Re: fox or cbs games

i like the CBS production more in general...announcers, stat and score insets, etc. i hate that robot and i hate JB. i feel like the NFC is slower and more boring just based on my own personal prefence of AFC. there is not statistical fact that i base that on.

i also feel like i grew up watching the AFC games at 1 and then was kind of uninterested in the 4pm games that tended to be the cowboys or some other team i didn't like. So there is some stigma in my head to hate the fox/nfc production.

Doesn't matter to me if its FOX/CBS/NBC/ESPN they seem all right to me. If you don't like the announcers just put it on MUTE!!

It wasn't that long ago that CBS was the NFC channel, while NBC was the AFC channel.

CBS and FOX both have their pros and cons, as do ESPN and NBC... Part of it depends on the announce team that covers your game, too... At least with the Bills/Cowboys game being in Dallas, we won't have to deal with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

The one thing I can't stand on FOX is the "letterbox" look if it's not an HD game, but there are pros and cons with every network, IMO.

What service do you guys have that Fox is not in HD? I have never seen a game on Fox in the last few years that was not in HD

Re: fox or cbs games

I much prefer CBS because I'm not sure the local Fox affiliate carries Bills games, while I know the CBS affiliate does for away games and home games versus AFC opponents.

CBS is a better product, fox looks too amateur to me.

I absolutely hate the Mike Pereira segments on Fox. Watching him try to give reasoning to poor officiating makes me puke.

I think you mean excuses, he refuses to ever be critical its annoying and poor analysis.

As long as I don't have to listen to STEVE TASKER, it doesn't matter to me.

Re: fox or cbs games

I hate CBS. I hate this HD thing, where we show 50 yards of the field then zoom in real slow, never zoom in close enough to the play, until the guy runs back to the huddle then we get a close up. Sorry, but there is no reason to show midgets running around the field with 20 yards on either backside of them. The whole reason for high def is the see the game more clearly. Freakin hate it with an immense passion. Pisses me off to no end. The producers should be fired immediately. Its just lazy and stupid.

I was thinking the same thing. Why is anyone watching games that aren't HD at this point? If you're not watching HD, you're the afterthought at this point. Complaining about the SD picture is like buying a brand new car and complaining that it doesn't have a cassette tape player.
