I have heard you can stream live games at nfl.com. So I went to the sight and looked around and couldn't find out how to go about it. I'm not the most computer savy person on the planet. Anyone able to help I would greatly appreciate it. Also, Is streaming actually watching the game or can you just hear it, and yes I am well aware that I am technologically inept. Thanks in advance!

You can watch it on Game Pass thru nfl.com....

…but you can’t register until you leave the U.S.

I have signed up to this

It is sweet – NFL network 24/7 and all games.
It is in HD too if your broadband can handle it.

You can sign up for a week or month or season.

Your other option is www.justin.tv it is free but quality can be hit and miss.

You could also use a "sling box"

I don’t really know much about them other than that hook up to your TV at home and then you can basically watch your TV from your computer while you’re on the road. I know some people who travel alot and that works best for them. Again though, don’t really know about cost or how quick or easy it is to set up.

Be careful....to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I was in Paris during week 17 last season

Thankfully the Cards were stuck in the 4th seed so watching football wasn’t a NEED, but I was still eager to watch who squeezed in the playoffs and who didn’t so I asked the hotel manager and they told me to check out the English Pubs in Paris so I went to some Pub on the river called Frog something or other. I asked the waiter dude to turn one on and he was very polite about it and there I was watching Favre getting manhandled by the Dolphins in Paris live at 2am Paris time. I forget some details like the river name and the pub’s name because I was 18 in a country with an 18+ drinking age. Good luck though and have fun!

Thanks for the info!

The only river I know of in Paris is the Seine. Ring a bell? Anyways we are excited. I was thinking of foregoing the game but it starts at 10:15 pm Paris time and I figure I wont have anything else to do at that time of night so…GO CARDINALS!

I can only Pray

Im in Iraq for the next 6 weeks, I just saw that AFN is going to show the game at 11:30 pm my time, internet sucks here so I can only pray AFN will continue to cover the Cardinal games.
