Of all the major sports networks , the NFL has by far the most convoluted broadcast rules . With games split between three major networks—ESPN, streaming services like Amazon Prime, and its own NFL Network—it's tough to figure out exactly how to watch your favorite team. While we have a comprehensive breakdown of how to watch every NFL game, the simplest way for most people is to use a broadcast antenna. While anyone over the age of 30 will remember TV antennas , a lot of people assume that broadcast TV disappeared when everything switched to digital. But that's not true! In fact, broadcast quality has only gotten better since then. These days, most people around major metro areas can catch every headline broadcast network in crystal clear HD with nothing more than a cheap, low-profile antenna. Best of all, this includes all NFL games that those stations broadcast. Any games on CBS, NBC, or Fox that haven't been blacked out are available over the air; all you need is a...

UFC ownership, boxing promoters and UFC fighters are all stakeholders in this event. Christian Petersen/Zuffa LLC/Getty Images Mayweather vs. McGregor is a blockbuster event, and there are more than a few stakeholders involved. While the two competitors are the ones putting their lives on the line, they carry their sports' reputation into the ring with them. Because of that, it's worth discussing what they, and those around them, stand to gain or lose.           Floyd Mayweather In theory, Mayweather has a great deal at risk in this fight. A large part of his brand is tied to his perfect record, and The Money Team is already prepping to roll out 50-0 merchandise commemorating his breaking Rocky Marciano 's 62-year-old undefeated record. With that kind of record on the line, there's no pretty way to take a loss...but being felled by a 0-0 McGregor would undermine the legitimacy of his entire career.  That said, this article isn't previewing a bout involving Floyd ...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Deon Simon is motivated by his painful past. The darkest moments came while he dealt with a severe knee injury and academic issues as a senior at Baton Rouge's Glen Oaks High , leaving his future on and off the field uncertain. "It was a hard time," the New York Jets defensive tackle said after a recent practice. "I didn't know exactly what was going to happen at the next step, the next level. It's been tough, but I stuck with it. I put it upon myself that I won't be denied." Today, the 27-year-old Simon is a promising backup on Todd Bowles' defense and a Northwestern State graduate who has aspirations of becoming a U.S. Marshal when his playing days are over. "I definitely think about all that," Simon said. "Where I come from, how I stuck it out to get to this point, I think about it all the time." At 6-foot-4 and 332 pounds, Simon is a physically imposing presence . But his calm, soft- sp...

Lee Valley VeloPark Standing on the tenth floor of TfL's soon-to-be offices in the heart of the Olympic Park, there's a panoramic view of Stratford and the rest of London beyond. The landscape is littered with cranes and unfinished tower blocks like the one we're standing in. Among them there's a sprinkling of former Olympic venues that provided the catalyst for this re-imagined Stratford to occur. Or did they? A huge slice of the changes in the Olympic Park comes from International Quarter London . IQL is run by property development company Lendlease , and totals up to 4 million sq ft of offices. Lendlease also built the luxury apartment complex Glasshouse Gardens in the Olympic Park and, originally built the Athletes' Village for the games. The team here knows intimately the rapid changes the area has undergone. Kevin Chapman, head of offices at IQL, tells us, "what we've had to do is bring the commercial office element into the Olympic Park as part...

Foxtel's coverage of the AFL and NRL is first class, now we can watch international games live and in high definition. The thought of this, even 10-15 years ago, would have been unthinkable. And the commentary is, generally, of a high standard. That said, I really cannot see or understand the logic or rationale behind the recently adopted practice of interviewing players coming off the field during the half-time break. Surely it is unreasonable to expect players coming in at half-time to readily come up with any deep and meaningful analysis of his/her performance or that of the team when all the player wants to do is have a quiet drink and unwind. It would also be appropriate to remind players that officials are now "wired for sound" and of the need to moderate their language during the game and in after-match interviews. Some of the comments are colourful, to say the least. Andrew Rowe, Florey Centre design flawed A new National Convention Centre is wrongly proposed...
