NFL App. Commercial with The Bionic!!!

Apparently 4G LTE customers are getting NFL mobile for free...which is an insanely good deal. I feel like there must be some catch...

Careful, Verizon has offered it in the past and about 10 days in tries to charge you a monthly fee for it. At least that is what happened to me... You could still access it free, but if you wanted streaming video, they wanted my cash.

For last NFL season, if you downloaded the app by a certain date, it was free. If downloaded after that date, you had to pay. I was fortunate enough to have downloaded it for Draft coverage, so I didn't have to pay. Not sure how they are working it this year. I might pay for it anyway if I have to. It's nice to have Red Zone on my phone while I watch another game.

But the most insulting element of the commercial is the idea that Mark Sanchez can throw a football that accurately.
^
The first thing that came to my mind.

You have to be a pats fan because the sanchise is a hero

He's your hero; yet, you butchered the spelling of his name? LOL. I mean, not even close.

Agreed! Should of picked Aaron Rodgers .... :p

Hey, be happy. They would have made the Bionic more expensive because they would have had to pay Rodgers 20x more money. They probably went out to find a quarterback that would do the commerical for the least amount of money: Sanchez.

Sanchize? More like dirty sanchez? He sucks! An dnot only is he inacurate he can throw that far or with that much velocity!!

He doesn't suck. He's just not good. LOL. I guess it could mean one of the same.

Verizon and NFL Team Up Again, Free NFL Mobile Premium Access to 4G LTE Customers - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

This is how they are doing it this year...FREE**

** which means not charging the $10 a month for the Vcast Video portion for 4G LTE customers, but Data rates still apply.

Well, since we're all football fans, let me go ahead and throw this lil nugget out there. At Costco, not only do we have a great deal on our phones, but also we sell DirecTV. You probably heard about getting the NFL Sunday Ticket for free. But if you sign up, you also get a $180 Costco Cash Card. Might just help pay for that Bionic. ;)
