[QUOTE="TyTy, post: 422025, member: 7891"] Something to think about here...big change coming up in football with the new networks, in particular the SEC Network which is almost final is my understanding. Does that mean all SEC games will now be on ESPN? If so ESPN internet access would be interesting, wonder if that will change? I wonder if they will 'sell' the SEC Network over the internet direct to subscribers instead of having to go through a cable provider. As a follow up to my previous post on the evils of TV, I have total a little over 3 years (in two stints) of not having any cable/TV under my belt. I still watch stuff on the computer, youtube and movies, and one show online (CMT Party Down South, complete junk food type TV) but overall my TV watching/computer time has reduced 80-90%. In the past two plus years since I cut it off I have been more productive than ever. At the start of this year I started working out and eating better and have lost 41lbs and am in the best shape I have been in since college. I have read so many books, almost all non-fiction and have learned a lot and changed the way I think about certain things considerably which has impacted my behavior and my path in life for the better. I also spend all my time after work with my son until he goes to sleep which was a big reason why I cut the TV off this time around. The last benefit I would mention is that I am proudly, not up to date on current events. I try to ignore the media all the bullshit they rant on and on about, there is nothing I can do to change any of it so no sense in stressing over it. In other words I have taken most of that average 34 hours of TV time per week and invested it in better things and it has paid off for me. It isn’t obvious at first but after you refocus that time into new and better things it really starts to add up. I am very glad to have traded that time for the rewards I have today. I can only imagine how it will add up over the next 5,10,20,30 years. [/QUOTE]
