As I posted elsewhere, I gave up cable about a year and a half ago. I worried about losing access to sports like NFL games and playoffs, World Series, etc. But that turned out to be no big deal. I don't really miss most of the games and quickly found other useful things to occupy my time on Sunday afternoons. Actually it felt like I had my weekends back again!

When there is a big game on that I want to see, there are plenty of friends and family I can call upon. All I have to do is mention I'll bring over beer and appetizers and they toss out the red carpet for me! It also got me seeing friends and family a little more.

In a pinch, I'll just go to one of the neighborhood bars. I saw the Red Sox win the World Series in a Buffalo Wild Wings last fall. We had a blast. Much better than watching at home.

But all in all, I watch much less sports these days and that's a good thing too. More time for reading and Freeping.

I have my Roku box with Netflix for when I want to see TV shows or movies. True, Netflix doesn't have everything but they have enough content where I will never have time to watch it all in a hundred years.
