FOX's HD coverage was dreadful. Skycam and a few other angles were never in HD.

FOX kept getting the clock wrong. Kind of an important detail, no?

@Dr. Michael Mancini: Exactly. Also, the votes are all placed by 12 year olds.

Ok, fine, I'll disagree. I never noticed it before, but Buck and Aikman are absolutely worthless.

I'm just glad Chris Myers didn't ruin the surprise of anyone's marriage proposal, like he did to Ian Johnson ("Let me get out of the way so you can propose").

And I agree with the remarks about Pam Oliver. She and Suzy Kolber are the only sideline reporters I consider worthwhile.

Oh, yes, bravo, Curt Menefee for saying more people vote for American Idol than the President. Except Idol is set up so that anyone can vote 400+ times, and that only happens in Chicago for presidential elections. Dumbass.

What Would Kornheiser Do? — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:07:45 EST

@Dead Wrestlers Society: At least it didn't turn into his radio show.

One whole hour of him bitching about how NBC gets to pick their games...

@kataroo_kangaroo: That's what I thought. Which made it really funny when Aikman went on and on about how great Belicheck is for catching something like that. Pay attention Troy!

@Dead Wrestlers Society: Buck said it a fair amount of time before Belicheck challenged it.

/insert shameless American Idol plug, brought to you by Fox.

To be fair, Aikman did call Gibril Wilson "Eugene" several times last night, in addition to repeatedly calling Justin Tuck "Jason," which he's been doing all season.

So the Giantss listened to a video set to "Time of Your Life," which begs the question. Are they a bunch of 16 year old girls?

Seacrest actually asked Roger Goodell to predict the score of the game. Again...The retarded midget asked the league commissioner to tell us who he thought would win TWO HOURS BEFORE KICKOFF and then expected an answer.

Fox did ok, as in the producers did a pretty good job. Joe Buck is classic Joe Buck (an idiot).
*Pats on own 10, flag and whistle*
Joe Buck: "It'll be an offsides call, but it could go either way."

... No, Joe. No it can't.

And there's the occasional winner from Troy Aikman who needs to ditch his NFC East-hate for the G-Men. Shining Troy Aikman moment:
*Plax drops a ball thrown to him in coverage, ball hits him in hands*
Troy Aikman: "If Eli Manning leads Plaxico there, he can catch that ball."

... No Troy, you're a former quarterback aren't you? If you hit one of your receivers in his hands, he should catch the ball. That's his mistake.

All in all, not really that bad. Just a few annoyances, but lord knows it was better than the old MNF lineup. Theismann can rot in hell, he was the worst ever.

I'm just glad that Fox got that game from start to finish (with a halftime show like that) in just under 4 hours...AWESOME!

Fox really screwed up announcing the final score, though. Can you imagine if a team with Eli Manning as its quarterback actually won the Super Bowl? Hilarious.

Just a question/comment: Everybody on the telecast kept going on and on about how Belicheck caught the Giants player not getting off the field in time, thus leading to a red flag/challenge.

Was it Joe Buck who first started blabbing about it, or did he only start once he saw Belicheck throw the challenge flag? I thought Buck said it first and then someone upstairs for the Pats was watching the telecast and then told Belicheck to challenge.

What Would Kornheiser Do? — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:53:14 EST

(Seacrest) Asking The Office's John Krasinski who he was rooting for -- he was wearing a Patriots hat at the time-- was priceless.

I concur.
