After watching the Fox Sports Halftime and Pregame

shows last night...holy crap...this tv analyst/opinion line of work is ripe for the picking.

That might have been the worst thing I have ever seen.

It was a complete disaster, the entire broadcast was

On the bright side of things you need commentators and productions like that to make you look even better

Sincerely just as bad as public access. Perhaps worse. Just awful.

Was Fox doing the Hawaii/USC game? The commentators on that game were the worst I can remember.

Then you had that clown Knox as the sideline reporter...wy wife was watching casually and during one of his segments she looked up and said "What in the hell is wrong with that guy?"

AMEN Brother!!!

I was thinking the same thing as I sat there watching it. I finally turned the channel. As bad as I've seen in a LONG time.

While watching the Minnesota/MTSU game I am really glad the BTN was started. Having to listen to ESPNU's F crew would have been horrible.

That was ESPN with Mark Jones and Bob Davies. While not the best these 2 are tolerable and especially compared to what Fox had last night for the ISU game and Pam Ward or whoever the woman announcer is for ESPN.

It was awful indeed. Luckily, I found the "swirling hamburger" distracted me enough that I didn't have to focus too much on their talking.

In all sincerity, we put on better productions than that back in the early 1990's with tube cameras and cardboard backdrops with student directions in college college access. No joke.

It makes sense though. ISU is never on tv so it is fitting that the one time their 1st game gets broadcast, the prouction is equal to a junior high AV class

I know...and I stand by my comparison of Fox Sports to a 7th grade AV class production!
