You're a Raven, Not a Roadrunner: Watching Out-of-Market Games
So, you're a die-hard Baltimore Ravens fan, but fate has cruelly placed you in a land where purple and black are as common as unicorns? Don't despair, my fellow bird enthusiast! We've got you covered. Here's a breakdown of how to watch your beloved Ravens when you're miles away from the sweet sounds of "Ravens Flock!"
The Golden Ticket: NFL Sunday Ticket
Let's start with the big kahuna: NFL Sunday Ticket. It's like Willy Wonka's golden ticket for football fans. With this bad boy, you can watch every out-of-market game. It's a buffet of football goodness! But, there's a catch (there's always a catch, isn’t there?). It's a bit pricey. So, if you're willing to shell out the dough for a front-row seat to every game, this is your jam.
Streaming Services: Your Digital Cheerleaders
If your wallet is feeling a little lightheaded, fear not! Streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV can be your new best friends. They offer a variety of channels that broadcast NFL games. However, you might not get every game, so you'll need to do a little channel surfing (or app switching, if you prefer).
The Sneaky Pete: VPNs
Now, this next option is a bit of a wildcard. We're talking about VPNs (Virtual Private Networks). These sneaky little tools can make your device think it's in a different location. So, if you're clever (and a little tech-savvy), you might be able to trick your streaming service into thinking you're in Baltimore. But, be warned: using a VPN can be tricky, and some streaming services are cracking down on them. So, proceed with caution!
The Old-School Option: Radio
If all else fails, there's always the radio. You might not get the visual spectacle, but you'll get the play-by-play action and all the heart-pounding excitement. Plus, it's a great way to bond with your fellow Ravens fans over the airwaves.
The Ultimate Sacrifice: Relocation
Okay, this is a joke. But seriously, if you're that desperate to be closer to the action, you might want to consider a career change as a crab cake connoisseur.
How to...
- How to avoid spoilers? Stay off social media until after the game.
- How to survive a bar full of opposing fans? Bring earplugs or a really good sense of humor.
- How to throw a virtual Ravens watch party? Use a video conferencing app like Zoom or Google Meet.
- How to make game day food that's not chicken wings? Get creative! There's a whole world of football food out there.
- How to cope with the inevitable heartbreak of a Ravens loss? Surround yourself with fellow fans, eat copious amounts of chocolate, and remember, there's always next week.
Remember, being a Ravens fan is about more than just watching the games. It's about the camaraderie, the passion, and the unwavering belief in purple power. So, whether you're watching from a packed stadium or your living room couch, let's fly together!
