NFL & Sprint

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.

Define "shortly after" - it's week 4 now...

Shortly after the kickoff of the 2005 NFL season, Sprint will deliver exclusive and original NFL content to mobile phones in new and compelling formats. Recognizing the needs of an increasingly mobile lifestyle, the arrangement delivers on customers' demands for instant gridiron gratification.

For the first time, original live and exclusive content is being developed from the two organizations as part of the agreement. The following outlines the unique content areas of the deal:

Exclusive game highlights/live updates: Only Sprint customers will receive audio and video highlights following the conclusion of the game broadcast window. During the game window, Sprint will distribute audio highlights, live text updates, scores and statistics.

Live video -- NFL Network: Sprint will deliver live NFL Network programming as well as news updates, weekly features, press conferences and daily features from the flagship "Total Access " show.

Video on demand -- NFL and Sprint Films: The NFL will tap its vast NFL Films' archive to provide Super Bowl highlights and other packages, including "The Best of NFL Films." For the first time in history, Sprint and the NFL will partner to produce original content for fans.

Fantasy Football: NFL fans will be able to manage and monitor their fantasy football team, have access to real-time statistics and highlights of their players -- all via the Sprint network.
Ring Tones/Screensavers/Wallpaper: Sprint will distribute ring tones, screensavers and wallpaper, including exclusive product related to major NFL events, such as the NFL Draft and Super Bowl.


Polls, contests and sweepstakes: Sprint and the NFL will engage in wireless polling, sweepstakes and contests. Fans will be able to vote for Pro Bowl selections and Super Bowl MVP via the Sprint network.

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.

I think I'll stick with Yahoo! too. It seems to update within 2-3 minutes of any fantasy scoring.

So if you text NFL to 7777 you get a link back to http://sprint.com/NFL1 and our 6700's can't view it
