OT Fox Sports Poll
With Fox having the BCS, World Series, and the SuperBowl this year I was wondering which coverage was or will be worst. Thank god Fox doesn't cover March Madness. Some thoughts about each:
The BCS featured more shots of the band than of the games. Added bonus Fox decided to ditch instant replay in favor of shots of the DLP skycam.
The World Series featured the smug Joe Buck, and the incoherent Tim McCarver. Added bonus crowd shots of the cast of every Fox series.
The SuperBowl will bring us Joe Buck again, along with the concussed ramblings of Troy Aikman. Added bonus Fox is planning on covering the elections as part of the pre-game ceremonies.

Great point, LeoBloom
I'm not a big NBA fan, but that is a good example. Studio, with Ernie, Sir Charles, and Kenny the Jet is SO GOOD, it's worth watching it and not the game! Then TBS gets the playoff games, until the finals, when they are switched to an inferior network. Sad.
For you youngsters, you may not remember a time when "March Madness" was just getting started. ESPN began the phenomenon by televising the first two days (Round 1), and the product was INFINITELY superior to what CBS has done to it since it took over everything. Key difference was ESPN had the freedom to switch in and out of games at will, and the games were scheduled so that 4 weren't all ending at the same time. Alas, those days are gone forever. Some of the allure, to me, was feeling like you were in on a great little secret that the rest of the country hadn't discovered yet. As you might guess, once everybody else discovered it, it was tainted forevermore. Sigh.
