The sheer number of folks playing tennis and golf far outweigh those of us wheeling, therefore I would venture to say more money is spent every year on these sports than we spend on wheeling.

X2, there are 4 people at work that play golf, and everyone but me watches "ball sports", I'm the only one thats into 4x4s or anything with a motor so I'd say all those @$$ holes spend more money on their lame hobbies than I do on mine...

In the words of my boss, " I made a sizeable 'donation' to the K-fund so that I could upgrade my season tickets for UK." Sizeable would be $10k or greater, plus the $$$ that season passes to b-ball and football cost plus he plays golf weekly during spring,summer and fall, I would say that he spends 15-20k per year on ball sports. I dont get it, but they don't get why I like doing what I do.

And yes, TV selection sucks.

TV selection sucks way beyond the lack of any real motorsports programs. Programming in general appeals to the lowest common denominator. I find myself more and more turning from the Big 3 networks and watching stuff on History, Discovery, HGTV, Food Network and even Smithsonian. At least you can learn something from them. I have a few shows that I watch on a regular basis on CBS like NCIS and Criminal Minds, but for the most part, I can do without them. Reality shows absolutely make me sick. I don't get the appeal of them. I don't care about the Kardashians, or who's getting plastic surgery, or some spoiled housewife, or some 16 year old girl that's pregnant. To me, those shows are what's wrong with society. Everybody is so into worrying about what other people are doing that they fail to deal with their own issues. Oh, and if I ever saw one of those beauty pageant moms that force their daughters into looking like little skanks in order to impress some 50-year old pervert judge out in public, I'd probably slap the piss out of them on principle. To me, that's nothing short of child abuse.

OK, I feel better now.

I've been using rabbit ears for over 20 years now. I bet I watch 2-3 hours of TV a week. But generally I have no shows that I'm drawn too. I like to watch the biggest loser while eating chips and cheese on Tuesdays, however; if I miss it, oh well. I keep telling my wife I could live without a television in the house. But that would mean she wouldn't be around to make me my chips and cheese so I guess it will have to stay. For now.
