I got HD in 2004 for football. The first two games I watched were in HD. Then the third week the Colts game was in SD and I was pissed. I sent an email to the local CBS affiliate and called them to complain about my discust for not airing the Colts game in HD.
The answer I got was one of the most stupid things I had ever heard. "The NFL picks between 4-8 games to be broadcast in HD and the rest are SD." Let me re-say that first part - "The NFL picks" not CBS (or Fox) picks which games are done in HD. What?
I was a little pissed that ALL games weren't done in HD, but this year I remembered and was still pissed that the NFL picked only certain games to be done in HD. Seriously - put them all in HD. Its not like the equipment isn't at each stadium since the NFL picks the games, and this year all teams had at least 1 home game in HD. Man I can't wait until 2009 when they are forced to put it all that way.
