I’ll be the first to admit that I have a case of magnetic couch butt. It’s like I’m attracted to the sitting position. So I don’t play football, baseball, soccer, hockey, or, well, any sport at all. Nor do I watch any sport on my HDTV except for F1, which is only broadcast in SD. (Please, oh please Mr. Ecclestone, please bring us F1 in HD!) Today’s Penny Arcade sums it up. That said, there are a lot of people out there who at least like watching sports on TV, and I heard that there are others who actually play. Just imagine. Supposedly this whole sporting thing looks great in HD if you decide to watch instead of play. If you love football, HD “actually lets you see plays develop and see receivers get open downfield”, whatever that means.

So if you have sporting friends without HDTVs, you might want to do them a favour and point them to this article linked below.
