Not renewing Sunday ticket this year.. anyone else?

[MrYeahBut]

It's ridiculous what you guy's pay for Sunday Ticket.

I have a Sports Pack with my local cable company for $29.00 a month that gives me:

NFL Sunday Ticket
NHL Centre Ice
The NBA package
The Major League Baseball package
A Premier League soccer package
A College football and Basketball package
Junior and College hockey

Is it extra for the Darts, Curling and Chuckwagon Race channels??

I have had DTV's Sunday Ticket since it's inception, but I can't get myself to renew it.. Still be a Cardinal fan.. will catch them when I can, but I can't get over the BS with the lockout etc.. Not going to support this greed with my wallet any longer.

Anyone else here come to a similar conclusion?

Last year was the 1st time I have not had NFL Sunday Ticket in my home since it started. The cost just kept sky rocketing but I renewed every single year faithfully. It just hit that breaking point for me in terms of costs versus value and I decided to not renew last season.

I seriously thought last year was going to be utter torture for me not having it. It's been a staple on my dish. To my surprise....I didn't really miss it. I thought I would and I really didn't. As an added bonus that is money to spend elsewhere.

I have not looked back and this will be my second year without it. The first step to recovery is admitting the addiction.

I cancelled last year after having been with it since the beginning. I wish I could say I got rid of it so I wouldn't have to watch Derrick Anderson but I dumped it because I got tired of having to call every year and beg them not to rip me off. It turns out I didn't miss it all that much - at least until Sundays when I was forced to beg my neighbor to put the Cards game on.

Probably cheaper to supply your neighbor with his favorite beer every sunday......

If that happened, I wouldn't be upset. Would just get the soccer package.

Or watch the Rugby World Cup

Which, of course, I would advise everyone to take a look at, especially the prelims, cause that is where all the action is.

Yeah but he's a Cowboys fan. No amount of beer is going to get him to let me watch my Cards if his Boys are playing. Plus, if one of us played early and the other late, I pretty much had to watch both games. It really sucks to watch the Cowboys win and then sit around with a Dallas fan while you watch your team take it in the shorts. Even though they only won a single game more than we did it was still torture. I still don't know how you can stuff that much arrogance in such a small package.

That is extremely funny.

Yet I like curling for some reason. It is kinda like the Deadliest Catch where I cannot explain why I cannot stop watching people do something over and over again.

Chuck Wagons!

When I was at the Calgary Stampede one year watching the chuckwagon races live was really a blast....couldn't get enough of it.

Darts on TV though....

It's very big in Great Britain, and the TV production (big voiced announcers doing shot-by-shot and crowds wildly cheering) is entertaining.
