I cut the cable cord this past summer and never looked back. Had to keep the Comcast internet but run a Xbox and a roku player for my needs. Netflix, Amazon prime, Hulu, HBO go, showtime anytime, Cbs all access, and slingtv for viewing options. You will probably want to wait till football is over. Monday night football is on slingtv but the rest is hard to get.
You can always ditch the fancy cable and just get basic for football needs. It runs about 65 a month for basic cable and Internet without a promo.
