NFL on FOX: Suxxorific

Submitted by christopher on Mon, 09/13/2004

The NFL on Fox is the worst thing to happen to the NFL since the "In the Grasp" rule went into effect. I don't know if they are incompetent for a reason (such as underfunding), or by accident, but it is something awful. There are minor annoyances, such as the 18 million sound effects they have for everything. Somewhat more important, but not major annoyances, like poor announcers and technical gliches. Then there is their near total inability to reply interesting plays. If anything interesting happens, like a play that might be challenged, they often don't bother to replay it. Hey Fox, we might want to see it so we can talk about it!!

Today, their feed from Philly was messed up so the football game was many decibels lower than the commercials. Interestingly, when they had their "game break" cutaways to other stations, the audio was at the same level as commercials are. Today's theme seemed to be, don't put down that remote! You need to adjust the volume again!

Fair and balanced Mitchell, fair and balanced.Anyway, just thought I would bring to your attention that the automatic weapons ban ends today. This means uzi's, AK-47's and Iraqi rifles are back on the market! I've already put in my order. The actual language of the original ban is pretty interesting. For example, if I had taken my deer rifle and attached a bayonet and protruding pistol grip, it would then be an illegal assault weapon. Aside from that, I am happy to see that the gub'ment is staying out of my life again. In celebration, I'm going outside to fire rounds from my kalashnikov into the air!

[1] I dunno. I too advocate less government - but as Mr. Mike Moore pointed out in Bowling for Columbine, there is a point at which the government has to step into our lives and say you can't have certain weapons. Nukes for instance.As an anarchist, I look forward to the day when there is no need for people to rely on the government to prevent themselves and their neighbors from nuking each other. In the meantime I am trying to help people empower themselves to do things they think only the government can do.
