NFL Ticket?

The NFL has been running commercials where they talk about big games from last season that people may have missed because they lived in the wrong place. Things like big running or passing games, big comebacks and the like. They talk about how you could improve things by buying the NFL ticket which allows you to watch live games from around the country.
I've purchased the MLB equivalent for many years because my favorite team plays in a different market. Never really tempted to buy the football one because a) it's really expensive and b) I can still watch a huge (virtually unhealthy) amount of football on local TV and cable.
Unfortunately, the local affiliates are working hard to change my mind. Right now there are two games on both right around the end of the third quarter. One is 38-3 and the other is 31-0. For the love of Goodell, switch to a different game! Last week they stuck with the Patriots 59-0 game all the way to the bitter end. Apparently there is no point at which they just declare a random out of town game as a blowout and move on.
Maybe I need a good sports bar.

Update: The FP Gal has solved the problem by turning the channel to a home design show.
