I have no idea what cartera is talking about and I hope she is being sarcastic. Not wanting to miss your team play is completely normal and fans will watch each game as long as it’s possible. This is of course because the NFL regular season is only 16 games long, making each game extremely important. He’s not addicted, just a fan.

ESPN 3 cannot show the NFL.

The taking a bus to a sports bar idea isn’t bad.

However, there are two better, more convenient answers.

1) It’s really to find live streams of NFL games online. Sometimes the video quality and buffer rate can be bad, but with some work you can find a watchable stream. Several of my friends actually pay for a private stream during football season so they can watch their team play. It costs like $20 for the entire season, I think. I forget what site they used but I’m sure you can google search it.

2) This is the best option, imo. Get a Slingbox: [Slingbox.com - Watch Your TV Anywhere with a Slingbox](http://www.slingbox.com/)

I actually don’t know the exact details of how this gadget works, but I know several people at W&M who have one and it works really well. Basically you get a slingbox and you hook it up with your TV and cable/satellite box at home and you can watch whatever stations you get anywhere in the world. So you could be watching Baltimore CBS showing the Ravens in China, as long as you have an internet connection. Not to mention that if your family is paying for HBO or other premium cable channels, you get to watch all of those too. You get good video quality, assuming that W&M’s internet doesn’t suck that day.

A slingbox isn’t that expensive. The regular slingbox is $180, and it will be incredibly useful to you over the next four years. Seriously, look into a slingbox. It’s the best option, imo. Although you must have cable or satellite at home for it to work.
