So, you like football and you like your Sprint cellphone.  Unfortunately, you are not always home during the big game, or you don’t get the NFL channel where they broadcast a bunch of games per season and so you miss those big games.  Now, you can enjoy all the football games on NFL’s exclusive channel straight from your Sprint phone. 

The deal signed by NFL and Sprint started back in 2005 and they have now reached another agreement for Sprint to carry the 40% of games the NFL channel shows.  The first game available on a Sprint phone will be tonight (11/6/08) with the Cleveland Browns playing the Denver Broncos.  It’s unfortunate that the NFL season has already started, and so Sprint won’t be able to carry every game, but they will continue carrying the 8 games on the NFL network over the next 7 weeks. . . .
