  1. Free NFL Sunday Ticket by Satan's_Tool · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Now, all I have to do is find someone that lives in the area of my favorite football team. Have them record the game being broadcast on their local TV station (CBS or FOX).....shoot it over and I just saved $219 from buying the NFL Sunday Ticket.
