That's what I do! Although I'm not sure what the "pre-packaged" comment means ... But, yeah, the sentiment about "sports rocking" is the point - if you're way into sports, you probably have expensive cable/Sat channels, jerseys and/or other paraphernalia, and probably go to games. So let's go to the big board ... Sports that you view (vs. play) -------------------------------------------- Monthly sports costs: let's say $50 for cable/sat costs = $6000/yr Yearly costs: say $500 on crap; $1500 on games, food, fantasy crap, etc. So that's $8000 per year on something to view which is purely discretionary entertainment; that is, sports viewing serves no other purpose than for viewing vs., say, buying a fancy car which also provides transportation (or a house for that matter). That's pretty expensive and I can't think of any type of entertainment that costs as much and who's yearly inflation is higher. Is that bad or good? Probably neutral, but interesting nonetheless. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:241175 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
