Can you stream stuff from a PC to a chromecast or is it only for tablets and phones?
No, you can stream from a PC.

damn, times must be tough if you're holding down two 120k jobs and can't afford 120/month for cable.
if you are have internet with an ESPN partner (e.g. timewarner) you can use espn3/watch espn
You could do that a long time ago, but not any more (possibly depending on provider). I have Time Warner internet but do not have cable. My Time Warner log in does not work for Watch ESPN.
You can easily find illegal internet feeds of all NFL games and most college games, but the quality isn't always good. Most of the time, it downright sucks, actually. But there are also sometimes high quality HD feeds, especially for the primetime NFL games.
Anyway if someone in my area provides just internet I would drop Comcast faster than a bad habit.
nothing like watching the game-changing 3rd and 1 play, only to have your illegal internet stream get shut down at that very moment.
And my god were those ads a pain (and quite frankly dangerous to most systems).
Some get shut down. Most, however, do not. Quality of the feeds are a much bigger issue. There can be a lot of cutouts in many of them. The problem is that the sites that relay the feed often cannot handle the demand.
Huh? Ad blockers hand 99% of it. A couple of sites try to catch ad blockers and tell you to turn them off, but are easily bypassed.
Here's a typical one happening as we speak, for tonight's TNF game. Not bad.

meh, I've been down that road before and visited my share of those sites, I don't think my experiences are uncommon. Clearly YMMV and depends how good your network of sites are.

If you have a favorite team and you _have_ to watch the big game against the division rival, or want to watch playoff games in high quality, you're most likely going to begin thinking of going to a sports bar. And then you're most likely going to do what most people in sports bars do - eat and drink. In the end, your cable TV package is probably going to be less expensive.
Yeah they aint gonna let you sit there for 2 hours drinking water.
No, they will. They won't particularly like it, but I've never seen anyone kicked out of a bar for not buying something. Not unless they're causing trouble or being a nuisance.

I have been watching games on pirated streams for a very long time and have NEVER had one shut down on me in the middle of a game.
And learn how to use ad blockers, anti malware software/addons and whatnot.
Take your lame ill informed bullshit elsewhere.

as far as the espn thing mentioned in the quoted post above, that espn thing doesn't work for me. my parents have espn and optimum which i have also and at their house i can stream espn using their name and password. but when i go to the espn site to sign in on my network it won't let me put it a username and password it uses my IP, knows I don't pay for ESPN and says that service is not available.
Sports have a stranglehold on sports fans insofar as cord cutting is concerned. I've read about it, and a neighbor directly told me as much--only keeps cable because of the sports. Thankfully, they don't interest me so cord cutting was easy. My guess is more sports fans will cut the cord regardless, and NFL and others will come up with a paid internet approach, rather like HBO is about to do with its standalone internet package. We will then see what is currently a gradual decline in paid subscribers accelerate. It will be beautiful to behold.
