This can be a college or professional game.  College games are often seen on weeknights on ESPN or ESPN, professional games are often seen on weeknights on 70 or 71 on Optimum.
I can let you know specific nights when there will be a game.  You can always search for a game on Youtube at any time.

1) Who are the teams playing in the game you are watching?
