I just ignored a lump thinking it was sports-injury related or just something that would go away, lol. Incredibly stupid in hindsight, and I'm very fortunate to be here now.

Eli Manning: "I appreciate him giving it to me. I don't think it took a rocket scientist either. A guy was running open and I hit him."
Well if that's the case (and watching the play over and over again, it very well could be) then it's Wilson's fault. Not the first time he's been poor in man coverage, won't be the last either. :/

Is a 55 inch Panasonic Viera plasma for $699 a good deal?

I was (and really still aren't) a fan of Jim Haslett, and granted the defense hasn't been all that great this season, but I have to give him props on keeping shit together enough to keep us in games with Carriker and Orakpo out. Kerrigan showing flashes of beasting is nice to see too. Hopefully he carries this over to next season when those guys are healthy.
Depends highly on the specs of the tv.
The brand alone does not mean it is a good television.
Go to the avsforum and read about the particular model and you will learn more than you ever wanted to know about that and every other television.

Im pretty sure its this one.Its an open box at Best Buy.

That's a pretty good deal depending on the state of the TV. The S series isn't their top of the line, but it's still good. Be prepared for how heavy and hot a 55" plasma can be
I got the 55 inch last October and it's pretty awesome. I don't watch a lot of 3D on it but the few times I did it was fine. Not sure if that's my exact model, I can check tonight, but to put in perspective, I paid 1400 for mine last year.
According to what I read in 5 minutes of research on Amazon and AVS (you lazy git) it seems to be a very solid TV and that seems to be a lot cheaper than what it sells at amazon.
Buyer beware of open box items. I have personally never had a good experience with that stuff, but maybe you will do better.

I love both of my 46" Panasonic Vieras. It all comes down to the features you want/need on that individual set.
I have a 60" kuro and it's fucking incredible. It was the sole decorating choice I made when we built this house. I'm getting ready to retire it to the basement though. I need to spend more time down there anyway!

Thanks guys.
The defense was having these problems even with a healthy Carriker and Orakpo. Truthfully our secondary giving up backbreaking passing plays in games has been a routine feature since 2007. You could perhaps make an argument things would be better if Brandon Meriweather was playing, but even then...
By all accounts the Kuros are still unmatched even three years later.
My plasma doesn't get hot, have there been problems with overheating?

Lions update:
I have the Panasonic VT50 and it's pretty fucking incredible in its own right for far less of a price point than Sharp's LCD's (with pretty close black levels). If you have $2k to spend, the VT50 is where you should be putting that money today if you want a pretty fucking amazing TV, IMO.
Yes, that's a good deal. ST50's are nice.Alligatorjandro said:
Black level? Yes. The Pioneer Elite Kuros are still unmatched along with many other categories. Sharp has take on the Elite brand with their Elite LCD's which have some pretty incredible black levels of their own but fall short of the Pioneer Plasma.Dragon said:

I actually know people who have paid geek squad to come and set up their router.

On one hand they are idiots with technology, but on the other hand I am always happy that I did not have to waste my time and do it for them. This is one of the big reasons I always recommend Apple products to tech idiots. In my experience it ends up saving me a shit load of time.

I have a 55" Sony DLP in our living room. I'm hoping we'll get to redo the room in a couple of years after my wife gets her Masters and I'll get to upgrade the TV.

My kids name is Viera, so I say yes.
I actually wish I had had a TV expert come out to perfectly tune my TV, but there was no one within any reasonable distance to me. I used one of the blu-ray systems but I still think it could somehow look better.

I have had this thing for 5 years now, just replaced the bulb this year. Trying to talk my wife into making a big electronic purchase is like pulling teeth!
I have a truck and the new xbox to buy next year so I'm in no rush to start that crusade either.
I flew home and installed my mom's new computer because she was going to call Geek Squad. It actually was cheaper for me to fly from Charlotte -> Bahstin than to call Geek Squad out to plug in five or six cords/wires. I was amazed at what they charge for that stuff.

I think you are better off not doing it.
Look at the nerds on gaming side who have different settings for every different system with different light and all sorts of shit. I can't imagine that is a healthy way to live.
Just do what I do. Turn the brightness and sharpness to max!

I don't even have an HDTV so I can't talk shit about Story's TV from the 1970s.

I'd have kept Landry and Rogers personally.
Snakes all the time. Alligators often. Swamps are pretty badass but honestly when you go out there early morning while its still cool and just go to the middle of the lake, it can be absolutely beautiful. Although this is morel ike a sunset sort of picture.
Couldn't be me mane. That's why I couldn't live there bruh. Too many reptiles.

I acutally remember those TVs. Turning the channel actually required you to get out of your chair.
Just don't ask! You seem like a normal dude, you wife isn't going to leave you over a new TV. She'll get over it in a day and you'll have a new TV for years!
Our secondary has never been this bad though, we are on record to give up the most passing yards ever in the NFL. We were a middle of the road defense for awhile now but never this bad. We will have Tanard Jackson next year and Merriweatherat some point this year so at least we have upgrades in place. They might not be good but much better than Williams and Doughty or whoever has been playing SS.

"Where'd that PS3 come from?"

Up until 2009(?) I played vijia games on a TV my dad bought in 1984 so he could watch Miami Vice.
The remote is almost as big as an iPad.
Ha! My wife gives no fucks about how I spend money so I get to talk a big game.
I did hang the elk I shot last year on the wall when she was 7 months pregnant though so there was no way her and her mom/sister could get it down without my help! After 4 months or so she's now used to it, and doesn't complain. It was the perfect plan!
Remember his wife reads GAF. Stop trying to get him into trouble!
