Dan Patrick was talking about this a few days ago. If someone were to give you 3 million dollars but said you could never watch another sporting event ever. Whether it's on tv or in person. If not how much would be your breaking point.
On the show they were talking about 300 million with no watching events and no alcohol...

Not a chance.
No money in the world to keep me from football and bourbon. I guess if I were a lot further down on the economic chain I'd consider it.

3 million is not enough. 300 million is a different story.

Could you check up on it stats etc... As in you can have no part in sports all together or just watching it live?
If not there is no amount of money imo

No. Someone could offer me 10 million, and I would refuse. What would be the point of an awesome TV if you can't watch sports?

What is the point of money if you can't do what brings you joy? I wouldn't take it.

Doesn't mean you can't read about it right? I'd take 300 mil with no sports and no alcohol. I'd find a bunch of other stuff to do with my life.

My guess is you wouldn't be able to watch anything involving sports.
Basically half of my channels would disappear and I'd stop going to Buffalo Wild Wings and sports bars.
That would be a sad life. Only hobby would be the girlfriend.

I'd do it but I would have to live outside of North America. Living in the US or Canada would be too hard to resist. Europe or Asia would be a lot easier.

Can one really replace their favorite hobby with money? I honestly don't know what i would do. I watch sports every single day. Sure, I could play video games until I'm sucked into the virtual world literally. That will get old sooner or later, then what? Can't watch my Mountaineers play terrible defense, can't watch my Steelers play, can't watch my Reds, can't watch my Penguins(can't do that right now anyway, thanks Bettman)...
Don't know what I would do with myself.

Shoot... 3 mil tax free, in a heartbeat. Sports suck now anyway.
30 mil and I would never even give it another thought.
300 mil and I would never even have a sports memory

Sports is just one thing to do. I would travel all over the world.

You can buy a lot of pot and cocaine for $300 mil, IMO.

That is where listening would come into play for me. 95% of Tigers games I listen to on the radio. 75% of Redwings. I try and watch Michigan FB, BB, and the Lions, but I have no problem listening to them.
