How can my old man watch the browns this year

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

This is some next-level scamming right here.

The only thing that puzzles me is that a guy with this level of creativity/internet savvy should have figured out how to pull in seven figures annually already, and so shouldn't need to worry about just paying full price.

You're showing your age.

Most kids who have grown up with the internet have learned every trick in the book.

And let's not even touch on your quaint idea that the economic system we exist in is a meritocracy. There are people working for poverty wages at Best Buy who are far smarter and worthy of merit than people I've worked with making six figures.

@southernflyer's method is good no doubt. I also think we can improve upon it.

We could go out and get a .edu email yourself. This way you don't need to constantly switch google accounts or anything like that. If you're fine gambling and feeling really thrifty, you can typically get someone to give you a .edu email on Fiverr for around 5 to 12 bucks. If you feel like being a little more by-the-book, a lot of community colleges will give you an email immediately after applying--without signing up for any courses. You just need to find one that does this and has no application fee (or a small enough application fee that it's worth it to you)

Once you have that .edu address, unidays is typically where most of the .edu discounts are listed and available. They extend far beyond just discounted Sunday Ticket.

What I said was intended to be a bit tongue in cheek.

But as to your point...how many people here actually read what he wrote and were impressed, or realized they'd never thought of that? Not everyone posting/reading on this thread looking for that kind of info is an aged boomer.

There clearly are plenty of non-Boomers running around who don't have his - or your - level of internet scam-savvy.

Feels like I struck a nerve.

There are probably lots of people who didn't think of that--but that's not the "showing your age" part.

The "oh my god, you're so smart you should put that ingenuity to work and be a multi-millionaire instead!" is.

There's nothing wrong with being older. The people who didn't grow up with the internet and piracy definitely have a different frame of mind around these things--as do some of the younger generations who grew up with everything being so convenient and omnipresent that they never had to understand it in order to get it to work.

Does he have Paramount Plus? If so, regardless of where he lives, there's a one-time work around/hack where he can set his permanent address on his Paramount Plus account as Cleveland and be able to stream the local CBS station in Cleveland.

For what it's worth, I don't believe you can pause live TV while streaming on the Paramount+ app, which is annoying.

You cannot. It is frustrating.

Just set him up with a 35$ fire stick with Kodi on it. Show him how to navigate The Crew and The Loop add-ons and be done with it.

I’m in.

I hacked the mainframe.

Everyone follow this link so we can watch live and argue over whether our shitty team is going to score more points than the other team.

Penny pinching transcends economic classes.

If your (David's) father isn't willing to pay the price offered, maybe he should consider that the free games are good enough....Or better yet realize that paying that much money to watch your preferred football game on TV should be saved/spent elsewhere.

The straight answer here is - delve into shadowy/semi-criminal/unethical behavior or decide pro football actually kind of sucks and accept the freebies. Or pay 500 bucks to watch any NFL football game on his living room, bedroom, RV TV or on his phone while taking a steaming dump and call it a day.

So did anyone attempt the college login trick?

Guarantee you THOUSANDS of people are trying to do it. Success rate? I hope is poor.

So I fucked up? My daughter goes to school and hour away at UofA and I could of just had her make an account? Save $300?

I was going to suggest that if you have a relative in college, it's probably the less shady route to go to get the discount. I know people who have done this. I don't think matters what regional they are in, NFL ticket works all over the country.

Have you or someone you know done this for Browns regular season games before?

It probably needs a VPN to work. Geolocation might come into play depending on the device your trying to use.

Also there will games on Fox at some points in the season when the Browns play NFC teams.
