NFL's First Broadcast In 3-D, Still Has Work To Do
darkwing_bmf writes "The NFL broadcast a live game to theaters in 3-D for the first time on Thursday night. The technology demonstration was mostly successful but they still have some issues to work out. 'Some scenes clearly captured the benefits of 3-D broadcasts, however, such as an interception by Chargers linebacker Stephen Cooper as players crisscrossed the field, and a long touchdown catch by San Diego's Vincent Jackson with the arc of the ball caught on camera all the way. Viewers were encouraged to text in their reaction to the viewing. One of the first comments, according to the commentators: "More cheerleaders."'"
There are two types of people in the world, those who are comfortable with their sexuality, whatever it may be, and those who feel the need to denigrate others because they're afraid of their own feelings. Can you guess which group your post puts you in?
Can somebody explain what polarization is, and how some materials can block certain "orientations" of polarization?
Now all we need are cameras in the players' helmets and then we can all feel like we're really part of the game. Which might not be such a good thing when you see a 300-lb lineman with a full head of steam barreling towards "you". Might make for sloppy beer management...
Three kinds of people watch football:
1) Dumb kids
2) Closet homosexuals
3) Leering perverts
I'm not dumb and I'm not a homosexual, so I'm a leering perv.
See how easy it was to summarize your wordy post?
I'm guessing this AC feels your description of category 2 was insulting to him and his frat brothers.
(no offense, I just couldn't resist)
C'mon...screw doing it for football and cheerleaders....lets get into 3-D pr0n!!
Heck...skip that...just get VR pr0n, on demand....
But, then again...if that happened...mankind would likely cease to exist. I mean, once ever guy could have realistic sex with any woman he wanted, that wouldn't talk back, fake a headache, be on the rag, or threaten to take half his belongings if he switches models...no man would ever go back to the "real" thing ever again.
ON the other hand...this would allow more time to watch football in between VR sex romps.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.........
HD and technology like this can only help hockey, next to impossible to see the game on standard definition - you can't see the puck!
You forgot two groups:
1. People who actually watch football and care about it.
2. People who watch football as a 2-3 hour escape. "Ooh, sorry, honey. The game is on. How about in a few hours?"
Personally, I don't watch or follow any pro sports. I think they're all a waste of time and money, and I simply don't get it.

If you don't care about sports, then they have no meaning for you.
If you do, then they do.
And vice versa.
Life's like that. Only for some things your caring is built-in.
I'm not disagreeing with the NHL's lack of popularity but I can't say the NHL is full of whiny bullies...for the same reason that they have what you call a 'punch the guy out' subtext.
Think about it -- the NBA is full of whining millionaire prima donnas who leave a game with a hangnail. NFL has its share of whiners too, just look at the league's wide receivers. Players get hit but are much more well padded, and the offense usually doesn't dish out as much punishment as the defense does. And egos are much much larger. MLB -- if you want to discuss whiny, it's a grown man arguing with an umpire about a called strike three. Also, especially in the AL where a pitcher can throw at someone's head and not have to face retribution since they don't come up to bat.
In hockey, if the referee doesn't call it, someone usually takes care of the "problem" -- you don't get that in those other sports. Hockey has a set of unwritten rules -- stuff like always hit clean, don't bump the goaltender, and don't take shots after the whistle. When those unwritten rules get violated, hockey players don't whine, they show their displeasure in a more cathartic way.
I'd hate to actually go to a theatre for once, and have it overrun by retards...
You have not been to the movies lately, have you?
