Ha.   While I did have some beers watching that awesome game last night.

 

Anyway  Huckle Bearer is the original term for pall bearer.    Most people think it Huckleberry   

I decided to play a game where I drank a Michelob Ultra every time a Chiefs WR dropped a pass. I was feelin' pretty good by the 4th quarter LOL.

The first half was amazing.  Going for it on their own 17 was sick!

 

For the second half I was in dream land.

 

Love the Hucklebearer term.  I'm a big fan of etymology and phraseology if that is a word.

Here's a game NOT to play - Take a drink every time Collingsworth says "I gotta tell you".  Your wife would be calling for an EMT by the second quarter.

YouTube and YouTube TV are only place to subscribe to Sunday Ticket

 

...On Friday morning, the NFL issued a clear, unambiguous reminder of that fact.

“YouTube and YouTube TV are the only place to go for fans at home wanting to subscribe to NFL Sunday Ticket,” NFL executive vice president of communications Jeff Miller said in a statement. “We are aware of consumer confusion resulting from advertising in the marketplace. The NFL wants its millions of fans to know where to get NFL Sunday Ticket and that we stand against deceptive advertising.”

The deceptive advertising to which Miller refers is, indeed, the commercials from DirecTV in which Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce says, “DirecTV Sports Central gives you access to every game.”

The NFL, we’re told, is concerned that this campaign has confused NFL fans and consumers. How can DirecTV offer access to every game if it no longer offers Sunday Ticket?

 

...Bottom line. If you’re thinking about subscribing to Sunday Ticket, YouTube and YouTube TV are the two services that directly provide it for in-home use...

...DirecTV still has a relationship with the NFL, making Sunday Ticket available to bars and restaurants.

I have Uverse and they can't come to agreement with Nexstar. Fox and CBS are currently not available. That is what most the games are on. They are about to lose half their customers, tons of people are mad about it. A bunch of greedy millionaires fighting over 2 channels. Angry Homer Simpson GIF by FOX TV. If they don't come to an agreement by Friday, I am canceling Uverse and going to Xfinity. I guess they have received 1000's of calls regarding this. Homie isn't playing that game.

Yep, I have UVerse coming over shortly. I am done with it, so I have to use my phone to post here shortly until tomorrow. Sorry about their luck! I have already called Xfinity, they will be here tomorrow. Xfinity is giving me all the local channels = Fox, CBS, ABC, WTHR + I have will have ESPN 1 and 2, my Cubs Channel, NFL network Channel, NBA network Channel, MLB network Channel, The Fox channel that the Pacers play on, and just the key basic cable like TBS, TNT, TruTV - great channel, CNN News, Fox News, Weather Channel, etc.. for just 150 a month. + lightning Internet speed!

I have DirecTV with Indy as my local stations. However channel  4(cbs) and 59 (fox) are in contract dispute and are not being broadcast :flaming::argh:

Yep see my above post, I have UVerse, same thing as DirecTV. I am even paying them 200 dollars a month for the channels I have, their loss. I live in Indianapolis and can't even watch the Colts because of UVerse and Nexstar being babies. I am going with Xfinity. See above.

Here are four LEGAL items:

 

Firestick (around $50) with the following apps

Paramount Plus App (between $5-12/ month)

Fox app - free

VPN -  anywhere from free to $5/month. Make sure it has the right locations.

 

I’m reiterating, these are all legal.  Do your research.  
 

 

 

We talked about this a few weeks ago.  I had no idea Paramount had CBS.  That’s even a little cheaper than NFL+ and VPN.  Of course you'll get NFL Network and primetime games with NFL+.

 

It's getting easier than it was a few years ago, that's for sure.

Ok, I've seen some mention the Paramount+ app. Paramount+ is offered as part of the walmart+ account. I haven't tried it yet. Does paramount+ offer live sports games? Would I bet able to watch Colts games with paramount if they are not on my local channel here? I guess I'm just kind of confused as to how it works.  LOL.

I watched a pre-season game that way.  Not sure about regular season games.

Get a digital antenna and watch them over the air.

Can someone let me know which Fox App I need to download?  There are a bunch of them.  There is one from Indy, a Fox Sports app etc.

I recently moved from Indiana to Colorado, and I still want to be able to watch Colts games.  Some other pertinent info is that I have "cut the cord" and do not have cable.  Are there any legal streaming options that are cheaper than NFL Sunday Ticket? I would rather not pay almost $400 if I don't have to. I'll pay it if I have to, but I'm hoping there's something a little cheaper.  Keep in mind that I only care about watching Colts games and I do not need access to every single NFL game that's played each week.  I don't know if that fact will allow me to find cheaper options or not.  Anyway, I appreciate any help.  Please only provide legit and legal options to stream Colts games, as I do not want the thread to get locked.  

Best option is to move back to Indiana. Haha :peek:

I play a similar game but it's when he says "Now here's a guy..." and now I'm an alcoholic.

Unless you have UVerse chuckling homer simpson GIF- then you have to break out a dusty old Antenna from 30 years ago or switch to something else. I am posting from my phone now, waiting on XFinity to get here to get me going again. 

 

It is the principle of it, who gets rid of Fox and CBS right before the NFL season starts. Someone has to be dumb as a box of rocks.

