Alright so yesterday I completely spaced on the live Tony Stewart fight. Total bummer. Woke up today itching to watch that replay, figured it’d be simple, right? Yeah… not so much. Let me walk you through the headache.
First Thought: The Big Platforms
Grabbed my coffee, fired up the usual suspects:
- First stop: Peacock. Nope. Nothing listed.
- Jumped over to ESPN+. Scrolled and scrolled. Zip. Zero mention.
- Tried DAZN next. Searched “Tony Stewart”. Mainly old clips and news, no fight video.
Frustration level creeping up. Coffee’s getting cold.
Deeper Dive: News & Fan Sites
Okay, maybe the fight’s buried somewhere less obvious. Did a quick search:
- Checked major sports news sites. Lots of articles about the fight, results, hype… but no actual replay link anywhere in the articles.
- Wandered into some motorsport forums and fan groups. People were buzzing, arguing about the outcome… and finally, buried in page 4 of one thread, someone dropped the magic word.
Turns out, the broadcast was tucked away on a specific cable sports channel’s streaming app. Not a giant service like I assumed. Had to have an active cable TV login that included that exact channel. Who knew?
Making It Happen (The Slightly Sketchy Way)
My cable package? Didn’t have that channel. Classic. So, called up my buddy Mike – the one guy I know who actually pays for all the sports channels. Used his login details (promised him pizza), downloaded the specific channel’s app on my tablet, and punched in his info. Felt kinda weird using someone else’s login, but desperate times…
Success! The full fight replay was right there under “Recent Events”. Took me nearly an hour and relying on a buddy’s subscription to find it. So yeah, forget the usual big streaming names if Stewart or any big-name drivers fight – start digging into the actual niche sports channels nobody remembers they have. Might need to borrow access or pay extra for that one specific channel. What a mission.
