Ok, so I haven't gotten around to buying an HDTV and the current set up I have is pretty last decade.

I have a phillips magnavox 26" tv with no AV jacks to hook up my XBOX. Only thing it has is the Antenna coaxial out. The kind you screw in the cable, remember those? Yeah. Anyway. I have that to an old VCR and have the XBOX connected to that. Go to channel 2 turn VCR on and bam I play online.

Well my vcr just broke...I'm looking around for some type of adapter that will let me plug the XBOX A/V cables to the TV without the TV itself having any other connection other than the Antenna.

Is this possible? Is there some type of adapter that will let me use this?

Unfortunately I won't be able to get a TV this season, it's either that or getting my car fixed...

Those RF modulators are still available?

But, seriously, nut up and buy a decent set.... especially if you're gaming. (coming from someone who's never played a video game in his life).

My in-laws still have one of those 80 pound tube sets... and their kids- my wife and brother in law- are buying them an HDTV for Christmas. I asked them why since the parents are so cheap they won't pay the additional $5/month for the HD box....

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
