Please--Emergency Super Bowl Help!
 

Tiny Son has become obsessed with football. I don't know why I'm surprised. I mean, I was married to an Ohio State line coach, slept with the Packers' current defensive coordinator, and dated two San Diego Charger cornerbacks, but all that was before Tiny Son was born! And none of them were the donor! :poc-lol:

Now, Tiny Son has invited 4 friends over to watch the Super Bowl. I got Giants plates and napkins and cups. I planned for healthy and unhealthy snacks. We figured we'd move the big flat-screen TV he got from Grandpa for Christmas out into the living room.

And that's when I realized the problem: we don't have cable. We have a TV only for use with the Wii. We can't stream football from online onto our TV. We have no Super Bowl.

SO. Can anyone help me with suggestions or information? Like, can I pick up FOX though the air anymore or did that go the way of "party lines"? Can I buy just the Super Bowl anywhere? Can I.... ??? Help! Anything!

Thanks, tapu

Check first with the local stations in your area to make sure you can pick up their digital broadcasts. If you are within their range, you will need to buy a digital receiver for your TV (unless it already has one) in order to pick up local stations such as FOX. Best Buy or Radio Shack can help you with this. It's simple and you will get all non-cable, local stations that are broadcasting in digital.

Good Luck!!

Ah. Both posts very helpful. I'm going to go play around with the tv now and see how it bears out. back soon.

thank you!

Princess,

I only know this because I get Entertainment Weekly: it is on February 5th, next Sunday and yes, it usually is in January.

Hugs:)

I stand corrected:

Super Bowl Sunday is played on the first Sunday in February. Championship is determined for winning teams from the prior year.

Pitchers and catchers report on February 19 for my team. Go Yankees! :|

Oh god.

I guess there IS such a thang as a baseball widow as well.

Still dislike the yankee uniforms btw.

:praying:

Please. Don't confuse us.

And by "healthy," I mean the regular, green Mt. Dew, not the amped up blue one.

Good news for you, Princess!! Their colors are the same! Which means I really won't know who is who doing what, but I have learned to just smile enigmatically until someone gives me a clue as to what just happened. (Can other people really find the ball in those action scenes??)

As for you all coming, OMG, now that would be worth all this. Of course, Tiny Son would die a thousand deaths, but at least Mama would have a good time with it.
