Very Serious financial decision

If the Bills keep this up, should I get NFL Sunday Ticket?

The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

I payed $200 to Cox for their baseball package. It's kind of pricey, but worth it as there are so many baseball games.

How much is the package with your provider for football? I'd think it to be substantially less as there are so few football games each season.

$289

And the alimony would add on how much?

3hrs my azz, MV! That's what my DH tries to claim... HMM, 3hrs for the actual games... then 1 hr every night on ESPN, watching them shout each other down with stats & speculation... 1/2 hr each night watching the recaps on other news channels (CNN & FOX, usually)... 1 hr a week talking with his Dad about the games & plagiarizing the stats he learned from ESPN like he knew it himself...

That adds up to more like 20.5hrs a week!

DH would be sued for my legal fees as well as alimony, if he ordered that package!

But other than Sunday's game - all that is free.

All you get are the games

They might be free monetarily, but the cost is having a steaming wife yammering in your ear about your "checking out of life" & occasionally throwing the remote across the kitchen!

So I was told about the Speed Channel. We are now up to Formula 1, Indycar, road rallies, NASCAR Sprint Cup, NASCAR Busch Cup, NASCAR truck racing (!!!), classic auto auctions, air racing, boat racing, motorcycle racing, and discussion shows on all of the above. The only thing that he doesn't watch is motorized unicycle slalom racing, and that will doubtless be on in a couple of months. In HD.

Luckily, DH considers the living room couch pretty comfortable!
