Just did the same thing myself. Unfortunately its for the whole season, those bastards Real One have their fingers in everything. I would,nt mind paying the money, but they are only covering 200+ games. Then they will shaft you for the playoffs and give you untold grief everytime you log on with pop-ups, redirecting you to their sites etc. The only hope is the NFL get fed up with their business tricks and realise its not in their interests.

I'm finding I can end-run the Real Network system on the preseason games. Was able to find the Dolphins game last night and the Lions game today by running a Google search for the team names's radio network. Then run a search on the flagship's call letters and see if there is a "listen live" tag on their web site. If you fail and are so inclined, try some of the other stations. You may need to download software for some, but seeing a common denominator. Here are links to the ones I've tracked down so far:

Steelers:
http://www.970theburgh.com/main.html

Bengals:
http://www.1360homer.com/main.html

Jagulars:
http://wokv.com

Falcons:

Ravens:

No. NFL.COM is now subscription only. I followed the Bengals thread supplied by Rudy yesterday and had no problem after downloading the software.

Only lasts forever,

You are asking the same question several times, which makes us Brits look silly to our friends across the pond. NFL.COM radio is now subscription only. Start posting threads that show why we ruled the world 200 years ago.

You have to follow Rudy's advice, no matter what you have , you cannot get live games without subs.

A couple stations I found have been blacking out the football games on the internet feed, but if I remember history correctly, if you're listening before blackout time it doesn't boot you off. The Jagulars link that worked last week didn't work last night, so beware. Found Miami and Seattle links that were also blacked out last night, so they may be getting wise to us. Panther's idea may be best: take the free trial, pay for one month and then cancel.
