Channel Surfing Smackdown: Where to Find the Football Frenzy
Boston's a city that bleeds both Dunkin' Donuts orange and NFL team colors (be it red, white, and blue, or whatever the Patriots are rocking these days). So, you've got a good selection of channels to catch your fix. Here's a rundown of the usual suspects:
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
- The Big Three: CBS, FOX, and NBC are your go-to guys for most Sunday afternoon games. They'll typically have the national broadcasts, so you might see some epic rivalries or a blowout featuring a team that definitely isn't the Patriots (because let's be honest, those are rare these days).
- Primetime Players: Sunday Night Football on NBC and Monday Night Football on ESPN are your options for catching some gridiron action after the sun sets. These games are usually the cream of the crop, featuring teams with quarterbacks who can spell their own names and defenses that don't look like they wandered off the set of a bad rom-com.
- The Niche Network: The NFL Network, bless its niche heart, shows a bunch of NFL games throughout the season, though blackout restrictions might apply depending on the matchup. But hey, if you're feeling adventurous and want to catch a Thursday night game featuring... the Jacksonville Jaguars... this is your jam.
Pro Tip: If you're indecisive and have cable with a bunch of sports channels, flip through them like you're judging a mediocre salsa competition at a work potluck. Eventually, you'll land on a game that sparks joy (or at least mild amusement).
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
Decoding the Dial: How to Know What's Actually On
Alright, so you know the channels, but what about the actual games? Here's the not-so-secret secret: Google is your friend. A quick search for "NFL on TV today" or "[Local Boston station] TV schedule" will show you exactly what's playing and when.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
Bonus Tip: Sports apps are also a great way to stay on top of the NFL schedule. Download one to your phone and impress your friends with your knowledge of obscure backup running backs.
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
