Here's how to watch the Super Bowl without cable

DIY TV ANTENNA


You could make your own TV antenna to watch the Super Bowl. There are easier ways, too.

Whether you’re a football fan or not, it’s hard to deny that the Super Bowl is one of the biggest collective cultural events of the year. Last year, 111.9 million people tuned in to watch the chaotic mix of slick commercials, Madonna, and the occasional bit of actual football.

But, having the big game in your home isn’t a given anymore. By the end of 2016, 16.7 million people in total had ditched cable. Estimates put that number around 22.2 million at the end of 2017. The typical TV route isn’t for everyone anymore, but there are other options for tuning into this year’s Super Bowl. Here’s a breakdown of your choices.

Use a dedicated app

Since NBC is broadcasting the game this year, the network would love for you to stream it through the NBC Sports App on various platforms like Roku, but that requires a login from a TV provider, which defeats our whole purpose here.

Luckily, other apps like Verizon’s go90, Yahoo Sports, and the NFL’s official app will also stream the game in real time for free, even if you’re not a Verizon subscriber. If you have a Google ChromeCast, you can send the stream to your big screen and watch it without hunching over a phone or a tablet.

Don’t hate on deep-sea critters. They've got to be weird to survive.

You can count on the deep ocean to spawn surreal creatures that, depending on your point of view, look very beautiful or very unnerving. A deep-sea fisherman in Murmansk, Russia, has taken to sharing some of his most striking catches on Twitter. The animals featured in Roman Fedortsov’s pictures have recently inspired comparisons to the movie Alien and Jim Henson’s fantastical creations. But don't take these fish at face value. Some of them may actually be a bit deformed in the pictures because their swim bladders—the gas-filled organ that helps them move up and down through the water—expanded at surface pressure, distending their bellies. “Fishes with swim bladders become distorted when brought up to the surface if they live at depth, and that certainly appears to be the case here,” Paul Snelgrove, a marine biologist at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada, told Popular Science in an email. Other stars of Fedortsov’s Twitter feed don’t use swim bladders to contr...
