[QUOTE=Mattyk72;257746]Yeah but CBS loses points with me since they don't carry all the games in HD.[/QUOTE]

I read an article about that recently in Broadcast & Cable magazine and they said that it's basically quantity over quality. It is supposedly very expensive to broadcast the games in HD with all the equipment and shit like that so CBS invested in state of the art HD equipment and cover only a few games in HD whereas Fox basically invested in lower level equipment and they cover all the games. I agree with you though that it sucks that CBS only broadcast only a few games a week in HD, but I was really happy to hear that they are doing the Super Bowl this year.

So CBS is cheaping out basically.

With all the revenue the NFL generates and all the money the networks spend on these NFL deals, I don't want to hear about HD being too expensive.

Speaking of broadcasters who do you think is the best play-by-play man and best analyst for NFL coverage? I think Jim Nantz and the old mainstay John Madden would top my list.

And not only that, he is an idiot. If he is arrogent but he knows what he is talking about, then I have less of a problem. But usually he is talking about stuff that doesn't make any sense and then Clayton comes on and owns him.
