I can, safely, say I won't ever have that set up!

I didnt say any of us would have it exactly, im just saying emulate it, IE Bigger TV in the center and smaller on the sides instead of 4 TVs maybe you have 2 36" on each side with a 75" in the center

I'm trying to do something similar but on a much smaller scale. Right now I have a 47" on a tv stand and there is plenty of wall space above it. I'm thinking of swapping out the 47" TV for something bigger - maybe 60"? Then I'd want two TV's mounted on the wall side by side, not sure which size yet. I have to figure out how to get cable to all three though, inexpensively.

A video switch is all I can see to switch between. Problem is a 4 source HD switch is about 1k

If my crappy team is on and my lady's team (PIT) isn't, then my game goes full screen.

Davone Bess was arrested after another weird showdown with police. Back in 2013 Bess was arrested at an airport after strange behavior that ended with him trying to fight a police officer. He's been involuntarily committed for mental issues in the past. Doesn't look good for this guy.

Events began to unfold around midnight, when Bess fled from police at a traffic stop near San Tan Village Parkway and Williams Field Road, according to Sgt. Jesse Sanger, Gilbert police spokesman.

Sanger said officers located Bess driving in his neighborhood, and he barricaded himself in his car.

Eventually, Bess ran from his car to his home, where he continued to barricade himself until a warrant was granted for entry, police said.

As much as I like RedZone If we have multiple games down to the wire I want them on my Tvs at 1x and unfortunately the Mix channel does not let you choose what you want

Do any of you remember when Emmitt Smith had a commercial where he was trying to get the NFL into the Summer Olympics? This was in the 90's when the Cowboys were on their Super Bowl runs. For some reason that popped in my mind this morning.

It was one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard considering almost nobody plays American football in any other country. If it were an Olympic sport they'd have trouble getting more than a handful of countries to field a team and the scores would probably be like 91-3 USA over the second "best" team.

You could probably field a squad of the top NCAA players (or a top-tier team like Alabama or Ohio St.) and they'd beat any team any other country could field in blowouts.

Football in the Olympics was also a dumb idea because who would play in it? The Olympics takes place when the NFL and college are in training camp. How would coaches feel if their best players left camp for weeks? There's also the injury and fatigue factor. I can't imagine most NFL players would be interested in playing in 4-5 games right before the season starts. If you had amateurs it's still a case where most players wouldn't want to play. If you're Deshaun Watson, Leonard Fournette, or Myles Garrett and haven't made money yet are you going to want to play more games and risk getting injured?

[dcowboy7]

What about seniors that didnt get drafted or free agent signed.
Probably not gonna make nfl anyways then so whats to lose - maybe they could make a name for themselves & get noticed.

To add to this, Canada is the only foreign country that even has 11 NFL players(no QBs though). No other country even comes close.

Yes I remember that commercial. He did one with Shaq. I couldn't find the commercial but here is a link to behind the scenes footage of them filming it.

Johnny Manziel's lawyer accidentally sent information to an AP reporter that paints Johnny in a bad light.

http://deadspin.com/johnny-manziels-...e-t-1782586234

Johnny Manziel was in Dallas Thursday for his initial hearing regarding charges from his alleged assault of ex-girlfriend Colleen Crowley in January. In an unrelated incident, Manziel told police that he was the victim of a hit-and-run on Monday. When an Associated Press reporter contacted Manziel’s defense attorney Robert Hinton about Monday’s crash, Hinton sent a revealing message that included Manziel’s probability of passing a piss test right now.

The AP reports that Hinton’s text implied that he’d ask for a plea deal for Manziel in the assault case, and mentioned a smoke shop receipt from Tuesday. Hinton denied that the receipt was Manziel’s and threatened legal action against the AP.

Of course, you expect a self-entitled idiot like Manziel to pick a lawyer that has half a brain?
