    Question for the group, specifically those who aren't attending the game in person.

    DVR Delay for me- can't devote the full 3 hours on the weekend with a 2 year old looking to play and a ton of stuff to do around the house. Usually avoid TV until about 8PM, watch the game on a delay in peace and quiet.

    What sayeth you?

    I voted "Other," because I frequently watch them with my hands covering my eyes as something horrifying occurs on the field.

    j/k, I voted live TV, local coverage.

    I go to most of the home games, but for those I don't attend, and the away games, it's live TV, local coverage, usually CBS, obviously.....

    Last year, I was living in Indianapolis, and I was forced to listen to the games on the radio over the INternet.... That was a really weird experience.... Checking the listings every week praying we'd be on! Luckily, we played the AFC South last year, so in Indy they would show those games since they were against division rivals of the Colts...

    NFL Sunday Ticket. I don't know what I would do without it. The new Super Fan package with additional HD games is great.

    Mostly live TV via satellite, but 3 or 4 times a year I need to DVR it due to family stuff.

    Satellite at a sportsbar*

    because I'm outside the viewing area, and it's more fun than watching at home (the reason we won't get the NFL ticket. I'd rather spend that 250 on bar tabs) .....

    I do try to go to at least one live game a year, sometimes more

    Order of preference:

    1) At the game (one game a season)
    2) Home alone (if the game is on regular TV, 3-4 games a season)
    3) Sports bar

    I have two young kids with another on the way. If the game is on at 1:00 I take my kids out all morning (parks, backyard, shopping, etc.) After lunch they are begging for a nap. They usually sleep until 1/2 time.

    If the game is at 4:00 it is much harder.

    Either time I have an unspoken deal with the wife - I dowhatever you want me to all weekend long but when the game is on I am watching it.
