1958 NFL Championship being aired in high-def color, video link

[brant]

I saw a commercial on ESPN for the 1958 NFL championship game being aired in high-def color; it looked awesome! I found this link to a promo video on ESPN.com; it doesn't say when its being shown, but i'm almost certain the commercial I watched said dec. 13th.

Colorized HD broadcast.

[say-what]

I hate when they colorize old footage. I wish they would just show the restored B/W footage. Networks act like people won't watch if it's in B/W.....

The previews shown have this washed out colorized effect. Nasty IMO.

Ted Turner must have had his hand in on this somehow.. ;)
