    NBA: CheckNCAA: CheckNASCAR: CheckPGA & IRL: ZzzzzzzzzzzzI guess I don't have much to complain about. A close game between the Pacers and 76ers is on ABC, NASCAR Nextel Cup action is about to kick off in Bristol on Fox, and CBS' sharp-but-pixely Elite 8 coverage is less than an hour away. But what if I wanted to check out Vijay, Retief, Tiger and the guys out at Sawgrass?  Golf is already boring to watch (it is, I like to play golf but watching it is like watching someone else take a walk in the park), in SD it's a no-go. The IRL (R.I.P. Paul Dana) keeps trying to tell me how big a star Danica Patrick is going to be but if I don't see her in 720p then well, I won't see her.

  • Anyone else checking out NBA TV's "Silent Game"?

    In case you missed it, today the NBA is broadcasting a game between the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets, with no announcers, and all sound coming from the arena announcer and courtside mounted mics. So far so good, it's so much like being there I stood in line for 20 minutes to get a beer from my own refrigerator. The only weird thing is going to commercial breaks because there's no segue.It's being broadcast in high definition on INHD1, so check it out This also an excellent opportunity to check out DARKONATION in action, recently freed from the Detroit Pistons who played the Cleveland Cavaliers earlier today. I didn't catch that game (too busy playing Fight Night), was it broadcast in high definition or another disappointment?
