First they gave us the glorious RedZone Channel on cable, and now they’re going to beam it directly to our cellphones. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the NFL intends to launch a mobile version of the channel in time for next season, which would be pretty f*cking awesome for everybody. Everybody except for CBS and Fox that is. Quoth CBS’s Sean McManus, “RedZone hasn’t hurt us yet, but we watch it very closely…” And as soon as it becomes too popular we will STOMP ON ITS NECK UNTIL IT STOPS TWITCHING. So yeah, good news for now, but let’s keep it between us. [WSJ]

Even on the tiny screen of my phone Josh McDaniels will still be a giant dickhead.
(Football player shown actual size for comparison purposes)
We call you “normies.”
I knew it.
@Drave:
Even on a tiny screen Goose would still weigh in at a deuce and half.
And darren actually looks bigger than usual.

I bet you don’t get the full uplifting impact of Tony Romo’s smiles on a cell phone.
**NOW HIRING**
CBS HENCHMEN
Hours: Sundays from 1-8 ET
Duties include confiscation of cell phones held by parties viewing such devices for more than 1 hour at a time.
Hardball experience preferred. Nazi experience not required, but desired. Knowledge in the art of drowning puppies a plus.
Please contact Sean McManus if interested.
There’s an app on the iPhone that lets you watch Sunday Ticket games, but only if you already have Sunday Ticket.
And it is the greatest thing in the history of great things.
Those of us who have it pity the rest of you. We call you “normies.”
Q: How do you make Tony Siragusa weigh less than 200 pounds?
A: Show him on a very tiny screen
Just plan your life around football, people. It’s not that fucking hard. I have three kids and I haven’t missed an NFL broadcast since the great storm of ’86.
In other news, I love how they bend and contort and flow the keypad so that you have to actually look at the damned thing to know what number you’re hitting. Because if I have to choose between artsy and functional for a tactile input, I’ll fucking go with artsy! Hell, why not make them a line down the side of the phone while you’re at it? At least then there’d be a worthwhile pattern to it.
Companies are fucking retarded.
Sunday Ticket Mobile is awesome. Not only does it have all the games available but it has DTV’s RZC available as well.
Needs a better host than Andrew Siciliano, dude can’t get a damn thing right…
Now we’ve got something to shove in the alien’s faces when they come visit us with their “superior technology.”

/Damn you DirecTV
Say hello to giant cell phones that you can mount on your wall.
Who makes Juergen’s hand creme?
Because I want to buy stock in that company, because this news will cause fantasy football players to increase their jerking off ferocity until training camps start.
why can’t they send images of young asian schoolgirls to my cellphone instead?
I have NBA League Pass Mobile, and I use it every single day. This would have fixed many of my Sundays spent on planes or in cars this past season.
Can I watch her on my phone?
Nah…I know the difference between sex and football. Now Monkey Business on the other hand….
Just pointing out how bad my “cable provider” sucks.
McManus then added, “we will continue to determine our national games based on total combined merchandise sales of both teams instead of actually asking ourselves if this match up will make for an entertaining football game. Moreover, we will enter into even more convoluted agreements to make sure we can’t switch to close games when the game you’re watching, which doesn’t involve your local team, turns into a total shit-show. Finally, we’ll do our best to limit to the total amount of football you can watch and strive to have more Sundays where you only get one game on our channel and one game on Fox.”
GotU, I think you have redzone confused with redtube.
Redzone channel? Is that the new SpiceTV?
//Or some crappy mom and pop outfit, UU
“holy crap REDZONE CHANNEL ON CABLE PEOPLE”
unless you have Time Warner
