Sling TV launches flexible passes ahead of football season
On August 12, 2025, a little over a decade since it first launched, Sling TV announced that customers could now get the streaming service in day, weekend, or weeklong passes. Sling's traditional month-to-month subscriptions, which start at $45.99 a month, are still available, and new customers now also have the option to prepay for a five-month-long pass, a discounted option meant for those hoping to stream a full sports season.
Sling TV 's Day Pass (24 hours) costs $4.99, the Weekend Pass (Friday through Sunday) costs $9.99, and the Week Pass (seven days) costs $14.99. Fans can also tack on the extra channels found in Sling's many add-ons (including the Sports Extra) to these flex passes. The extras each cost an additional $1 when added to the Day Pass, $2 for the Weekend Pass, and $3 for the Week Pass. The Sling Orange and Blue five-month season-long passes cost $199 each, but subscribing to the season pass for the Sling Orange + Blue combo plan (normally $60.99 a month) costs $274.
The new day, weekend, and week passes unlock popular Sling TV channels in the Orange plan, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, and ESPN4K. Orange offers 34 total live channels, including TNT and TBS, making it a solid sports streaming service for fans across a variety of leagues. Sling ranks among the best live TV streaming services we've tested, known for its essentials, flexibility, and affordable starting prices.
Live TV streaming services, which offer live channel packages meant to rival cable without any of the long-term contracts, have increasingly begun to venture into cheaper, more flexible packages. DirecTV launched a slew of genre packs earlier this year that offer specific selections of channels at a cheaper rate than the service's signature packages, including a sports-centric option. Sports streaming giant Fubo is also planning to launch a smaller sports-only package soon.

Dad Describes What Makes Orange Cats So Unique and People Can't Stop Laughing
Dad Describes What Makes Orange Cats So Unique and People Can't Stop Laughing originally appeared on PetHelpful. If you have an orange cat at home, you know that many of them have different personalities from other cats. For some reason, they always seem to be funnier, more demanding, and far quirkier than your average cat. And people love watching and hearing about orange cat antics, as you'll see in this video that orange cat dad TikToker @renusdelph shared recently. Renus has an orange cat who loves to be held in a unique position - he likes his dad to hold him on his back so he's upside down. Make sure your sound is on so you can hear Renus describe what makes orange cats so unique; you'll be laughing by the end of the video! We can't quit laughing at how chill this cat is is! Renus' description painted the perfect mental picture, all while watching the orange cat watch down!Commenters Stories About Their Own Funny Orange Cats Viewers left some funny comments and stories about orange cats. @Enything the Gremlin was spot on when they said, "Orange is an affliction." @muchtooyoungtofeelthisdamnold added, "That's because all orange cats share a single brain cell," and @Ashuri shared, "Mine sometimes has thoughts..." We couldn't help but laugh when @Porsche said, "No thoughts. Elevator music behind eyes." @maxxfarmer63 suggested, "Try tuxedo cats, same thing." Commenter @White Trash Witch talked about her orange cat, "My orange cat is terrified of the microwave and pop top cans. They are definitely a whole other breed LOL!" @connieboren186 cracked us up with, "Little Pumpkin Trip Hazard here was feral this spring. But he got a hold of a brain cell and realized inside is not bad." Viewer @kyriemason0 made us laugh with, 'My orange is also weird. He likes to face plant the back of the couch." @GPM admitted, "I would like to trade places with him… just for a day… his level of oblivion sounds sooo nice!" It would be a great way to get away from it all! Psychology Today shared one reason why orange cats might be different from other cats, "Yet, there are other plausible reasons why orange cats may be more affectionate. The gene responsible for the orange color is sex-linked, resulting in a much higher likelihood that an orange cat will be male versus female. Although the research is far from definitive, male cats have been said to be slightly friendlier than female cats, which could explain the loving nature of orange cats." This explanation might not explain why they're so goofy, but it might explain why everybody loves them!
