NFL on Fox


hormone

Recommended Posts

Just a quick little complaint. Not only do I hate Fox's score bar that takes up a whole line across the top of the screen for every sport they show, but today their line is filled with Xmas colors, logos, snow trucks plowing snow, jingle bell sounds, and snow falling. Are we tuning in to watch football or are we tuning in to see how the graphics team at Fox can make my TV into a sweet screen saver that only a grandma would love?

THANKS YOU. I've never had to concentrate harder to pay attention to a game. Every couple minutes the stupid snow builds up and that damn plow comes by with the deafening jingle bells. And they blare the jingle bells EVERY time there's a first down made. And someone tell Fox nobody cares what Tony Siragusa has to say about anything.

I agree with Dirty. It would make more sense next weekend. It's not that awful, though, it is a lot and takes up a lot of room. The falling snow makes it look like it takes up more room and the screen is more squished.

Btw, what's up with them playin Jack Johnson into every single commercial break?

That's not true. The one break featured Weezer. It's a change of pace from either the Fox music or hip-hop.

So now the score across the top has gone gray, similar to the White Sox/Houston World Series style.

Why does Fox pick random times to tweak their score presentation, and not, say, week 1 of a season, or at the start of a playoffs? The score across the top, from start of 2004 season to today has gone from just logos for part of the NFL season for team identifiers, then team abbreviations in front/to the right of a team logo, then the LED team abbrevations look, all with the black score line, to today's look.

They must think people tune into the games to see what they'll do with the score line next ...

Well the beauty of the Fox scoreboard being on the top of the screen, if you don't like it, just tape over it :P

I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this?

Give Fox credit for being creative though! It's nice. And I personally think the snow plow is appropriate for the Pats game! :lol: The snow plow should only go by when there's a touchdown, other than that, it's a non issue. It's the same graphic they had for the World Series (the Fox line itself).

This is ridiculous what is with Fox and needless bells and whistles.

You mean the needless "jingle" bells and whistles....

That whole scoreboard is quite creative, but very unrealistic. I mean since when does a snowplow sound like bells. Make it sound like an 18-wheeler for crying out loud....

I saw, I came, I left.
