Franklin area. My brother lives there and we fish the local ponds or small lakes.

We might also venture into Tennessee as well. 

These ponds are not fished by the public so the fishing is fantastic. 

Ah, gotcha. I'm in Barren Co. Live about 2 miles from the lake.

Yeah I been there a few times when I was a teenager.  

I lived in Oak Grove Tn and was all over the area both sides of the KY-TN line. 

We spent most of our weekends at Beach Bend drag strip in Bowling Green.

Because they're playing Lamar Jackson and Baltimore, no doubt...UGH!!!

 

True...once Lamar arrived...we have been getting a lot of BAL games...which actually makes sense...he has a cult following here. 

 

But it seems like we always get the Browns games. I guess it's because of the contingent of AFC North fans in Louisville (CLE, PIT and CIN).

Louisville was a Browns town for many years when televised games became more popular.  Of course, there were no teams at that time in Cincy or Indy or Nashville.  Closest team was Chicago, but they were on another network, I believe.

 

I'm reluctant to go to a bar to watch the Colts game due to the pandemic.  I wish the league would make exceptions on regional coverages and make the Sunday Ticket free this season.  Wishful thinking, I know.

It would have been a great PR move if they had. Not to mention...it would have boosted ratings...heading into their re-up negotiations. But I am guessing it was logistically possible.

Probably so.  I use Roku and checked to see if Sunday Ticket was available where I am, and it's not.  Only through Direct TV or some other service, which I'm not switching to.  Guess I'll have to hope for a few games this season and watch highlights.

Hello, new member here, old time charger fan...now, a rivers fan!!!

Got my Colts hat ready!!!

Is there any link to the games via the Radio?

Not sure I will get the Sunday Ticket again and would love to be able to just kick back, have a beer or shot of tequila or two and enjoy listening to Rivers chew up the Defenses each week.

 

Thanks in advance and GO COLTS!!!

With CBS all access can you pick which area of coverage you want or are you restricted to your areas coverage?

 

Thanks in advance.

I'd assume that you'd only get whatever is showing in your area. I don't think they'd give access to half the Sunday games for 5.99/mo.

 

When you sign up, it probably uses your IP address to locate where you are and determine what it shows you.

I always thought Teddy Bridgewater was more popular. No? @Barry Sears

 

I will always be a fan of Teddy.

You can try using the direct tv streaming option.  Just need to type in an apartment address.  I live in an apartment so no worries.  Cut cable and direct tv a year ago.  I use the Roku for Sunday ticket.

 

Hope that helps.

He was until Jackson came along...especially after winning the MVP.

 

I'm a fan of Teddy, too...great young man and hope he does well in Carolina.

Teddy was more popular...but he sort of fell off once he got hurt...and then Lamar started doing his thing.

 

There are some fans who are fans of Teddy for what he did in college. While Lamar may have won the Heisman, Teddy was more successful in college. That Sugar Bowl performance against that great defense was fantastic! And he was humble while doing it. I'm a big fan of his and I am not a Louisville Cardinals fan. (I'm a Stanford Cardinal fan.)

Little hack to get it to work is check different random apartment addresses i.e (blah blah blah unit 203) and if it says you are able to get the streaming package then temporarily change a credit card to that address, make the purchase and set it back.

Hey guys, hopefully someone has some advice. Huge Colts fan in California looking for way to watch the Colts game live, or after. Use to catch the games on reddit, seems that option is unavailable now. Any ideas or suggestions. Tough loss today and even more maddening not being able to watch the game!! 

 

If you're ok watching the games immediately after they end, get NFL Game Pass.

    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
    • There are quite a few articles on the internet that say he may transition to safety in the NFL. Interesting reads
    • He could feel that he needs Paye to develop into a more complete edge rusher. He keeps promoting that he was great as a run defender, but needs to continue improving. He invested a 1st on him, so he could very well want to retain him. My thought on drafting an edge rusher at 15 is that it works as a hedge in the event you don’t retain Paye or if the player shows far more promise than Paye moving forward. My comment about Pierce is that he invested a good draft pick on him- so the argument could be made that had Pittman walked, he would have Pierce (although we all agree that Pierce hasn’t performed like we hoped, nor would he be a wr1 by any means). He would have options this draft had Pittman not worked out.   The idea was more behind longterm planning when Pierce was drafted. Keep them coming in the pipeline so that you have options, and ideally good ones. Remember when Phillip dorsett was drafted? Many thought at the time the idea was to add to the room and hedge in the event TY walked when his contract was up. I’m not opposed to looking at stacking premium position players in the 1st round. That provides depth at the position short term and options longterm. It lessens the burden on a 1st round rookie at those positions, giving them time to develop.
