We got rid of cable about a year ago, and I was concerned that my spouse would miss it since he loves watching sports. Thought for sure he'd cave and want it back in the spring during the NCAA tournament. Instead, he played more volleyball and did more mountain biking himself. We went hiking and biking and tubing together and got more stuff done around the house. If there was a game he really wanted to watch, we'd go to a bar or watch it over at a friend's house (one of our friends recently had a kid and are more housebound anyway these days). Even going out to a bar occasionally to watch is cheaper than having a $100+ recurring cost every month. Anyway, I guess if you really HAVE to watch all of the Olympics, you could delay, but there's always something sports-related going on, so there's always the danger that you put it off indefinitely. We were watching some of the pre-Olympic qualifying events OTA a couple of weeks ago, so there is some available for free at least.
