See, this is the problem with cutting the cord. Every time sports is brought up, the suggested solutions are
A. Go to a bar
B. Go to a friend/family member's house
C. Get a friend/family member's cable password.

Those are not viable long term solutions IMO. People with kids can't pack up every weekend to hang out at a bar or restaurant for hours to watch games. The relative option is available, but not everyone wants to have a big get together every weekend for games, especially if there are game you want to watch but they don't. If I was paying for cable and here you come asking for my login info so you can't get by without a $100/mo cable bill, I'd tell you to fly a kite.

Offer to chip in on the cable bill and there are plenty of people who would accommodate you. I think we're going to see more and more stand-alone offerings that aren't tethered to a cable/satellite subscription. CBS has already announced its a la carte channel and I can see ESPN, HBO and others following suit.

Tell them to get netflix and you get their password. That's how our family does it. I did watchespn, brother did netflix, sister did hulu, dad has hbogo
