EXACTLY. I love football...and I really love watching it with my 17-year-old son. But why would I pay all of that money on a CONSISTENT basis to see it (I can understand doing it once for the experience)?
I can sit in my chair...rewind when I want...pause when I want...MUTE when I want...and if I don't like the commentators...I can simulcast on a radio station.
AND...I can drink the beverage of my choice for a LOT cheaper.
And there is parking and the fun drive. :)
Now add to that for the price of the tickets for you and your boy for one game, you can buy NFL Season Ticket and watch all the games.
