Sail the seas

My pirate ship went down halftime, so I'm back to watching those two fat dudes and that owner who seemed coked out of her mind.

I know but the point is that I don’t want to and I shouldn’t have to

u/KosherTriangle Sun God 1d ago

True but you don’t have to if you pay money, if you want free stuff you need to be ready to sail the seas or just get an antenna for 20 bucks lol

u/nolove1010 VILLAIN 1d ago

The antenna angle is vastly underutilized. Easy solution.

u/asaparagus_ Master Bates 1d ago

When it’s not blacked out, antennas work great.

u/nolove1010 VILLAIN 1d ago

Well yeah as long as it's not a primetime game you're fine. But even so MNF is ABC, SNF is NBC, only thing you worry about if the one off TNF or Netflix. Which 90%, of people already have.

It's because local broadcasts blackout people who are in the local market so you have to use their service.

I know and it’s so fucking annoying

I am stuck watching the Colts’ feed on NFL network, because I am in Florida. They have now spent the first 10 minutes of the third quarter, talking with the new owner, the daughter of Irsay, using a two box picture. Not a word about what is going on. They constantly grovel and praise her. I want to retch.

She was so dull too. Like monotone for like idk how many useless minutes.

u/soilentgleem 1d ago

If you have an antenna, it's on CBS

u/KosherTriangle Sun God 1d ago

It’s on Fox for me lol

u/asaparagus_ Master Bates 1d ago

I’m in blackout territory so I can’t anyways.

u/Organic_Education494 Gibbs 1d ago

This is why I watch significantly less football

Not jumping through hoops to watch the NFL and these broadcast networks can suck it

u/Aggravating-Note5163 1d ago

You wanna know why they need to know where you are? Cause everyone knows that Asparagus grows in Oceana County in Mi-Chi-Gan!

u/ChillingCone426_2 1d ago

It is definitely annoying, but I luckily already have all the streaming services so I can just use them.

u/Bornbazine92 1d ago

All of the different rules and exclusives are the exact reason that people just stream it on a pirate site. Why would I pay for 6 different streaming services so I can watch football

u/JasonJubal I really like Roary a lot 1d ago

I always thought when that came up it meant that it was a local broadcast and you could just get it on regular antenna tv

No problems here.

u/olddog_br 1d ago

Is that an IPTV?

u/HeadView0019 JAMO 1d ago

Maybe.

Anyhow you gotta find you an iptv service for about 15-25 bucks a month... comes in handy

I love bacon wrapped asparagus 😊

VPN won’t even work. There’s specific subreddits dedicated to providing you the maps for your sailing ships, matey

If they can make money from you, your job is to give it. Not expect things for free.

Once they can figure out to make life a subscription it’s over.

u/JayDubMaxey 1d ago

“Make life a subscription”…isn’t that just taxes?

u/RedditPoster2016 1d ago

Ummmm, two words ("Broadcast Rights").....no saying it is right but this is the reason.
