    'm at a loss to understand why I should pay extra for a better picture.

     

    It's not like the picture difference is small.

    It's not like the difference is life changing, either.

     

    I've never once watched a movie/sporting event/TV program in HD and thought to myself, "Son of a bitch, how did I ever watch TV without this?" It might be a better picture, but it's seriously not that critical; I've seen the difference between SD and HD, and I've never seen anything on TV, ever, where I thought to myself "Shit, I couldn't possibly enjoy this in SD. It's HD or NOTHING!" It's just not, by any measure, essential to whether I can or cannot enjoy what I'm watching on television and, frankly, I can't even conceive of why it should be.

     

     

    I disagree. The difference on a properly calibrated TV is really really noticeable.

    Well, the only charge by Comcast is for the box itself which is like $5-6 extra in this area. But HDTVs at $120? Are those located next to the $10 computers?

    Oh don't get me wrong, I don't expect to find a HDTV at that price. But I can get a regular tv at that price. I'm at a loss to understand why I should pay extra for a better picture.

     

    Maybe not so much for wrestling programming, but the change from a standard def TV to a High Def Tv(Properly calibrated, not how they are on the show room floor at Best Buy etc...) is HUGE.

     

    I can barely stand to watch any Standard Def programming now after I got my HD Tv last year. It's a monumental difference.

    Losers: Andrew Ference's respect level from other players and fans

     

    Really? It rose for me.

     

    "I'm glad I could help him out with the assist, goal, and the fight," said Ference with a smile.

     

    Add in that Crosby couldn't be a man and take his visor off and I think Ference didn't look all that bad. He finished his check and shoved Crosby back.

     

    Ference didn't take off his visor/helmet either... it got knocked off.

     

     

    Crosby held his own though. Earned some respect from people around the league too. 1 fight every 3 years or so.. I'm ok with.
