So I Now Have HD...

It is changing my life, for the better.

I can't tell you how I made it through almost two years of watching a legit television in standard definition. I guess, I don't know. I mean, watching "Shooter" in black and white would still probably be a life altering experience. I do live in the, "patron state of shooting stuff."

So obviously I forked over the whatever it is per month to get the sports package. Basically I only got it so I could watch like, four extra NFL games, next season, but I did something I hadn't done in a while last night. I watched hockey.

Now, this wasn't for a long period of time for two reasons. First, Maria Sharapova was playing, and playing well. Plus, she's looking better than usual, which is nice. Second, Music HD is the best channel ever and they had the Isle of Wight concert on so I got a half hour of The Who followed by 30 of Bowie. It was huge.

This being said, HD hockey is going to bring me back into the sport. The clarity of the picture makes all the difference in the world. The biggest issue with hockey? The puck is so small, it goes so fast, and things happen around the feet so much that it's easy to miss major happenings. In standard def. HD makes all the difference.

So from here on out, expect more hockey posting. Especially since college basketball is terrible this year.

I mean the Vols are playing well, up until the other night but other than a personal level, we can analyze the season very quickly. First, Hansborough is the man. Second, UNC will win it all. Third, all of the most exciting players are freshman and won't be around next year. Fourth, none of them are as exciting as Kevin Durant, so it's even more terrible. Fifth, Kansas won't win it all. Questions? Comments? Didn't think so.

So look for more hockey, even with Crosby out.