From a heartless and soulless business standpoint, it’s a good strategy. Push for negotiations right before your main money maker sports season starts to put pressure on the provider to just begrudgingly accept the deal.

Unfortunately, it looks like you still need a provider to use the Fox app.  You can, however, get a 60 minute preview, I believe.  Log on in the 3rd quarter to get the end of the game, perhaps.

 

You still need NFL + premium to get all the games.  You can get 70% of them with Paramount and CBS.  If you're outside of Indiana, you will need a VPN for any of it, I guess.

I actually have a provider and was able to get this on the Fox Sports app.  Thanks!

NFL.com - paid for the NFL+ premium. Will have to just replay the game once it’s over (30 minutes after it ends) unless it is being broadcast live in the market you are in… but it was $80 for the whole year.

And you can listen to the game “live”: (it’s actually delayed a few seconds), then watch the game, after it’s ove (full broadcast or condensed, just the plays, one after the other).

I think DTV stream has a deal where they effectively pay for your Sunday Ticket with a $400 rebate or something. They keep sending me ads for it, but since I'm in Indy I don't need it. I've got Paramount+ to watch Channel 4. Channel 59 is an issue. Fox sports app won't work because my provider isn't recognized as a FOX provider.

You tube TV let's you share nfl sunday ticket with 3 people. So you could find 2 friends or family that want to split the cost and watch that way. If you have a roku TV and a paramount+ account there a way to set your locations to Indianapolis and you'll get the Indianapolis cbs channel and you could watch for free. You can search Google and there's a video to do this.

I am enjoying my new set-up. I was paying 199.99 a month with Uverse with same channels I have now with Xfinity. I had Xfinity installed today and just paying 149.99 a month now. I have CBS, FOX, ABC, WTHR, ESPN 1, ESPN 2, TruTv, TBS, TNT, CNN News, FOX News, Weather Channel, Baseball Channel, Cubs Channel, NFL Network Channel, NBA Channel, and I have the FOX Channel the Pacers play on. I have high speed internet and 2 hook ups in my living room and bedroom.

Well that is a little easier said than done. I live 90 miles from Indy in the middle of nowhere and don't have the extra 2K to put up a tower and get an antenna which is what would be required

Try an indoor antenna and if it does not work simply return it. 90 miles may be too much for an indoor antenna.  know some are good for 50.

I hope you have better experience with Xfinity than I ever have. Internet always in and out, I pay for 1GB internet speed I think they call it. I'm in the middle of moving waiting on closing and can't wait to dump Xfinity. Hopefully Xfinity is way better in your area😁

    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint. 
    • Yes, yes he did. If you scroll back to old Pagano post you’ll see how much blame he got. I definitely hold Pagano is regards to letting Luck down on the offensive side of the ball. I also see the Houston Texans inevitably going down the same path.   D’joun Smith is who you’re thinking of.   Grigson is looked at as an overall bust and a terrible drafter so naturally the blame will be more widely accepted. There is no doubt things will be heating up under Ballards seat if anything less then winning the division is obtained this year. The QB position has been his Achilles heel. If Richardson is healthy this season I believe his roster will be very heavily evaluated with no excuses this year.
    • But you haven't learned the narrative this forum has been trying to tell you.   Frank Reich pounded his fists for Wentz, Ryan, Pryor, and all of the WRs that busted.   OTOH, Pagano never pounded his fist for TJ Green, or Bjoern Werner, or Trent Richardson, or that little small school cornerback that got canned before the season even started.     You see, the GM is only responsible for the bad players when it helps support the previous statements that the GM is bad, and the HC is responsible for the bad players when it helps support previous statement's that the GM is a genius.   You should know this by now and be falling in line accordingly.
    • TJ Green was a a Grigson pick. I know it’s been pointed out but if you’re going to be so arrogantly biased but not remember a player drafted before the GM your bashing them, the substance of your message is incredibly vacated of credibility.   His drafts have consisted of incredibly high upside, toolsy and traitsy prospects. If anything his knock has been that he hasn’t taken safer players with high floors and lower upside.   My take on Banogu is that his demise is from his greed. He was drafted to play, and played in college as a linebacker. His role was to be the same as a Dontae Hightower. Someone mainly utilized for blitzes, and a run stuffer. However he came in and wanted to be a pass rusher because they get paid a heck of a lot more than a line backer on average. They shouldn’t have let him take that on and kept him at line backer and he might still be on a roster.    As far as block buster moves how can you discredit the Buckner trade? Trading for Carson Wentz? Trading for Matt Ryan? You can’t say he hasn’t taken chances. I blame Frank Reich more than anything still. I mean who the hell has Andrew Luck coming back in his first game after a huge shoulder surgery and throwing 53 times? I think that was the first moment that made me question Reich.   Your Richardson take is so disgusting and troll inducing it makes me think you don’t watch football or have watched any tape. You would think he played like Lamar Jackson where as he always has his eyes down the field when he breaks from the pocket.   Reich was the bigger failure and the reason we kept a revolving door at QB IMHO. A GM has to take the QB his head coach wants and Reich was wrong 4 times with the likes of Rivers (ultimately set us back another year by playing one season and dipping after taking us deep enough in the draft we couldn’t trade up without it costing us a fortune) Wentz, Foles and Ryan. You can’t win without a QB and he impeded us from getting a QB his entire tenure.
