Chandler#81 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 On CBS. Even if you’re being screwed around by DIRECTV, grab an old Black & White portable with Rabbit Ears from the attic, wrap some tinfoil on the antennas and have your GF hold it while touching a window. (She can make sammiches during commercial breaks!) It’s National TV! With top flight announcers! Our only other scheduled national game is during dinner on Thanksgiving. McDermott is bucking the trend of forward thinking HC’s and playing starters throughout the 1st Half -maybe longer. CAN’T MISS TV! 8 5 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Another option is to download the CBS app and sign up for a free one-week trial of All Access -- problem solved. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke my cell phone in college when he fumbled against the Pats in the fourth quarter with the lead. Threw the poor thing straight at the wall. Thankfully, having children has mellowed me out a bit on game days haha. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Fan Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I have fond memories of Detroit. Beating the Jets there 38-3 after the 7 foot blizzard was one of my favorite games of the drought. Plus not a Lions fan but it’s a team I’d be happy to see do well against their division 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the free signal from your local CBS affiliate is digital and your old black and white portable has an analog tuner. It can't understand a digital signal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4_kidd_4 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 What year did Trent Edwards get knocked the eff out in Arizona? There was a similar flap and channel 4 was off cable. There was a mad rush for HD antennas in Buffalo, most places were sold out, I was running all over town trying to find one. Was speeding down W. Delevan and and passed an opportunistic gentleman standing by the street, palm extended, just holding and HD antenna out there. I threw it in reverse, and he said “$20”, I said “$10?”, he said “deal”, and the I got to enjoy Trent getting whacked in blazing HD. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Used all my tin foil on a hat for reasons I'd rather not specify. Looks like I'll opt for a digital antenna 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
