All Rob Lowe wants is to watch the NFL playoffs on DirecTV.
Who would think it would be so hard for the star pitchman for the television provider. He certainly didn't.
During Saturday's divisional-round game between the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks, Lowe offered a pitch for a new DirecTV commercial:
Hi, I'm Rob Lowe. And I'M "Screwed Over" Rob Lowe, with @DIRECTV that cuts off my abiliy to watch NFL games during the playoffs! @FOXTV

Hey @FOXTV and @DIRECTV how many shows and commercials do I need to do for you to be able to watch football that I've already paid for?
