I am guessing those rumors about Sanders interviewing terribly must have some truth to them. Sure seems that way.

Saints already took a QB didn’t they? Shough iirc. same. Unless Las Vegas drafts him, I don’t see any other team left in R2 that needs a QB. I could see him falling to the Steelers pick toward the end of the 3rd and I don’t even know if they’re interested.

Joe Buscaglia likes it and says he’s an ideal fit. I value his opinion pretty highly.

Well… here’s to hoping Miami does something stupid! 😂

Glad the giants did the smart thing and didn’t reach for a Qb! I didn’t want Carter in New England 😂

They were definitely amazing TV’s but I think top tier new OLED and QD-OLED TVs look better. i actually have an old Panasonic plasma from that era and my newer Sony OLED is better in every way.

Oops, I meant millions. lol A typical 4k OLED TV is roughly 8.3 million pixels as 4k resolution is 3840x2160 (= 8.2 something million pixels) and each pixel = 1 OLED diode, but each diode is 3 sub pixels in one (red, blue green), so more like 24 million. And yes, very impressive to look at!

Do you stream on the Sony using the built in smart TV apps? If so, I’d recommend picking up an external streaming device like a fire stick 4k. I never use the built in apps on any of my TVs for streaming. I want the TV just focused on picture processing (etc). You will get a smoother experience using an external streaming device. also, some people are more sensitive to stutter on OLED TVs (usually when watching sports like hockey). I don’t notice it on my Sony OLED, but I know people who prefer LED TVs to OLED for that reason - stutter during fast moving sports. OLED is superior in almost every way except overall motion handling. also, yes, LG makes the OLED panels for every OLED Tv on the market except Samsung. Samsung didn’t have any OLED TVs until recently, when they came out with the QD-OLED panels. They are brighter than traditional OLED panels, but I don’t know how their longevity and burn-in protection compares to standard OLED panels. Longevity and burn-in protection have come a long ways in traditional OLED. I’m always a bit leery of brand new tech until it’s been out for a # of years. I know Samsung had some major bugs with their new QD-OLED a few years ago when it first came out. I’m guessing it’s improved since then. Sony does use Samsung’s QD-OLED panels in 1 or 2 of their TV models. But even though Sony uses LG and Samsung OLED panels, their picture quality is still superior because of their processing and upscaling being by far the best in the industry.

No, that’s a Q series. The Q series is good. I was talking about the TVs lower than the Q series, like the D series (usually labelled “crystal UHD”). personally, I’d go with this one over the Q7, but it’s a couple hundred more. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-75-class-bravia-xr-x90l-led-4k-uhd-smart-google-tv-2023/6544735.p?skuId=6544735 that site I linked is great for comparing TV models. They have a comparison tool that breaks down everything in great detail. https://www.rtings.com/tv/tools/compare/lg-b4-oled-vs-lg-c4-oled/49540/49541

First question would be what your budget is. OLED and QLED are 2 different types of TVs and technologies. A QLED TV is just a regular LED backlit TV with a color filter on the screen (“quantum dot” light filter). Sony also has this technology. It’s called Triluminous. An OLED Tv is much different. OLED = organic light emitting diodes. There are literally BILLIONS of small light emitting diodes that can each be turned off individually from each other, which creates almost infinite contrast and true blacks, with no blooming. Where as with LED backlit TVs, there are maybe a few hundred LED’s (on the high end LED TVs) or maybe a few dozen on lower end LED TVs. Some are what’s called “direct lit”, where they have LED’s across the whole screen. Sometimes they can be turned on+off individually and other times they are turned on/off in zones. It depends on the TV. Some low end LED TVs are only edge lit (only have LED lights along the edges of the TV). There is also a new lighting technology out called “mini LED”. It uses more LED backlights than a standard LED but still not as many as an OLED. But the mini LED get significantly brighter than an OLED. oh, and then there is QD-OLED, another new technology. It uses the quantum dot light filter with a new, brighter OLED panel. all have their benefits and drawbacks. OLED is still my favorite. Almost any new Tv is going to be 4k capable these days. I do think it’s worth owning a 4k TV. There is plenty of 4k programming and movies these days. Most of my streaming services broadcast in 4k. Amazon even broadcasts some of the Thursday night football games in 4k. As far as brands of Tv - Sony is my favorite brand and has been for decades now. They are far and away the best when it comes to picture processing. Their processors have been #1 for a very long time. depending on your budget, I’d recommend at least a Sony 900 series LED. Or if you can swing it, one of their OLED TVs. (I own both their top end LED and OLED TVs and love them both, but the OLED wins hands down). LG is also an excellent brand for OLED TVs (though I’d avoid their LED TVs). If you are looking for a cheaper TV, Hisense is a decent choice. Their processing isn’t going to be on the level of Sony, but they have excellent picture quality for a cheaper TV. I would strongly suggest avoiding the lower end Samsung TVs. They are crap IMO. this is a great site for reviewing TVs: https://www.rtings.com/tv

I didn’t want to start a new thread for this so I figured I’d just share it here. https://www.on3.com/college/colorado-buffaloes/news/colorado-unveils-travis-hunter-shedeur-sanders-retired-numbers-at-folsom-field/ what a joke.

I feel like this is under-selling Gretzky a bit. He was the true definition of a phenom. When he scored 212 points in 81/82, the next closest guy was Mike Bossy. 1981/82: 1.W. Gretzky*212 2.M.

Just crazy. lol Ovechkin has been super consistent year in and year out scoring goals. Most consistent goal scorer in NHL history now. https://www.hockey-reference.com/leaders/points_top_10.html

Ovechkin tied Wayne Gretzky’s all time goal record last night (with #894). https://www.reddit.com/r/nhl/s/uroUTkbGLG One more goal and he owns the record! The capitals play next on Sunday at 12:30pm EST. The game is on TNT.

(PDO is a measure of puck luck) terrible Corsi for. Terrible xGF. Crazy high shooting percentage and PDO. yep. Fools gold.
