A BluRay player (BDP) is about the only source that will give you 1080p, without scaling. Most BDPs will upscale a standard DVD so you wont have to replace your collection. A PS3 used to be the most inexpensive BDP, but that has changed now. hepcat is right though, no BDP will play games as well..Try a pawn shop to save you a few bucks....

Dont spend more than a few bucks on an HDMI, monoprice.com has them very reasonable. Most new BDPs will stream Neflix, Blockbuster, Pandora, etc already, just need a network connection in the back...

If you spent the money on a 1080p TV you should go ahead and get something to take advantage of that. Blu-Ray is really the only thing that will allow you to utilize your TV.

I still think the PlayStation 3 is the best on the market and does a poo load more than any other player. Downloadable content, games, wireless or wired network connection, etc.

You can get a decent Blu-Ray player for about 1/3 of the cost of a PS3 though, last time I looked.

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
