Football or Scuba????

Go diving.. or mountain biking.. prolly the later. Sports on TV = booorrinnggg.

Participating in something wins out over sitting on your arse watching something.

Why is this an issue? so you cant afford TIVO. then pop a VHS tape in the VCR and record it like we did in the good ole days. Football come and go, but SCUBA cert is forever... really it is.

I'll second that.. I work in probably the most nerdy career ever--IT and most of my co-workers are spending money on computer parts or home theater/audio stuff.. typical technology oriented consumer.. a few throw their money into their cars.. 4x4ing and such.

Whenever I buy a new bike (read: not walmart bike.. racing bike and not gasoline powered.. but pedals you rotate yourself) or scuba related stuff.. or even spend a prolonged period of time outside I get a lot of "why would you want to do that?" and general "wtf are you doing" kind of sentiment.. not sure why the majority of our population in america is fine with just sitting inside all day/night watching tv. I think I would kill myself if all I did was go to work.. come home.. watch tv.. bleh. Just thinking about it is depressing.
