    Sorry but I have to watch sports in 1080p HD, no other option, no way am I watching standard. HD kills the picture in picture, at least for me .

      I blame that JEW Nicky Santoro.

      Obviously the commissioners don't like him and are trying to screw him over. If it weren't for Nicky Santoro, I would be able to watch the NBA and NHL Finals live instead of having to download one after the fact.

              I think the hockey will do much better than you think....... if anything, I think the NBA will take a slight ratings hit.

                    Bettman is a genius guys, here's why:

                    After not making money in Phoenix for sooooo many years, why would you sell now, who sells low and buys high? This franchise is due to make money sometime, right? Even if he endures years and years of more losses, it's a good business decision to keep the team in Phoenix, only because Gary Buttman says so.

                    You see that twat during the state of the league address? LOL, what a fkn fool! He looked like he was having a seizure. I seriously wouldn't mind if that prick just keeled over and died right there on camera. He has done so much damage to hockey (2 strikes, pried 2 franchises away from Canada).

                          Probably NBC's call. Their schedule is dictated by whatever they want. CBC, the main Canadian broadcaster who actually pays millions of dollars for the rights wanted it on Saturday.

                            Nicky nobody gives a fuk about hockey in USA thats why, if there was no nba game no one would of watched anyway. I played the under just to make a bet and get the feeling of more action. I could not name one fukkin player on either team.

                              Bettman does suck, but you guys do realize that tv ratings and ticket sales are way up this year across the league.

                                      I like Betman actually. The Sunday thing was dumb but I watched the hockey game anyways and flipped during the stoppages to the NBA.

                                      Worked just fine for my liking.

                                        Bettman got the NHL back in Minnesota after the North Stars moved to Dallas

                                        so in my book...he's ok

                                        The Winter Classic has to be one of his best achievments.....

                                          With NBA games...you just have to watch the last 5 min to get whats
                                          going on....


                                          not true with hockey.....

                                          could get a goal in the 1st minute or the last 2 seconds....

                                                  Well, the ratings say the premise of the original post isn't valid. Ratings for Sunday night's NHL game were up 54 percent over last year's Game 5, which was played on a Saturday night.

                                                      You see, can someone now explain me this.. Rabbi Bettman always scheduled each game every 2 days, which is why we got stuck with 2 games same time SUN NIGHT.... now all of a sudden Rabbi Bettman skips a day and goes now 3 days in between games and the NBA, who usually skips 3-4 days in between, only skips 2 days and are playing tonight, even though they had to travel across the country.. go figure. but why couldn't the JEW Bettman skip 3 days before, just like now so we don't get stuck watching 2 games at once??

                                                      GO FIGURE


                                                      I swear, sometimes i think both these JEWS are just dumb.. RABBI BETTMAN and RABBI STERN... and i always thought JEWS were smart..

                                                            You're a total technological noob. NOBODY broadcasts in 1080p, even PS3 games aren't all 1080p and are 720p/1080i. You got suckered in by the sales people at Best Buy because the only thing always outputing 1080p are blu-ray movies.

                                                              Whatever, maybe the native output from the broadcast is less around 720. Either way I didn't get suckered in on anything because I'm watching on a beautiful full HD crystal clear lcd. You got a problem with that?
