We have DirecTv and there is a new commercial for the “unday Ticket” subscription service (basically you get every NFL game) based on the “Golden Ticket” song from Willie Wonka singing how awesome the thing is in HD. (The commercial is actually kinda cute)

I guess I don’t get the appeal of sports, my family never played or watched any, and Mr Man eschews all forms of televised sports, so I’ve largely been spared the task of being forced to watch games.

Big screen I can see maybe, but why HD is so darn desirable for sports? Is someone dying because they have a fuzzy drop of sweat on someone’s brow instead of a sharp one? Do you really need to see the individual blades of grass?

I just don’t get it, someone please explain.
