I don't think this will work on that anyway, it said it's mobile only. Which wouldn't include tablets and "hybrid" devices.

I do. Even here on base. I already preordered madden to get the nfl package. But itd be sweet to be able to watch if I had to be out of the house. But not likely since most games are probably 1pm kickoffs for Browns. So 7am here is usually safe from the wife wanting to do anything besides sleep.

Cool, but I will never watch a game on my phone. I can't imagine having to do that.

Obviously if you can watch it on your 50 in tv that's what you're gonna do. This is more for the people who have work or stuff going on on Sundays.

I know I sometimes go to the bars on Sundays because I wanna drink. A lot of the bars here play only the bears games. So I can flip the browns game on my phone while I'm there.

Or think about fantasy. You got a QB starting yet you want to watch your team on the big screen. Put your QBs game on your phone.

Lots of ways to use this.

I wanna watch on tv too. But I'd watch on a 7" black and white tv if it meant getting to see the browns play every week. So id love to watch on my note2 which is what my wife calls my ipad mini.

I agree. I'm just saying. I won't ever use it. Also, go to a browns bar on Sundays! There is on near Fullerton and Clark I think. There is also an Ohio state bar on Clark or Lincoln north of Fullerton that I assume would show Browns/Bengals as well in Sundays.

I've been to all of the browns bars and all of the Ohio state bars. They're great. I love red ivy for browns games they do it right. Just saying not always going to be there for games, being able to whip it out on my phone will be sweet.

If that's the case you gotta start flirting with the waitress to have her put the browns on the tv in the corner no one is looking at lol.

I don't go to places like b dubs lol that's the problem. There's at most 5 tvs in the place they are all bears games. No one cares about the browns here (obviously)

I also have direct tv so I get every browns game on my tv. That's usually what I'll do. I go out for browns games or just to drink when the browns are out of contention or I know we're going to get killed. I rarely do that though. 2-3 times a season.

Yeah I know.

I got spoiled when I visit Chicago cause my gf knows a guy that works/has worked at all these different bars cause his friend manages them. He always said the colts would be on TV for me if we showed up lol.

But I do know the team and college specific bars around Lincoln park pretty well.
