Does that have something to do with Network TV having NFL rights while for basketball or baseball packages it is all regional sports networks?

It has to do with Directv paying a kajillion dollars to have "exclusive rights" to the NFL package for the next 5 years. I don't remember the exact contract but i'll tell ya it's a lot of pick-6's...
