Along with the commercials, another thing that gets extremely repetitive during the playoffs is Fox's little dancing robot guy. You see him going in or coming out of any commercial break, programmed to get funky.
The animated android's annoying, says Awful Announcing, and they wish upon him a horrible death at the hands of Tony Siragusa's girth. Conan O'Brien doesn't care for him, either, but would rather see a suicide.

With HD graphics; the in the box commentators, days should be numbered.
On the sideline comments make sense, but someone's grandma's sister's dad's life story from the box should go.
By the by, Robot man is just the beginning. Anyone able to see ESPN's games through the layers of graphics.
I am back to my 22" tv again.

He brings NOTHING to the game and I'm bored to death everytime he announces.
Its like he RECITES the script of every game in a monotonous tone...."pass incomplete to Jackson" (Yes I can see that), "Sproles off the right side for 5 yards" (yes I can see that), "tackled by Harris for a 3 yaerd loss" (yes I see that), "Flag on the play" (yes I see that). BORING HORRIBLE ANNOUNCING and Master of stating the obvious and he's Fox's #1 announcer?? He's AWFUL.

Joe Buck is bad. Is he even watching the same game?
Curt Menefee is worse than Buck, GOD he is terrible. I know he isn't watching the same game, he was wrong so often when he was a commentator that we just laughed at him.
I cannot tolerate Strahan. WAY too many head blows there. He is more interested in helping his old friends.
I can tolerate Aikman.
Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long and Terry Bradshaw would be enough for the crew, they don't need help.
