Alright, let’s talk about this NFL TV coverage map thing, you know? It’s like, where can I watch my dang football games? I ain’t got no fancy cable, just the regular TV, so I gotta figure out which channel’s got what game. It ain’t always easy, let me tell ya.
First off, they got these maps, see? Pictures of the country, and they color in different parts to show which game you get. Sounds simple enough, right? Hah! Not so fast. These maps, they change every week! One week, the Packers are on my TV, the next week, poof! Gone! It’s like they’re playin’ hide-and-seek with the channels.
I heard tell you can find these maps online. Something about . Now, I ain’t too good with that computer stuff, but my grandson, he’s a whiz. He showed me how to look it up. You gotta type in the right words, though. He said something about “NFL coverage map” or “NFL broadcast map.” Sounds fancy, but it just means where to watch the football.
So, you get on this website, and there’s the map. All them colors! It’s like a patchwork quilt, but instead of pretty flowers, it’s got football teams. You gotta find your little spot on the map, where you live, and see what color it is. Then you look at the little box on the side, and it tells you which game that color is for.
- Finding the dang map: Go to that 506sports website, or whatever your grandson tells ya. Type in the right words. Look for the pretty colors.
- Figuring out your spot: Where do you live? Find it on the map. Ain’t always easy, them maps are small.
- Matching the colors: Your spot got a color? Good. Now find that color in the little box. That’s your game!
Now, sometimes, there’s a problem. They call it a blackout. Sounds scary, like the lights went out! But it just means they ain’t showin’ the game on your TV. Maybe too many people in your area already bought tickets, so they figure you don’t need to watch it on TV. Or maybe it’s some other reason, who knows? Them TV folks, they got their own rules.
My grandson says you can set up somethin’ called updates. I guess that means the computer tells you when the new map comes out. That way, you don’t gotta keep checkin’ all the time. He also said somethin’ about bookmarkin’ the website, so you can find it easy next time. Sounds like a good idea, saves me all that fussin’ around.
And speaking of fussin’ around, sometimes these maps ain’t so clear. Like, what if you live right on the edge of two colors? Which game do you get then? It’s a gamble, I tell ya. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you don’t. That’s just life, I guess. Like when you’re plantin’ tomatoes, sometimes they grow big and juicy, sometimes them dang squirrels eat ’em all.
The FOX NFL coverage map, that’s another thing my grandson talks about. He says it’s a specific map just for the FOX channel. So if you’re watchin’ FOX, you gotta look at that particular map. It’s like there’s a map for every channel, can you believe it? Too much confusion if you ask me.
And another thing, they got these games on Thursday sometimes, and Sunday, and even Monday night. It’s a whole week of football! You gotta keep track of all them different days and times. It’s enough to make an old lady’s head spin. But hey, I love my football, so I put up with it.
So, that’s the deal with the NFL TV coverage maps. It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t always easy neither. You gotta find the map, figure out your spot, and hope you don’t get blacked out. And if all else fails, just ask your grandson. Them young folks, they know all about this computer stuff. Me? I just wanna watch my Packers play, is that too much to ask?
Anyway, I hope this helps you figure out how to watch your football games. It ain’t perfect, but it’s what we got. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some popcorn. Game’s about to start!
