If you're like me, then you can't get the games. There's a thread going on right now about PS3 and DirecTV, but if your smart (and broke), like me, there is no way you're going to give up $300+ to get in on the action; that is, if you're not already a customer.

So, what are your options?

Online streaming? How's the quality?

Sports bar where you're in the corner rooting by your lonesome? What do you drink? [side note: it's probably cheaper in the long run to subscribe to DirectTV's package]

Buddy's house? How's his wife when she tells you to turn the volume down?

Wait until we play an in-market team?

I'm not really all that computer and TV savvy, so I usually just go to the bar. What are the best options? I know there's a way to hook up your computer to the TV if you do online streaming, but I don't know where to begin as far as that goes.

Comments, suggestions, flaming?

I am in cali and buy Sunday Ticket every year and just haggle the price down to something I'm comfortable with. Before that, I did the sports bar thing, but the lady didn't like me drinking so early on the weekends, especially if I had to drive home, which was always a dumbf*ck idea on my part.

I do not condone illegal streaming, but if you wanted to watch your legal NFL streams from your computer onto your tv, just hookup a cable from an hdmi out on your laptop to an hdmi in on your tv. Or use a DVI to HDMI, or a VGA to rca cable/s-video if you only have analog outs/ins.

Not to mention that when it's raining hard I call and complain that I didn't get to watch it that Sunday and they cut the price in half.

Tell me more about this, please... Ive had SundayTicket going on 7yrs now and did not know about this. They cut 1 payment in 1/2, or the Ticket cost? The best offer I could get this year was $10 off my total bill per month for the next year, free HD ($10) for 3 or 6 months, and Showtime free for 3 months... Last year it was $10 off each of the 6 SunTicket payments and the iPod viewing free, although I never watched it from my iPod I couldve if I wanted to... i read somebody on here got the Ticket for $200 because the commercial doesnt say "new customers only"...

Another option is the NFL's Game Rewind. It's $40 for the year, the only bad thing is that you can't watch the game until Monday morning and it's pretty damn hard to avoid finding out the score on Sunday. It's too bad that the NFL does offer a live-streaming service - but only for overseas customers.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
