I also watch sports at my local bar.. now I have a whole different 'genre' of friends who happen to not spend their day in front of a computer. Socially, it has been quite a learning experience! If you lack self control with regard to TV watching I can't recommend enough how much better your life will be. If your scared, try cutting the AC power cord. Give it a week.

If your scared, try cutting the AC power cord. Be sure to unplug it first :)

  Be sure to unplug and if it's an old crt, wait for an hour or so - those tubes can carry a heck of a static charge!

    It will not discharge on AC cord.

      That may be the theory, but believe me, in practice it's not always true. I ended up with a reprimand on my service record when a technician working for me in the Air Force did precisely this, cutting the ac cord, with a pair of uninsulate scissors, which then went flying across the room. The reprimand was because I hadn't put measures in place to stop technicians using uninsulated scissors for technical work - fair enough. I'm guessing that the ground wire in the cable hadn't been correctly hooked up to the ground pin in the plug, a not uncommon flaw in cables...
