    Mods you can move this thread. I'm just posting so members can see this.

    I watched the game with a Brown fan. He has what is called a Firestick. Cost him 40 dollars. A one time cost. He gets all NFL games and NCAA. You can't flick channels and have to put up with the ads but it's a great inexpensive way to watch your team. He watches all the Browns games. They are never on in our neck of the woods.

    Generally I get 90% of the Steeler games but for any of you who can't get them all the time you may want to look into it.

    I’ve got the “firebox” Much better IMO because you have the option to hook it up directly to the internet. None of that buffering or lag time. I have Sunday Ticket, but I use it for preseason and UFC fights

    I tried the firestick a few years back. It was nearly the second qtr before I could figure out what was going on. Very confusing for this simple minded guy.

    I had a buddy jailbreak mine. Works pretty good. Once in a while the UFC fights are in Spanish, but I really don’t care about that

    A few years ago during an Amazon sale I invested in an NVIDIA Shield which is similar to a firestick but more processing power and a much better controller etc. I basically watch everything through it, great piece of kit and has never missed a beat. Would highly recommend

    Understand! During breaks in the game he would show me all the stuff it does but I had no interest and it was all greek to me.

    Technology is your friend. One thing I’ve vowed to do is embrace it. No way I wanna end up some old dude that can’t handle my affairs because I was too scared of change.

    You don't even need a firestick or a KODI box anymore. If you need a stream, google search vipleague american football. Look for the game. Stream the game and cast it from your phone directly to your TV. Works for me every time.

    Anyone who can watch a beach front sunset/sunrise sipping a lovely bottle of Taittingers, can just have his great great grandchildren explain. :drinks:

    Nope, if they didn't want you to use it, it shouldn't be out there.

    If that’s the way you wanna look at it sure. Really no different than anyone on here asking for a feed for the game on Sundays.

    Besides I rarely use the thing anyway. I’m not a broke dick mother****** so I can afford to buy the Sunday ticket.

    A 2010 Dom????? You're killing me JEH. But I do like your taste and priorities. Screw the Fire Sticks. Bring on the Fire Water! :drinks:
    BTW - how'd your Gumbo/Jambalaya turn out, taste-wise? It sure looked top flight boiling in the stockpot. Fresh shrimp off the boat/truck and freshly made Andouille should have been Nirvana. :thumbs_up:
