These are great and I hate to be nit-picky, but MLB games on NBC in 1994 and 1995 used the same Baseball Network graphics seen on ABC.

Thanks for the correction.

NBA on TNT, 1991-1993

Yeah, that Giants/Dodgers graphics one was certainly the Steve Finley walk-off grand slam in the penultimate game of the 2004 season.

What do you mean by 1st half only, by the way? I know Fox is a bit eccentric with changing up their graphics (there's usually an update every two seasons or so, and especially around 2003-2005 they altered their graphics frequently; check out old NFL Primetime clips if you don't remember), but did they change their graphics mid-game? Jeez. I don't remember that.

Oh, I should have clarified: I only meant the first half of the game I took the shots from ('98 NFC Title game)

Sorry for the confusion.

MLB on NBC, 1996

MLB on FOX 2001-2004 (as seen on a 2004 telecast)

This was an all time soul-crushing loss

Oh man... skip ahead to 4:06 to see one of the most bizarre occurrences I can recall in all the years I've been watching football. Long story short, the Packers and Panthers playoff tiebreaker came down to net point differential, which led to them watching the out of town scoreboards and playing each other by proxy. That caused some very usual scenes such as both teams running two minute drills in the 4th quarter despite having dominated their actual, in-stadium opponents (Cardinals and Saints, respectively) all afternoon.

Then, to top it all off, the Packers (who won the "proxy game") ended up getting leap-frogged by someone else for the last playoff spot, making the entire spectacle for naught.

Tiebreakers (according to Wikipedia)

• ''Dallas was the second NFC Wild Card based on better record against common opponents (3–2 to Lions' 3–3) and better conference record than Carolina (7–5 to Panthers' 6–6).''
  
• ''Detroit was the third NFC Wild Card based on better conference record than Green Bay (7–5 to Packers' 6–6) and better conference record than Carolina (7–5 to Panthers' 6–6).''
  

Two ESPN centric baseball packages. IMO, the post 2003 set is kind of really drab and gaudy looking. Way too much emphasis on looking futuristic.

1999-2003

2004-2006

The 1999 graphics package was actually used during the first month or two of the 2004 season before the 2004-2006 package debuted.

This is what I figured, wasn't exactly sure of the dates though

The original scorebug for this package was horrible. Tiny and unreadable.

Here it is being used for Game 1 of the VAN/DET and NYI/TOR series:

It was replaced after the first night.
