    yahdtvt - yet another hdtv thread

    I live about 300 miles from the nearest Circuit City, Costco, or Best Buy, so unfortunantly must buy lots of stuff based on reviews. Kinda scary for a huge purchase. AVSforums looks indepth, but come on, 7000-reply threads for each model TV. I'm not reading that. I am looking for a new...

    YAFFT

    I got a dilemma here, but it looks like a good one to have. McNabb vs. TEN or Brees vs. CIN TEN sucks, but McNabb might hand off a lot Maybe CIN would end up in a shootout. Who would you start. Yahoo, normal scoring.

    How upset do you get when your team loses?

    I really get into Broncos football. I knew this was a 50/50 game going in. They lost. I am depressed and feel like breaking stuff. I can't scream and swear because of my children. I will teach them to scream "FVCK" at the top of their lungs when they are 13. How do you deal with a...

    Whoa, this post got messed up somehow. Anyway. This is a very basic, cheap system. I want it under $150. Like MP3 capability. An aux input would be nice, but not a deal breaker. I will not have an external amp, so high power will be good. It goes in a Escort wagon, so I might get...

    Do you have mp3 ADHD?

    I guess I have had this disease ever since the CD became mainstream. I listen to some of a song, then click to find one that fits my mood better. Listen, click, listen, click. Do you listen to entire songs or snippets? Do you shuffle an album, or listen to the whole thing?

    YAFFT - Quarterback Dillema, or is it?

    So, who to start? Trent Green is more consistent, but I think Priest Holmes will get rushing touchdowns. Jake Plummer can get a lot of yards, the running game is not up to par, and they are playing at home. Who would you start? Why? Please help, my team sucks, or at least the...

    Yahoo Fantasy Football question

    First time playing FF. I am anxiously watching our league, and nobody has scored yet. WTF??? 41 minutes after kickoff, and no points yet? McNabb has 2 TD's already. I though Yahoo updated really fast. Either it sucks, or I have my setting wrong or am stupid. Rant over.

    Best album ever. <drink> Seriously. In 1976, when the Eagles, Peter Frampton, and Heart ruled the rock airwaves, along came five scruffy young men (the lead guitarist was maybe all of 18 and dressed in a schoolboy's uniform) from Australia playing some of the rowdiest, hardest, dirtiest...
