-It Inspires You To Get Active-- It's just basic logic. Cooking shows inspire you to cook and eat. Sports inspire you to get active.

-Watching Sports Is A Workout In Itself-- While it's not quite the same as going for a 10-mile run, yelling, screaming and waving your arms around while watching games burns an extra 100 calories per hour.

-You'll Live Longer-- Research has shown that improving your relationships with buddies helps you live longer. What better way to improve those relationships than by watching sports together?

-It Will Make You Smarter-- A recent study from the University of Chicago found that watching games is actually a workout for your brain. It improves the brain's ability to absorb and digest information as well as get you geared up to take action.
