    Anyone remember in the Olympics how Rudy would wear those wristbands on his...wrists? Well if I remember correctly Rudy hasn't worn them in the NBA. Anyone know why?

    That's definitely a random question. Unfortunately I don't know the answer.

    McMillan forbids such attire.

    Even wristbands? Really?

    I still think that's a stupid fucking rule Nate's got.

    And it was hard to tell... because CSNW is so sucky on Verizon... but I thought Rudy *did* have something on his wrist.

    CSNW is sucky on comcast too. It feels like I'm watching a game from the eighties.

    I don't know what is wrong with their regular boradcast channel, but the clarity sucks. If it wasn't the Blazers playing, I wouldn't watch it.

    Hmm maybe Rudy only wore them during the Olympics.

    In his regular league no wrist bands:

    With Blazers--no wrist bands..

    Maybe they're illegal in the NBA? Oh well...I was stoned when I thought of this random question :lol:

    What is the reason why you guys are saying the games look so bad on TV. Give me an example. What about the games on KGW?

    KGW looks much better than CSNNW...TNT and ESPN are pretty close and if a game is being shown on TNT and CSNNW it's amazing how poor the picture looks in comparison.

    I watched Comcast Sports Northwest last night and I felt like I was having a stroke. Not in that I was smelling almonds, but in that my vision was suddenly blurry.

    The game was on NBA TV for a few minutes before being blacked out, and the difference in how much crisper it was amazed me. It was almost like one was HD and one was not.

    It was frustrating knowing I'm going to have to watch that crap all season long.

    Were you watching the HD signal or SD? We broadcasted it in HD Friday night at home. Last night in PHX we were SD.

    It's the SD. (The HD isn't great, but the SD sucks).

    It's hard to explain . . . very grainy, not clear. . . old looking. I keep wanting to put my glasses on eventhough I don't wear galsses anymore.

    Maybe during the Olympics he was giving other teams a handicap by wearing wrist weights!

    There's no HD channel for CSNW in Seattle as far as I know.
