Will Fox carry the NFL games next year?

Speaking of Gruden, pay attention to his comments for a game. He constantly uses things like this:

"they call him the hammer, becasue he nails the defense"

"thats why i call him the joker, he's good in any hand"

"they call him the astronaut, becasue he blasts through that open space"

Ha, yup. He did that last night when saying that Chris Johnson was like a blender, moving side to side and going fast!

Gruden-isms..

I'm not sure if it was Gruden or Jaws, but there were a bunch of penalty flags thrown so they were counting them as they came out and someone jokingly said "there's number five", and then one of them commented: "one more and we'll have an amusement park".

I had to chuckle at that one.

I'm not that old yet but when I was a kid we were excited as can be to get a colored set. We never complained this much about having to adjust the rabbit ears before the game to get rid of a little of the snowy effect or white lines.

Boy have we ever become whining spoiled brats!

^^^^^ 2nd that!

How much were you paying for that service Dave? wink

I feel that if I pay a premium for cable plus an HD box, plus HD channels not to mention the HD TV, then I should at least expect to get an uninterrupted game from FOX, especially when all the other networks are managing to do it fine.

I’m right with ya with the rabbit ears and fuzzy picture. Also had a party line for the phone too, that really sucked. But I still complain about cell coverage now.

Last time I checked Fox network was still the same price as it was back then, FREE! smirk

Does most of Minn have the same FOX affiliate? I live in Iowa and we never have any of the problems that you guys are talking about. Makes me wonder if it is just an issue with your local FOX station.

The audio not matching up with the video is usually an issue with the analog to digital conversion We have some of that here but it is getting better.

I live north of Detroit Lakes, mine comes out of Fargo or Grand Forks I believe. So I'm sure it's different than someone in southern Mn, and they still have the same problems. I think it's just on the Vikings games, some dude that works for FOX has a hatred for Favre since he is playing for a real team now.

Outside of the Vikings games, we don't have an issue.

Maybe it's a conspiracy by Zygi slipping the camera guys a couple hondo after the game if they interupt the service a couple times each quarter! grin
