The invention of DVR was an awesome gift to sports fans everywhere. It allows sports fans to record their favorite teams games without having to keep a clunky old VHS player around. Being able to record games means you no longer have to schedule your day around sports. If a league decides to schedule a game mid-day on a Tuesday, you can always record it during the day and watch it that night. While you are watching the game you can rewind and make your own replays. Maybe most important to some people, you dont have to watch commercials.
The invention of DVR was a curse (although it was a small one) to sports fans everywhere. DVR means that when you record a late night game because you have to get up early for work the next day you have to shelter yourself from news and co-workers the whole next day for fear they might ruin the game. Trying to censor yourself from the sports world is a major pain. When that ESPN addicted co-worker innocently asks, "Did you see the Mariners lose again last night?" you suddenly wish you had just stayed up til ten. Watching a game that you already know the outcome of is nowhere near as fun as watching it when the outcome is unknown.
