WTF: DirecTV Will Air NFL Network Games From Blimps
12/12/07

According to Michael Heistand of USA Today (via Sports by Brooks) DirecTV will air NFL Network games over blacked out cities by way of blimp. Yes, blimp. I'm dumbfounded.
So if you live in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area and have interest in the Broncos-Texans game this Thursday you can tailgate from your own front yard. If you're one of these people I beg for pictures Friday morning."DirecTV, a satellite TV provider, will announce Wednesday the most imaginative tactic in the hubbub over how viewers might get NFL games that air on the NFL Network. DirecTV will show them on the giant video screen on its blimp as it flies above towns whose cable operators don't carry the league's channel.
Don't laugh. TV sports on a blimp probably will be as good as other platforms for TV sports — such as the tiny screens on cellphones — that have emerged through the miracle of technology. The appeal of DirecTV's idea could blossom, eventually, if viewers would be able to shadow its blimp on giant inflatable couches."
