We're severely addicted to gambling on the NFL; we simply cannot get enough. The first "week" of this season will feature a Thursday night game, a full slate of games on Sunday, and two Monday night games, and we will try to watch as many plays as humanly possible. Unfortunately, we live in an apartment in Manhattan, and thus cannot get the NFL Sunday Ticket from DirecTV. So this leaves us with no other option than going to a sports bar to watch an untelevised, out of market game. If the NFL were like the NHL, though, they would be doing their fans a huge service and offer their games online.
The National Hockey League (NHL) has tapped NeuLion to power its new online video portal, which will offer live hockey games and is scheduled to rollout at the start of the 2007-08 season.
The new NHL Integrated Video Portal will be available via NHL.com and all of the 30 club sites. It will deliver live game content, video features, behind-the-scenes footage and game highlights that are viewable in multiple video windows or full screen.
A gimmick to attract a floundering fan base, or simply the kind-hearted benevolence of the NHL in action? Tough to decide. Either way, we're setting the over/under for paid subscriptions at four.
