Not necessarily true, and those who are DVRing the games in order to watch multiple games at the same time don't necessarily care if they are in sync with the live feed.
YTTV doesn't support "watch parties" so this doesn't really enter into a multi-site viewing arrangement such as JoeTheDragon is talking about.
 
I don't see anything in his post about "watch parties".
His post mentions texting others at different locations (maybe even at the game) that are also watching the game. That's the old-school version of a "watch party".

YouTube says they're planning on facilitating similar interaction within the NFLST product.
 
Yes, Alphabet has a lot of ways to monetize the product other than just the subscription revenue itself.
As did DIRECTV. DIRECTV's monetization was selling satellite package subscriptions.
 
Not NFL Sunday Ticket related, but the NFL announced today that it will offer its NFL Game Pass International package via DAZN over a 10-year deal.

Game Pass International streams all regular season and postseason games to customers outside of the United States. Pricing and real core details were not yet made available in the release from the NFL.

He talks extensively about NFLST and though he sounds great when he speaks-- his statements are scattered and not particularly well thought out when it comes to NFLST. Honestly, though he sounds intelligent, he's more or less just winging it when it comes to NFLST product features and changes. This supports the claims of many of you here on this forum that when it comes to NFLST thoughts around product quality take a back-seat vs the priority of maximizing revenue.
 
some key spots occur 11-00 to 13:00:
11:00-- YouTube a l carte and add-on to YoubeTV
11:30-- first two product enhancements mentioned are "interactive features" and small-screen
11:50-- NFLST light: he downplays team-by-team and instead refers to just fewer games; perhaps more half-season type things.
12:40-- No price set. States declaratively that NFLST is a premium, additive product.

Just took a listen, thanks for sharing it. It's a lot of dancing with words, as you mentioned. But I wouldn't expect him to announce a price point, or any major news or new updates to NFLST in a capacity that didn't initially come from league communications. I did appreciate that he was pretty honest about Pro Bowl activities, and acknowledging that some people likely didn't enjoy that product.
 
Nice. A lot of direct from the source information on that page.

NFL Sunday Ticket will be available for non-commercial use. Embargo restrictions apply.

Bundled or standalone, both with and without Red Zone (the description notes Scott Hanson as host).

"The 2023 regular season begins on September 7, 2023 and access to NFL Sunday Ticket begins on September 10, 2023."

"Blackout disclaimers: You will generally receive out-of-market Sunday afternoon games unless the game is locally broadcast. Your billing address (zip code) is associated with your streaming access. However, due to NFL rules, you might also see blackout restrictions based on your mobile device’s location (e.g., subscribers might not be able to stream while attending an NFL game or surrounding stadium areas). If there is an outage in your location, we’ll do our best to let you know."
