A family of four spends a couple hundred bucks all together for a major sporting event


So I would say its more like 2 sporting events = a Nice TV

I was working under the assumption you were scalping tickets to the playoff game... i.e, you aren't going to get a family of four tickets to the NBA Finals for $50 a seat w/ free parking and then sit there and eat or drink nothing.

Using tiqiq.com, I looked up prices for Game 3 of the Heat/Spurs -- they are asking $355 for the cheapest ticket. For Hawks/Kings, it is $419... assume these end up going for half that price, and you're looking at $700 or 800 just in tickets for four people to go.

playing a $110 guitar is not like playing a $2,700 guitar.

Well, yeah...but it's not the same thing.

those guitar are ugly...

Come on, Doug! I'm sure you can pull some sweet sounds out of a $50 pawn shop special.

it's in the hands man...

Watching television isn't the same as being at a game. Chatting on Facebook isn't the same as meeting a friend at a bar. Discussing business over a Porterhouse isn't the same as using Go-To-Meeting. And jerking off to X-Hamster isn't the same as getting laid.

Ribeye
Strip
Filet

I'd agree but throw Sirloin in there between Strip and Filet...along with something like five or six line breaks.

You always put things in perspective.

No, it's actually better unless you have rich man tickets.

No.

Baseball and hockey are always better live. Football is better on TV. Watching basketball is rough from the 300 level.

No, it's actually better unless you have rich man tickets. My point is that unless you're sitting on the floor or close to the floor at the United Center you see a much better game on a big screen TV. Football, baseball and hockey are the same way, especially football. Watching the game at home is awesome because you get to pause, rewind, skip commercials, go to the bathroom and eat and drink whatever you want without paying the big money. Most of all you're not sitting in some tight seat with strangers getting drunk next to you as you listen to deafening sound systems and people using profanity.
