Funny, I don't remember an outcry when Sony entered a multiple hundred billion dollar partnership with a sport a lot of people don't give a shit about.

I usually watch NFL on my laptop and if I want to see stats, I look them up in another tab on NFL.com. Alternatively, you could use a laptop/tablet to check NFL.com for stats and highlights while you are watching the games on TV.

So what am I missing here? What exactly did Microsoft pay for that wasn't already available before?

You are watching sports on a laptop and ask what you are missing out?
Really?

I don't really feel like I'm missing out on anything honestly.

NFL isn't that only big in the states? It's basketball aye?

As much as I love the NBA and basketball in general the NFL is much bigger. I can see a NFL team in Europe in the near future most likely one in London.

...just imagine how many games you could have made with this money...what a waste...

At current budget levels? At least two. :P

That's the funny thing about Microsoft. They've got all the money in the world to throw wherever they want.
