New Addition

Here she is ladies and gentleman:
Best Buy Page (I paid a lot less for this TV than what the website says.)

She was adopted on Saturday morning and will be delivered to my house on January 30th (Katherine and Nelson will be receiving the shipment because they're just awesome like that). And, just so you know, it was not because I had confidence we would win on Sunday night. In fact, I was sick as a dog from the NFC championship trophy presentation after the Bears game all the way through the 1st half. I almost gave up and went to bed after the interception in the 2nd quarter, but I just couldn't leave my boys like that. My decision to give up on my plan to not buy the Big Screen until they actually made the Super Bowl came around the week after the regular season loss to Tennessee at the beginning of December. It wasn't that I'd given up on them because I've always believed they could make it to the Super Bowl if the correct three units came to play in the same game. It was more that I decided that their ability to win football games was not dependent on my ability to overcome living in low-def (did you see that commercial?). Funny how a little thing like giving up your promise to the "football gods" makes a porous defense close up holes. Because when I started to look at different TV model choices, it was around the start of the playoffs. Regardless, I've already ordered the HD-DVR from Cox (even got an extra $100 off the TV for going through Best Buy to order it) and will be picking it up this weekend so it will there when she arrives a week from today!!!

My question to all y'all out in cyberspace...she needs a name. Any suggestions?

That's a nice TV Leann. I'm sure you're going to get hours of enjoyment on it. Maybe not on Feb 4..but plenty of hours after that.

I have some extra component cables that are better than what Cox gives you if you want them. I suggest getting an HDMI cable though. Pretty soon you will be an HD snop and watching on standard definition just feels dirty...

I still remember someone saying that they would buy their brother one when the Colts got to the Super Bowl. When is mine being delivered?

Your Brother

When I gave up my promise to the Football gods about the TV then I gave up your promise, too. :)

You had your chance to make the same promise...the Bucs went to the Super Bowl.

Maybe you should name her Carroll - in honor of your first dream involving your monster tv. =)
