Interesting. Wonder how this will work.
 
Does this mean I can now watch all Patriots games without DirecTV or is this going to go off IP addresses and be locked down to regions?

At the time I responded there was no post with that information. Just tweet with no link in tweet. Then later merge happened bringing in the information you are now quoting.

I know it's 2015 and everyone is waiting for the Marty and Doc to show up, but I don't have a Delorean handy.

So no. I did not read or see the article he started the thread with since it didn't exist.

So it does suck as expected.

True story. Glad I edited mine before people hurt my feelings.

Shepard Smith ‏and a few others originally tweeted that cbs "announced" that they were going to show all its games online for free. Which turned out not to be the case.

2 whole regular season games? 
 
wow. 

 

[edmunddantes]

Yes. All doesn't mean what it used to mean. The original tweet was very very misleading.

Its a start.
 
The most hilarious thing would be if its still subject to local blackout.
