That there NFL RedZone, it’s somethin’ else, ain’t it? Keeps ya on the edge of yer seat, that’s for sure. My grandson, he’s always glued to it. Says it’s the best way to watch football. Me? I just like seein’ a good game, but he says this RedZone thing shows all the good parts. He tried to explain it to me once, sayin’ it’s all the touchdowns and big plays. Sounds excitin’, I reckon.

Now, we got that there DirecTV at home. Big ol’ dish out back. Gets us a whole mess of channels. My grandson, he found out about this NFL RedZone on there somewhere. He was hootin’ and hollerin’ about it for weeks. Said we had to get it. Somethin’ about a special package or somethin’. I don’t know about all that. Too many buttons on that remote for me.
He kept pesterin’ me, though. Said all his friends had it. He wanted to watch it at home, not at Jimmy’s house. So, I finally gave in. Called up that DirecTV fella. He talked a mile a minute, sayin’ all sorts of things about packages and deals. I just wanted to watch my stories. My grandson helped me out and talk with that fella.
- NFL RedZone on DirecTV, that’s what he kept sayin’.
- Said it was channel 703 or somethin’.
- Had to get some special package. Sports package, I think it was.
Well, we got it. Cost a little extra each month, but that boy sure is happy. He’s in there every Sunday, glued to that TV. Yellin’ and screamin’ like a wild man. I just shake my head and go back to my knittin’. As long as he’s happy, I guess. He says NFL RedZone shows every touchdown from every game. That’s a lot of touchdowns.
He says there’s another way to get it too, somethin’ called “NFL plus premium”. Sounds like another one of them fancy things to me. He says you can get it on your phone, through that app thing. I don’t know nothin’ about no apps. I told him I just wanted to get it on my TV, not any phone. My eyes ain’t what they used to be. No way I’m watching football on that tiny little screen.
I think this here NFL RedZone for DirecTV is only on Sundays durin’ football season. That’s what he said, least. I don’t know why you need another thing to watch football. Seems like they got football on every day of the week now. If you got DirecTV, though, and you like that NFL RedZone, guess that is how you watch all the touchdowns, like my grandson says. He keeps saying that word, “touchdown.”

He said that popular TV or ultimate TV can get that there RedZone thing. I don’t know what that is but he said we have it already. He just wanted that there NFL RedZone. He kept sayin’ somethin’ about “fantasy football.” Sounds like a made-up game to me. But he and his friends, they all get together and talk about it. They even have a little trophy they give out to the winner. Keeps ’em busy, I suppose.
One time, he tried to show me how it all worked. Showed me all these different games goin’ on at the same time. It was too much for me. I like watchin’ one game at a time. But he loves it. Says it’s the best thing since sliced bread. And he says that NFL RedZone on DirecTV is the best way to watch it. Maybe that is true. I don’t know.
- That boy sure loves his NFL RedZone.
- Says it’s worth every penny.
- He says “thank you grandma” all the time for gettin’ it.
So, if you’re thinkin’ about gettin’ that there NFL RedZone for DirecTV, I guess it’s alright. Just be prepared for a lot of yellin’ and screamin’ on Sundays. And maybe learn a thing or two about “fantasy football.” I still don’t understand it, but it makes that boy happy. And that’s all that really matters, ain’t it? That and my stories. As long as I got my stories, I’m happy.
