Annoying CBS graphic

[Eric15]

Does anyone else keep getting fooled by the bright yellow "Final" on the bottom right of the screen - thinking that it's a penalty flag graphic for the current game you're watching?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I kid you not, I was just thinking the same exact thing.

 

[NKR1978]

Yes! Insanely annoying.

 

[oldpinepoint]

Yes I ***king hate it

 

[JSOrange97]

It's driving me nuts. What were they thinking?

 

[samspann1]

what was more annoying was, at one point during the Fox game, the score update for every game had every player's name listed as "Griffin".

thing.

I saw the title of this thread and knew this was what it was about. It is extremely annoying, especially if your eyes suck like mine from a distance. I'm sure CBS is getting an earful about it an makes an adjustment. I was actually just about to start a thread about it.

 

[All4SU]

Red is for FINAL.

 

[orange79]

LOL. Thought exactly the same thing. Extremely annoying

 

[clayman32]

yup. i also saw the title of the thread and knew exactly what it was about. annoying as hell. i'm sure they'll get enough complaints that they change it soon

 

[Faegan]

Y E S... I was just thinking that I might actually call CBS tomorrow. LOL.

eh, that would be better, but it could possibly be confused with a challenge flag

I was fine until you mentioned it. Now, i've caught myself getting fooled three times. I keep trying to avoid that part of the screen but it's not easy.

We've been chatting about it since last week. It's horrible.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Also, what's up with the NFL women's apparel commercial? I mean, I'm not the target demo for that, but that commercial seems awful.

Just freaking Final is enough.

Another annoying TV thing...it doesn't deserve another thread so I thought I'd throw it in here.

Fox seems to think everyone has ditched their old TV's for wide screens. The score bug is always off the top left side of the screen, unless you're watching on a widescreen TV. No way you can see the score of the game...baseball too.

I do have 2 widescreens, but my wife controls those. A minor trade off for disappearing into my man cave to watch sports 7 days and nights a week.

Who possibly thought that yellow "FINAL" graphic was a good idea?

There is ZERO chance it's back next week. Twitter is exploding about it.

And not just regular fans, either. Deadspin, Chris Kluwe, several other notable people/outlets are commenting on how bad it is.

Bevo, I found you a new TV. Under $200, can't beat it. Nobody in the year 2013 should not have HD in their man-cave.

These refs are throwing a lot of flags on Denver. I know we have a lot of Giants fans here, but man, seems like a lot, and late.

Thanks eao1115. I almost pulled the trigger on this one about an hour and a half ago. Amazon wouldn't price match Panasonic.com. $90 difference. I'm a cheap mother.

I thought I'd put the new panny in the living room and bring the living room HDTV into my hideaway. You're right no self respecting sports guy should be watching on standard D. I'll do it eventually.

2 widescreens and she controls what?
