Your NFL teams

smoochy — Sat, 13 Jun 2026 17:16:29 GMT

posting here instead of sports forum, for more views/responses.

Who is your fave team and if you live where their TV coverage is out of market for you, how will you watch or follow the games?

We have lived in Florida for eight years. Missing most of the Detroit Lions games. Im looking into NFL Sunday Ticket but whew, its expensive.

Looking at their schedule, I note six of seventeen games that we will be able to see, as they will be on prime time.

Debating whether that will give me my Lions "fix" or do I want to spend big money. 💲

Life would be more convenient if we (hub and I) were big Tampa Bay Bucs fans. But we just cant ditch our home team.😊🦁💙🩶

RAVENS!!!!!

i live in the baltimore area so we always see the games on tv. my daughter and son in law also have PSLs and have tickets to all of the games.

for other games, we have NFL network and REDZONE. however, they were removed recently from comcast xfinity.....they are supposedly working on an agreement that will allow us to see other games. hopefully.

the three to four that are on on sundays on our "regular channels" usually keep me busy though.

Well I'm in Arizona and we are for the Cardinals. Most likely the worst team in the NFL but we still watch. It's on local TV. They are predicting us to be in last place again but that's nothing new.

hey you're talking to a Detroit fan. The Lions were in the bottom for decades. We were a guaranteed win for even bad teams. The joke was, maybe next season. We still hold the record for the 2008 season when we went 0-16. Fans who attended games wore paper sacks over their heads.

Welp. One fateful day Martha Firestone Ford died.i think she was about 200 years old or it seemed like it, haha. She had been a hands-off owner as we went through coaches, players, front office staff. But wait! She left the team to her daughter, Sheila Ford Hamp. She is my age 74. Sheila was a fan. Not only that, she knew something about football which i dont think her mom did, enough to hire the right ppl for the right positions. Between her vision and her commitment to changing the culture, we ended up with Coach Dan Campbell and a front office that cared about the future. Sheila made a promise to set us on a winning trajectory and she did. We have had winning records for the past five or so years. Trust me, the fans barely knew how to act. Lol. The goal is to make the playoffs and a super bowl eventually.

I tell you this so you keep a glimmer of hope for the Cardinals. When the right combination of personnel gets in there, and they will, you will start to see a turnaround.

The Indianapolis Colts! I've been a fan since the Peyton Manning days. I liked Manning when he first started and have stayed a fan of this team. I couldn't ditch the Colts even when Manning went to Denver.

It was frustrating last year when they started out strong and then had a collapse. I don't have NFL Network or streaming services; am able to see most Colts games on my local channel. When the games aren't televised in my vicinity I can listen on Westwood One radio through the computer.

Smoochy, my sister and her husband are both Lions fans, so I also follow that team.

@smoochy

it IS going to be strange and a little sad, but there were a lot of fans that were ready to let go of either harbaugh OR lamar. hoping to see lamar with an entire season of SPARK and maybe minter might be a nice change. we shall see!

No matter the places I have lived in the country, I will always be a Pittsburgh girl and have a place in my heart for the "Stillers."

Not a sports fan at all--could care less, really. Am near Seattle so the team won the super bowl --never watch--just doesn't interest me.

I was born and raised in a small town in western Pa. This is Pittsburgh Steelers country. I went to Pitt so I am a very loyal fan of my alma mater as well. I have lived in Florida since 1986 and there is always a Steelers bar around. If the game isn't on TV, I just go there and watch with the other Steelers fans. I was on a river cruise and stopped to have a beer in Heidelberg, Germany, and low and behold...it was a Pittsburgh Steelers bar. We are everywhere!

I catch up with my Eagles here in Georgia usually on replays during the week on NFL network.

Since they've done well, I get lucky that they are usually on the national coverage more often than not.

But, if they play during the Falcons time, I'm out of luck locally.

In order Jax Jaguars....born and raised in Jax. However, because we are now in Central FL, The Bucs are considered in market. Irritates me a lot!

Then The Broncos! When I lived there before moving back to FL in 2010 went to a lot of games. Now barely get to see them.

My final team are The Raiders....goes back to my childhood and I loved George Blanda.

yeah that would annoy me too. I love Trev Lawrence by the way. One of my favorite players.

I am happy to watch and root for the Bucs, only because that's the game we will always get on tv. Haha but they are always my second choice. Then I like to support certain individual players. For example Kirk Cousins-what a great guy from my area of Michigan, and a Michigan State alumnus. He was their qb when my daughter was a student there. Also Kenneth Walker III, K9 as he was called at MSU. Now wearing a super bowl ring 🙌

I can't say I have a favorite sport OR a favorite team.

Having said that, I never miss the Olympics. I love the gymnastics and skiing events.

I live in NJ but am not a Giant or Jets fan. I am a Patriot fan, especially, during Brady years. When he was in Tampa, I was a Bucs fan but more a Brady fan. I also like The Bills.
