Hey at least you got it. Our Fox has been "installing" their HDTV transmitter for 3 weeks. The analog goes out every Saturday and Sunday while they work on it. What moron set that schedule? Would not want anyone to miss Malcolm in the Middle on Tuesday morning. They have been delaying this while all the other networks have been up here for 3 years.

Its the referees!!!!

JUST kidding... maybe the picture looks so crappy because the team from the Pacific NW is stinking it up so badly that the fumes are distorting the image... God we suck tonight! If the Bears can keep this up and take homefield advantage they are Super Bowl Bound. I haven't seen another team this dominant.

Don't cry Roland. Last year it was my Steelers from my adopted town, this year it's my Bears from my home town!

I really hoped it would be a better game.

My mother in-law is a HUGE Seattle fan.

I'm waiting on her call ;-(

I should have known it would be a strange day when the Chiefs smoked Sandiego!

The Bears did look da*n good!

I'd have watched that game if it were broadcast on a 9" B&W tube and I constantly had to keep adjusting the rabbit ears.

On the other hand, the rule of the announcers having every game to mention blue collar fans, deep dish pizza, Chicago style hot dogs and great middle linebackers is a tad bit tiresome.

ok after further review.... the image quality of the hidef feed here in chicago was really bad.

the game was good from my aspect, but the image was grainny and kind smeared, not real sharp either. granted it ws much better than the analog or the sat version of same channel....

was i the only person that noticed this?

Also, I hear that Madden was saying over and over that Seattle was "out of sync"...

No sh&t!!... That's what happens when you get two big picks.

Also, everyone seemed to think that the game was tilted because Shaun Alexander was out... Last time I checked, Shaun didn't play defense, and they couldn't have won that game unless the defense figured out a way to stop the Bears offense.

I had the same problem in Barrington, and blamed it on the wind that kicked up around half time blowing my antenna around. Guess not, eh?

They can't think of anything else to say, and don't (I presume) have the intellectual capacity to drop by a museum, a decent restaurant, Millennium Park, a matinee of Wicked, or anything else that might serve to ennoble Chicago above a particularly large fly-over city.

Am I starting to sound like Alan or what?

The game looked good to me whenever the signal held up. Lots of detail, great color. Hughes H-20 tuning from a big 'ol Winegard antenna, Samsung display.

In case they had closeup shots of the stands, I was the fat guy in the blue sweatshirt sitting next to the fat guy in the white Urlacher jersey ;)
