So I bought the ESPN bundle with the NFL+ package. I already had Prime, so I have not missed a game with those. Most of the Vikings game have been regional here (Helena, Montana) during the day, and the overseas games I got with NFL+.

I also prefer the Manning cast over the national broadcast on Monday night. ESPN is almost worth it for just that.

As some others have mentioned, if necessary I have "other" ways of watching, but so far haven't needed them.

Say you wanted to watch a Viking game.... You wouldn't want to watch a stream online somewhere. Those things are illegal to stream (only upload not download) and take a "NFL Bite" out of their profits. Definitely don't look into ublockorigin and a healthy ad blocker. Those also take ad revenue out of people's hands. Lastly, it would not be wise to use a laptop with an hdmi cable plugged into your tv. Your dog could trip on such a cable just laying around.

LMAO. Thank you for this.....I will definitely 'not' do any of the above. Extremely good advice here to 'avoid' because it wouldn't be 'right'. Wink
