NFL+ vs. NFL+ Premium: A Hilarious Head-to-Head for the Clueless Fan (That's You!)
Ah, the NFL. Land of touchdowns, interceptions, and enough acronyms to make your head spin faster than a Russell Wilson scramble. But fear not, confused comrade, for today we delve into the mysterious world of NFL+ and NFL+ Premium. Buckle up, buttercup, because this is about to get funnier than a fumble recovery for a touchdown (yes, those exist, look it up).
First things first: They're both NFL, right?
Bingo! Both services offer a buffet of NFL goodness, like live primetime and local games (think Thursday Night Football and your beloved hometown heroes), a treasure trove of on-demand content, and enough NFL Films to keep you occupied longer than a Rob Gronkowski retirement announcement.
So, what's the difference? It's like choosing between ketchup and mustard, right?
Wrong! This ain't no condiment conundrum. Here's the juicy breakdown:
NFL+ (the "Basic Bro" option):
- Price: A cool $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Easy on the wallet, like Ryan Fitzpatrick's throwing accuracy.
- What you get: Live primetime and local games, on-demand highlights, NFL Films (think epic documentaries and classic games). Basically, the NFL appetizer platter.
- What you don't get: No full game replays, no condensed games (perfect for those with short attention spans), no NFL Network (home to NFL RedZone and other cool shows), and no Coaches Film (dissecting plays like a football Sherlock Holmes).
NFL+ Premium (the "Touchdown Tom" option):
- Price: $9.99/month or $79.99/year. A bit pricier, but hey, Tom Brady doesn't win seven Super Bowls on pocket change.
- What you get: Everything in the "Basic Bro" package, PLUS:
- Full game replays (relive the glory, or the horror, of every snap)
- Condensed games (get your football fix in fast-forward mode)
- NFL Network (including the legendary NFL RedZone, showing every touchdown from every game in real-time)
- Coaches Film (become a football mastermind by analyzing plays like the pros)
- What you don't get: Still no access to out-of-market games (sorry, gotta cough up for cable or another service for that).
So, which one's right for you?
Are you a casual fan who just wants to catch the occasional game and relive the highlights? Stick with the Basic Bro option. But if you're a die-hard who craves every ounce of football knowledge and doesn't mind spending a little more, Premium is your touchdown zone.
Remember: This is just a lighthearted guide. Do your research, weigh your options, and choose the NFL+ experience that fits your fandom and budget. And hey, if you're still confused, just blame it on Deflategate. Nobody will judge.
Bonus Tip: If you're a student, you can score a discount on NFL+ Premium. Because, let's face it, textbooks are expensive enough.
Now go forth and enjoy the NFL season, my friend! Just don't blame me if you get so into Coaches Film that you start yelling at your TV like a real coach. (But hey, at least you'll know what you're yelling about!)
