I was wondering if anyone knew of how or if this could be setup with our 6700's. I heard a commercial last Sunday when I watched my surprise Miami Dolphins beat the Carolina Panthers that sprint users can have scores of games delivered to there phones I am assuming via SMS. I have searched through NFL & SPRINT sites and could not find up where to sign up for this. I think its probably done through an actual vision phone but has anyone set this up on the 6700.
I use CBS Sportline for alerts which works great but was just wondering how sprint works I know they signed a big contract with the NFL before the season and its suppose to be pretty cool with fantasy stats and other stuff like that for us lucky sprint users. I would call sprint CS but thats a nightmare in itself as you all know and evertime I call I found something else wrong with my account. LOL!!!
Searching on Google (http://www.google.com/search?q=nfl+s...en-US:official) brings various articles on the deal, but nothing giving us relevant information on using it. I guess they havn't released it and I would also assume it would be through the vision homepage.

Yeah, that is pretty whack. For $3.99/season, Yahoo! will let me see all of my Fantasy Stats on any mobile as they happen. I mean, do I really need to know more than what my Fantasy team is doing? Scores and stats you can get already from many sites.
