We don’t know if CNBC will ever broadcast in high definition. Of course it might even drive us Mad if they do...but HD is here to stay
The geeks at Gizmodo are early adopters...and you have to get with the program if you are going to hang with these guys
Step One: TV
There is a lot more that goes into selecting a TV for the Super Bowl than you may think. If you are thinking about going low-def, then close the browser now, because you have lost all of my respect and I would prefer you not reading my guide.
CNBC might be waiting for more widespread adoption of the technology...but we are getting closer every day.
The geeks are calling it as they see it....#41 is the first official HD Super Bowl:

Fortunately, this year CBS has the honors of broadcasting the Super Bowl. It will, of course, be in HD. I like to call this the first year the Super Bowl will truly be in HD. Last year FOX had the rights to the Super Bowl broadcast, and even though they did air it in HD, many markets at the time did not have FOX in HD. Hell, I still don’t have FOX in HD on my cable service one year later (Cox, you listening?). Gizmodo
PREDICTION
BEARS 73 Colts 0
The 1985 Bears were blunt and wacky. Payton, for example, constantly pulled practical jokes, including setting off firecrackers in the team’s practice facility.
Ditka was often at odds with defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan, and the two nearly went at it at halftime of the Bears’ 38-24 loss at Miami on Monday night in early December.
At a meeting the night before the Super Bowl, defensive end Richard Dent recalled, a teary Ryan informed his players that he was going to become the Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach and told them: “You guys are going to be my champions. Let’s kick some tail.”
Hampton then kicked a film projector out of defensive line coach Dale Haupt’s hands, and defensive tackle Steve McMichael flung a chair across the room, its legs impaling a chalkboard. AP/Andre Seligman
