s/o--- if you cancel cable, how do you watch sports?

This may be a silly question, but if you cancel cable and just use Netflix, etc, how do you watch sports?

You don't, at home.

Broadcast TV over the air with an antenna. ESPN3 on computer through my internet provider. Some additional streaming - NCAA typically has streaming option for the Tourney (basketball).

You don't, or you get an antenna. Imagine all the time you'd have to do things that are actually worthwhile.

I take the $2000 a year I save and pay burly men to run around my backyard instead.

We don't. DH never watched sports. I love the nfl, but since having kids I find I have better ways to spend my time.

S/o -- I am a baseball nut. Does streaming online baseball work well?

DH pays for MLB streaming-it works pretty well except you can't watch your local team until after the game is over.

For everything else, he makes do with what's on broadcast or he goes to a sports bar for the occasional game he really wants to watch that's only on cable.

We dropped cable and lasted about 6 months. Sometime in early August, the reality of no SEC Football really hit us. It was easy to give up everything else on cable, but not Saturdays Down South.

I so want to do this but DH is a rabid Caps fan ...

We use a rooftop antenna to watch sports over the air. We don't see anything that's ESPN-only unless it's the Redskins.

With certain Internet providers, you have free ESPN access on the iPad. We're not huge sports nuts so we have lasted about 8 months since we dropped cable when we moved.

Other things I do
Follow realtime updates online
Listen to games on the radio
Bought tickets to see a game I cared about live
Bring a 6-pk or bottle of wine to my neighbor's house
Broke down and went to a sports bar Friday night.

I might give in and get cable.

I've never watched a game after it was over unless it was a highlight review. This would not work for us.
