disappointed when I couldn't get Vcast on my Droid. I really hope we get live NFL games!!!
