BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: NFL on HD TV?

NFL on HD TV?


HD TV offers amazing image clarity and it looks perfectly 3D and all that, but given how often the networks insist upon showing us the old white men who own NFL teams... I've got two bulletproof arguments against watching the NFL on HDTV. Jerry Jones and Al Davis.

If you need a third reason, you can add aging starlets to the list.

Honestly, most people are pretty damn ugly, if you look closely. You don't want or need to see them that clearly, even after the make up artists have had at them. I was just watching some of the Monday Night Football game(s), and they showed a close-up of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones making a nuisance of himself on the sidelines, and I literally had to look away. And our TV is not large, and is certainly not high definition. He looks like he's turning into a skeletal lizard, one that's undergoing open face surgery to treat an outbreak of melanoma.
Comments:

Yeah, the problem is that half of the "HD football" stations don't show "HD football." They simply charge you for "HD football" and give you "normal football." At least in my experience. The "bastards"...


 

that might not be such a bad thing when there's a Jerry Jones closeup?
