AT&T (T 0.95%) is buying DirecTV (DTV.DL) for $49 billion and both of these stocks are down today. What does this say to investors?

Today on Investor Beat, Chris Hill and Motley Fool analyst Taylor Muckerman discuss the paid-tv deal that everyone's talking about. Taylor explains that the acquisition still hinges upon the Sunday ticket-that of the NFL. Yet, with Comcast (CMCSA 0.13%) shares still up after its deal with Time Warner Cable (NYSE: TWC), Taylor thinks that acquisitions may be the ticket for these large companies.
