Where to Watch the Chicago Bears Game Today: A Survival Guide for the Desperate Fan
So, you're a Bears fan. God bless your soul. The eternal optimist, the masochist with a dream. It's game day, and you're wondering, "Where can I watch this dumpster fire of a team?" Fear not, fellow sufferer, I've got you covered.
Your TV is Your Best Friend (Unless It's Broken)
Let's start with the obvious. If you have a TV, you're halfway there. Now, you just need to figure out which channel to inflict upon your eyeballs.
- Local Channels: Check your local listings. It's likely the game is on FOX or CBS. If you live in Chicago, you're probably familiar with the iconic duo of Adam Amin and Jim Miller, but don't blame them for the Bears' performance.
- Cable/Satellite: If you're a glutton for punishment and have cable or satellite, you might have additional options like NFL Network or ESPN. Just be prepared for endless commercials and analysts who clearly don't understand football.
Streaming: For the Cord-Cutters and Desperate
If you've bravely chosen the cord-cutting lifestyle, you're in for a bit of an adventure.
- Streaming Services: Platforms like YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, and FuboTV often carry local channels and NFL Network. Just be prepared to pay a monthly fee for the privilege of watching your team lose.
- Illegal Streams: I cannot condone illegal streaming. It's like stealing candy from a baby... or, in this case, stealing a football game from the NFL. But let's be real, we've all been tempted. Just be aware of the risks, like malware and your computer spontaneously combusting.
The Great Outdoors: A Risky Proposition
If all else fails, you can always try watching the game outside. Maybe the fresh air will clear your head and make the loss a little easier to bear.
- Local Sports Bars: If you're feeling social, head to your local sports bar. At least you'll have company in your misery. Just be prepared for overpriced beer and the annoying guy who knows everything about football (even though his team sucks too).
- Tailgating (If Applicable): If it's a home game, tailgating can be a fun way to spend the day. Just remember to bring plenty of alcohol to numb the pain of the inevitable loss.
How to...
- How to survive a Bears loss: Stock up on pizza, beer, and your favorite comfort blanket.
- How to avoid Bears fans after a loss: Pretend you're a Packers fan.
- How to find hope as a Bears fan: Delusions of grandeur and the promise of a better draft pick.
- How to watch the game without sound: Mute the TV and imagine your own commentary. It's probably better than the real thing.
- How to prepare for the next season: Lower your expectations. Way, way lower.
