hormone Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 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?

Chazberg Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosox Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Honestly, I could care less. I just ignore it. I'm watching the game, not the scoreboard usually, so it doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiodrama Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Btw, what's up with them playin Jack Johnson into every single commercial break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cozmocrowe Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 i agree, the scoreboard with snowplow takes up too much room. what's the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingssss Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VandyDelphia Mike Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 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 ...

Michigan Dave Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 They should put a comet tail on the football when the QB throws it. That would be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logodawg Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Well the beauty of the Fox scoreboard being on the top of the screen, if you don't like it, just tape over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Give Fox credit for being creative though! It's nice. And I personally think the snow plow is appropriate for the Pats game! 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).

DEAD! Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
