NFL giving fans free access to NFL Sunday Ticket and NFL Redzone Channel this Sunday

It looks like I won’t be the only one enjoying DirecTV’s NFL Sunday Ticket for free this weekend.

The NFL has decided to give away all of its subscription content this Sunday. That means free NFL Sunday Ticket for DirecTV subscribers, and free NFL Redzone channel for everyone else.

ProFootballTalk.com brought up the fact that people who paid for an NFL Sunday Ticket subscription have the right to call DirecTV and ask for a 1/17 refund since the product they paid $334.95 for (or about $19.70 per week) is being given away for free.

And I definitely would call, but according to my admittedly weak math skills, 1/17 of the $0.00 I paid for my NFL Sunday Ticket subscription isn’t worth waiting on hold.

The NFL’s also giving away SiriusXM NFL Radio to XM Select Package subscribers and free shipping for all NFLShop.com orders. I was shocked to discover that SiriusXM still existed. I just assumed they went out of business after I canceled my subscription.

The NFL says they’re doing this to thank fans (presumably for sticking with them through the lockout) with more football for free.

It’s the first thing Roger Goodell has done that I agree with since he took over as NFL Commissioner.
