Sign up for Sling TV (streaming) which has ESPN. Cancel after the draft. Cheaper than 2 nights in a hotel.

Let Firestick take you to a NFL Draft Youtube channel. Tons of content, most will be far better IMO

Hook up an antenna and use the antenna feature, I use it on Roku and Firestick if needed or wanted

Dosen’t ABC or ESPN have an app? Go to app store on firestick.

If I watched sports, I seriously,would opt for the motel option somewhere where there are good eats nearby, and perhaps ocean nearby or something g to do, if I could,get away that is. Cabin fever is,right at its peek about now. Maybe split,the fee with relatives who also,watch it, and can’t get it either.

Other than that, the others have suggested good options. Just check,and see if you can cancel sling or another service right after the picks.

I was about to suggest getting a life and finding a new hobby, then realized you were being sarcastic.

Know what? There is a huge number of brainwashed who actually DO think like this. A great number even here.

You would have to subscribe to You Tube live.

My guess is they have a free trial you could use and then cancel. Fire stick doesn’t have local live, per se. But Hulu has local live channels.

There ARE ways to get this stuff—but you might need to open accounts and put down a credit card for a couple days. Much cheaper than a hotel though.

I'm just curious on why the NFL draft is suddenly a media event that regular people want to watch.

In the old days, old men in smoke-filled rooms would write their choices on a chalkboard and the results would get printed in the newspaper the next day.

If YouTube TV has the NFL Network, it will have draft coverage.

I am in the same boat, but have decided that radio or a local sports bar will be my avenue Thursday evening.

Friday evening and Saturday will conflict with work, so it looks like the phone will be set on a local draft option.

Just to put the economics in here. The biggest cost of a cable bill is ESPN. Disney uses it to charge the highest prices as well as shoehorning other ABC content into the cable package.

The NFL is very important to cable, TV networks and advertising in general. Men really only watch TV reliably for football. Yes they watch other sports and some TV shows. But not nearly as reliably as football. Women may complain that men watch TV but the research shows that men don’t watch TV like women do. And if you take away football its not even close.

So, football gets viewers to pay for cable. And cable pays for MSNBC and CNN. They also force you to keep watching the networks. Thats why I never pay a cable bill. I get ATT in one house for internet only and I get spectrum in the other house, also internet only. Life beyond football exists. And there is no reason to pay huge amounts for tickets and jerseys either. Your property taxes pay for stadiums which is ridiculous too.

There are many free sports sites. I use NFLHunter.com during the season. Perhaps they are broadcasting it.

the NFL is for losers. Go stay at Motel 6. They’ll even leave the light on for you.

Don’t tell your Mom you watch NFL—she still thinks you play piano in a whorehouse.
