You can hardly be blamed for thinking that the web can take care of your every need. You might require the odd Mountain Dew to keep the sugar levels up while enjoying your YouTube fix, but you can even order that online, if you don’t mind it arriving warm. The thing is, there is such a thing as spending too much time online. Take sports. No, not playing sports, my limbs have atrophied from sitting in this chair for too long to do that! Just kidding, but seriously I have a kick-ass 27″ iMac and even I am willing to concede that my 50″ plasma screen TV makes for a far superior viewing experience when I want to get my NFL fix. There’s nothing better than watching some guy getting absolutely pummeled by a trio of 275 pound linebackers live, on big screen HD thanks to Direct TV. Sure beats watching the replays online the day after.
I used to subscribe to cable and it would drive me a little crazy when I kept running into NFL games that were only available in standard definition. It’s not like it was a free system, so that bugged me. I hit Google and kept running into articles about Direct TV for business and when I looked into that a little bit further, it seemed obvious that if sports bars were using Direct TV, then that’s the system I should be looking at for home. I contacted www.directstartv.com, a killer online retailer, and they cut me a great Direct TV deal. Good-bye cable, don’t let the door hit you on the way out!
I saved enough compared to what I’d been paying those cable barons to treat myself to the ultimate NFL viewing experience, the Sunday Ticket package. Talk about a sweet investment, this gave me access to the NFL Network with its 24/7 football programming, enhanced games (thanks to the Direct TV interactive receiver) with live updates for other games and detailed stats, pre-game coaches shows, 200 games (including up to 14 every Sunday) and it’s all blasted onto my big screen in glorious HD. For a multitasking info junkie like me, the enhanced game feature is really cool. Being able to watch the game I want, but simultaneously view updates from the other games, as well as having access to team and player stats is the next best thing to having a computer with three screens.
It’s okay to be a computer geek and a sports fanatic -really, they don’t have to be mutually exclusive. With a Direct TV deal, you can even justify moving up from cable as being a money saving move -you’re not addicted to NFL football, you’re being fiscally responsible! Then you can give the Interweb a break on the weekend, sit on your nice, comfortable couch, and enjoy everything that Sunday Ticket has to offer. Even Lolcats can’t compete with this.
