What do I say this year? Do neither. That's right - neither. I used to watch at least 10 hours of football/week and another 10 hours on picking my fantasy team. This year I'm doing zero fantasy & watching maybe 3 hours of football. What I found was, as much as I love football - there are so many other, more important, things I could and should be doing with my time. What about you? I'm not calling anyone out - I know how it is... trust me! I'm just trying to come at it from another perspective. :-) Cheers!

Sure there are a lot of people, maybe the chance you run into someone and you get out of the apt. but it can easily add up. I would rather watch in my apt and get my own food and drinks if I desire.

First I would look into an online package similar to mlbtv. I had the similar debate when I tried to go without cable. Have no cable an miss the few games a month on espn and network tv. Or pay 60 a month for cable and get everything. Well when the first Yankees red sox game came sure enough we went to the bar to watch it and spen over 60 with food and drinks for 3/4 of the game. Needless to say we ended up ordering cable. Besides it's nicer with your own beer on your own couch. In your comfy clothes! I would go for the package.
