While watching the Chargers vs. the Patriots in HD on Charter cable I witnessed one of the best things that could have happened in football history. During the 4th quarter I could no longer hear John Madden or Al Micheals. It was magical. I could actually watch the football game as if I were there. The crowd noise was intact, you could hear the players talk smack, and the picture was still as clear as ever. I even switched back to the normal SD station to see if it was a glitch on the HD station or just NBC in general. Everything sounded like normal on the SD station. I could still hear Madden interrupting Micheals with his definitive “BOOM” comments and other alzhimers related comments. It was a blessing to switch back to HD and watch one of my favorite QB’s (GO BLUE) dominate the Chargers (even though I have LT in my fantasy league)

I vote to allow this type of wonderful broadcasting (mistake) be an option for all future broadcast games!
