re: Steps in a Mile. There are roughly 2,000 steps in a mile, although it varies on how tall you are because of your stride. So if you walk 10,000 steps in a day, you are walking about 5 miles. On average, Americans walk about 2,000-2,500 steps in a day. It will require some extra effort to get to 10,000.
Thanks to an exclusive contract with the NFL, DirecTV offers two packages to subscribers: the NFL Sunday Ticket ($40 per month for six months) and the supersized NFL Sunday Ticket Max ($55 per month for six months). Both options allow subscribers to tune in to any out-of-market NFL game on Sunday.
HBO offers a streaming service, and Showtime is following suit, but consumers shouldn't expect a bargain. There's only one reason most pay-TV viewers in Southern California aren't watching Dodgers games: They're too expensive. Time Warner Cable, which has exclusive distribution rights for the games, wants other pay-TV companies to charge subscribers as much as $5 a month for its Dodgers channel. Providers such as DirecTV and AT&T, which would receive about a third of that amount, say $5 is too pricey for their customers.
