Thing that irritates me,and I've complained a few times,is that they show the scores from the other matches.
This is a huge spoiler when I want to watch games without knowing the score.
The trick that I do is form a piece of cardboard to fit across the ribbon scores at the bottom of the screen and affix it at both ends with tape.
You have to do this every week though.
And the price has increased due to the Aussie dollar being below the yank $.
I paid $177 AUD.But I didn't get the add-on year round package.
But you can see how much $ interest Hayne has attracted.Methinks most of these people that bought a subscription have really jumped the gun,and ehould have waited until the middle of next week to see if he makes the roster.
And people have to understand,even if he makes the cut,IMO he will make the practice squad.
Practice squad basics
- Each NFL team can have up to eight players on their practice squad.
- Practice squad players ... practice with the team. They do not play in games.
- Not all players are eligible to be signed to NFL practice squads (more on that below).
- Practice squad players are paid per week and can be released at any point during the season.
- Practice squad players are free to sign with other NFL teams, assuming they are signed to the 53-man active roster. A practice squad player cannot be signed to another practice squad unless he is first released.
- A practice squad player can not sign with their team's upcoming opponent, unless they do so six days before the upcoming game or 10 days if their team is currently on a bye week.
- If a practice squad player is signed to the active roster, they will receiver a minimum of three paychecks, even if they are released before spending three weeks with the team.
- In order to be signed to a practice squad after being released, a player must first clear through waivers.
Eligibility
Practice squads are considered to be for developmental purposes. Therefore, veterans are not eligible to be signed to the practice squad. Here is a closer look at the eligibility requirements.
- A player is eligible if he does not have an accrued season of NFL experience. Players gain an accrued season by being on the active roster for at least six games.
- If a player has one accrued season, they can still be practice squad eligible if they were on the 45-man active gameday roster for less than nine regular season games.
- A player is deemed to have served a season on the practice squad if he remains on the practice squad for at least three weeks. Players are eligible to be on the practice squad for two seasons.
- Players can be eligible for a third practice squad season if their team maintains no less than 53 players on the active/inactive list at all times.
