Threedee

This should be good. As if regular NFL games in HD were not enough, we will now have the chance to watch them...in 3D.

The bad news? For starters, the first game to be broadcast in 3D will be between the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers. The Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers are maybe the biggest disappointment in football this century. They were supposed to be Super Bowl champions. Instead, they can barely hang on to the ball.

The Oakland Raiders, thankfully, have not disappointed. Everyone predicted they would be terrible, so they went right out and proved everybody 100% right.

To make a Raiders vs. Chargers game the first 3D broadcast ever would be akin to "Titanic" being the first movie ever made with dialogue. Sure, it's a leap forward, but the new technology will be forever tainted by its association with the unspeakably terrible.

I look forward to further advances in technology, though. How 'bout something like this. You get strapped into a special chair at the beginning of the game, and every time the quarterback gets sacked it gives you an electric shock. It has potential!
