Yet Another Reason I Hate the Fox Sports Robot

Not that I needed one. Why, oh why, does a robot need to do calisthenics to “warm up” every time Fox coverage comes back from commercial? And why does it do that point-point-point thing to taunt the audience? Annoying. But my new reason to hate it is because it robbed me of regional television coverage. If you watched yesterday’s Cowboys game closely, you’ll remember Troy Aikman talking about Wild About Harry’s. My wife and I happened to be at Harry’s on Saturday, as a Fox crew shot B-roll footage. That’s my wife there on the right enjoying peppermint frozen custard (and also the limelight). Me? Those are my wickedly awesome calves — but only my calves. The stupid robot’s stupid billboard blocks out the rest of me. Thanks a lot, Fox Sports Robot.
