Not that the Chiefs will be playing in a Sunday night game this year, but I am glad to see the NFL try to keep up with technology.  It was great getting to watch the NCAA tourney online and now we can do the same for Sunday Night Football.

From L.A. Times

    The National Football League, signaling a major shift in strategy, will stream live broadcasts of Sunday-night football games beginning in September, making the contests widely available on the Internet for the first time.

    For much of its history, the NFL has kept a tight grip on the rights to its games and the use of its images. But with more consumers, particularly younger viewers, turning to their computers for entertainment, the NFL wants to steer the nation’s most popular television sport into the digital age.
