This week, that football, week 4, you know, the NFL TV map, it’s a mess! So many games, so little time. I tell ya, it ain’t like the old days when we just had one game on that little black and white TV. Now, you gotta have a map to figure out what’s goin’ on.
That NFL Week 4, it’s a big one. Lots of teams playin’. You got your, uh, your… what’s them called… the Bills, yeah, the Buffalo Bills, playin’ them Ravens, from, uh, Baltimore. That’s on Sunday night. Big game, that one. But what channel is it? I don’t know without that map.
Before that big game, lots of other teams are playing. So many, I can’t remember ’em all. But, you know, you gotta find out which game is on in your area. It is really a big deal. That coverage map thing, it shows you. Like a map of the whole country, with colors and lines.
And how to watch it? Oh boy, that’s another thing. You got your FOX, your CBS, your… NBC? Is that one? And that ESPN, that’s the sports one. And some other one, NFL Network, I think. It’s all too much, I tell ya.
- FOX, that’s one.
- CBS, that’s another.
- NBC, maybe.
- ESPN, for sure.
- And that NFL Network.
And then, you got to have the right, what do they call it, the package? Yeah, the right package. Like a present, but it ain’t free. You gotta pay for these packages. And they got all different ones. It’s confusing. You can watch the game on the FOX, you can use that FOXSports thing, on the computer or phone. Too fancy, if you ask me. Or that NFL+, that another way. Cost money too.
And they got, how many games do they play now? 17? Over 18 weeks? Each team plays 17, I heard. It used to be simpler. You turn on the TV, you watch the game. Now, you gotta be a, what do they call it, a rocket scientist? To figure it all out. That National Football League, they make it hard.
I remember when we just had rabbit ears on the TV. You had to move ’em around to get a good picture. Sometimes you had to put foil on ’em. Remember that? And the picture was all snowy. But we watched anyway. Didn’t need no coverage map then. Didn’t have all these channels. That NFL, it is a big money thing.
These young folks, they know how to work all this stuff. They got their phones and their computers. They can watch the games anywhere, anytime. Stream, they call it. Like a stream of water, but it’s football. They can watch it on Paramount+. Whatever that is.
Me, I just like to sit in my chair and watch it on the big TV. If I can figure out which channel it’s on, that is. That NFL TV map, it’s like tryin’ to read a foreign language. All them colors and lines. What does it all mean?
They say it’s supposed to help you find your favorite team. But who can keep track of all these teams? They move around, they change their names. It’s all a big mess. And that NFL Week 4, it is especially crazy.
I just hope I can find the game I want to watch. I like that one team, you know, the one with the, uh, the quarterback. He throws the ball real good. But which team is he on now? I can’t keep up.
This whole NFL TV map thing, it’s just another sign of how complicated things have gotten. Everything’s so fast now, so many choices. Too many choices, if you ask me. That coverage map is too difficult to understand for me. I just want to watch some football.
Back in my day, we didn’t have all this fancy stuff. We just had football. And it was good enough for us. We didn’t need no maps, no packages, no streamin’. Just a good old-fashioned game on the TV.
Well, I guess I better go try to figure out this map. If I can find my glasses, that is. And maybe one of the grandkids can help me. They know all about this newfangled technology. It is too difficult for me. I just want to watch that National Football League, you know.
Wish me luck. This NFL Week 4 is gonna be a tough one to figure out. But I’m determined to watch some football. Even if I gotta wrestle with that darn NFL TV map to do it! I just want to watch some football on TV.
