For an extra $5 a month, sports fans can feel like their favorite athletes are sweating right on them

Sports fans who want to put themselves deeper into the game — and who own 3D glasses and a 3D-capable television — might want to check out Google's Fiber TV.

Fiber has launched two new 3D channels, including ESPN3D, which will deliver sports programming in three dimensions to customers.

That channel, 3net, featues "an extensive library of original 3D programming, including natural history, documentary, action/adventure, kids and family, lifestyle and cuisine, concerts, movies, scripted series," Google said on its blog Thursday.
