All NFL games on CBS will be in HD this season, Finally!

Wow, how long have we been waiting for this? The Tiffany Network that practically invented football in HD, has been making way too many HD fans who follow the lower ranked teams in the NFL -- poor Browns' fans -- suffer through SD football just about every Sunday for as long as we can remember. Meanwhile the last broadcast network to go HD, would deliver almost every game in HD, every week. Well enough is enough, and the very credible Ken H from the AVS Forum has brought out his Magic 8 Ball -- which has a much track record then the one on our desk -- and confirmed that CBS is going to live up to its promise that for the 2008-2009 season every single NFL game on CBS will be presented in HD. All we can say is, about time.

It's actually mandated by the NFL this year that all games be in HD for all networks.

It's about time. Pro Football is perfect for HD.

Fantastic!

FOX, are you listening? Do you have any statements you want to make?

Atleast in years past FOX would have all of their games in Widescreen, whether in HD or SD, it would fill up the whole screen.

16:9 SD > 4:3 SD
FOX Sports > CBS Sports

I think FOX has already said that all NFL games will be in HD this year... I live in Dayton, Ohio (Browns & Bengals area) so I do not think I have seen an HD game on CBS ever!

(I'm kidding but you get my point)... I'm a Dallas fan anyways.

Ironically, the year that CBS finally gets all games in HD, the Browns have become good enough to play 5 primetime games and probably 2-3 nationally televised HD games anyway.

OK, this is old news. How old? Well, this is when I first saw it... On this very site! http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/05/07/cbs-to-offer-more-hd-nfl-all-games-in-hd-by-2008/

So the link I posted is in the article as well. But in that link is article that has the original announcement that the NFL mandated all games be in HD starting in the 2008 season. That's why I said this is old news...

So the Browns' march to the SuperBowl will be in HD this season? Great! It hurts my eyes to watch a blury SD game stretched across 55".

Uhh, then don't stretch SD content?
