Firing Up the Old Tube: Classic Cable Options
For those who enjoy the nostalgia of flipping through channels until your thumb gets sore, here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
- Catch 'em on CBS! This is your most likely bet for a primetime Lions game. Just make sure you haven't accidentally tuned into reruns of "Murder, She Wrote" instead.
- Don't underestimate FOX! They snag some Lions games too, so keep that remote handy in case Jessica Fletcher takes a commercial break.
Pro Tip: Dust off your lucky Lions jersey (the one with the faint coffee stain from last year's Thanksgiving debacle) for an extra dose of team spirit.
