Direct TV NFL Sunday Ticket "Shortcuts"

Sunday Ticket will be showing the Steelers/Colts game in a 30 minute package (all times PDT) at 11pm tonight; 3 am Monday and 1 pm Monday. For those not familiar - they take each game and reduce it to 30 minutes and show every single play and a few penalties to fill in time. This format even makes a boring 3-0 game seem rather fast paced and exciting. I can't wait to see the replay of the game today in 30 minutes. Probably equivalent to what Stephen Wright said - "I put instant coffee in the microwave and actually went back in time".

NFL Channel will show the game also in the 30 minute Game Rewind format Monday at 10am (PDT) - not sure if this is the same product as Direct TV's version.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

It's not the same. It's not quite as good. DirecTV's Short Cuts has no commercials, so they show literally every play. NFL Network's Game Rewind skips plays all over, including entire drives they deem less important. But... it's free if you have NFL Network!

Every year I get Sunday Ticket, and the Short Cuts are a big part of why. It's so I can go back and grade everyone at season's end. This year they effectively doubled the price (from what I'd been paying), so I opted out, and now I'm going to buy the much, much cheaper Game Rewind on NFL.com, which I believe has the same product - plus you have more than one camera angle to choose from.
