For cord-cutters, how do you watch your football?

Question

I'm considering cord-cutting, but football and live news and local programming are the only things I think I'd miss.  How do you get those?  Just local antenna?  Did you have to buy a separate DVR or do you actually have to watch live?

Old fashion 'over the air' antenna.  They have DVR for it, like ChannelMaster, https://www.channelmaster.com/TiVo_Edge_OTA_DVR_p/rd6f50ls.htm 
Channel guide https://www.ontvtonight.com/guide/ and listings https://www.tvchannellists.com/
There are also sites and apps to show which direction to point your antenna to.

News sucks these days; highly sensationalized.

You can stream the games using NFL Game Pass. The downside is that you get replays of the games, not the live broadcast.

I use my phone's personal hot spot to watchESPN and the other similar apps on my 27" monitor. I can send it to my Apple TV if I want. Local programming can be seen using something like a Fire TV Stick or Fire TV.

Yeah, I use an antenna and watch live. No DVR. It's a culture shock every fall watching commercials again.

I usually just use an antenna when at home.  Before the unspecified virus of an unknown origin, I would go to a sports bar, and if on travel for work, just watch it on the hotel TV.
