DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 CBS was my favorite before and are now even more so. Their graphics are colorful yet small and understated, and don't get in the way like Fox, NBC and ESPN. Kudos. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskyfan82 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 CBS looks GREAT. They've really improved. Now if only they could get rid of Posthumous theme and bring in a remix of the classic CBS NFL theme.David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMadSport Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Due to errands, I personally didn't get a chance to check out the CBS graphics until I walked past a Radio Shack and checked out the Denver/St Louis game on the HDTV display. All I could say was WOW! The CBS package had an amazing fluid movement to the animation, while the font and blue tones made the information on the graphics stand out better than the FOX graphics. It's good that CBS no longer has the back of the helmets to represent the teams on the graphics (going with the actual logos instead).I honestly have to rate the CBS graphics ahead of NBC and FOX (and well ahead of the bland and two-dimensional ESPN graphics). The CBS set does seem a bit distracting with the large monitors, but my chief complaint was the positioning of the vertical LED ticker behind Boomer Esiason (the text moved left to right, not right to left). The NBC "Football Night" set seemed warm and inviting, especially the secondary "living room" area. Nice touch with the incorporation of Prometheus and the Lower Plaza at 30 Rock behind the desk. The NBC set as a whole gives the impression that, just like the viewer, the NBC crew is about to settle in for a night of football. (Just think how warmer and more inviting the set will be when snow starts falling in NYC this winter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheo25 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 FOX will do the pregame from Joe Buck's game site every week because of the unfortunate decision to have him as the host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 FOX will do the pregame from Joe Buck's game site every week because of the unfortunate decision to have him as the host. I can't get over this decision to name Buck the new host. He sucks. He's an ok pbp guy, but as a host, he's dry and and about as fun as trying to eat sawdust. He tried to be James Brown, but it came off as forced, and didn't suit his usually serious nature. I really hope they take this pregame show out in the backyard and put it down, because it's rabid.

rock55choc Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The only thing i think CBS should do differently is put the score of the game on the RIGHT side of the teams' name in the box in the corner of the TV instead of on the left side. That kinda bothered me. Otherwise - I like - very sharp looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikmurphy Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I think CBS in the best of all they are on the forefront of the HD tv era in graphics. they rule! I think NBC is a cheap ABC MNF rip-off. If it wern't for the peacock i would think its on ABC. Fox had the best until they did away with the scoreboard like interface. Fox is to industrial and not as flashy and inovative as they used to be. Now ESPN has the right idea they just need to tweak it a little bit. BUT ESPN SHOULD DUMP KORNHIESER!

NDwas Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I was thoroughly bored by the entire broadcast (outside of Caliendo's JB slam). The CBS pregame wasn't bad, I enjoy the new set, but I don't like the crew outside of JB. I thought the Jimmy Johnson airport screening was hilarious...lolI love the new CBS graphics, but JB doesn't seem to fit yet. Neither does Joe. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday.

jkrdevil Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I think NBC is a cheap ABC MNF rip-off. If it wern't for the peacock i would think its on ABC. You have to remember that practically everyone who worked on Monday Night Football last year moved over to NBC and Sunday night football. Thus why they are similar the same people are producing it.
