Do you think FOX should display continous scores on the bottom of the screen during MLB and NFL Telecasts sometime in the
near future?

No Fox Please don't become ESPN 2. I don't like the continuous scores constantly scrolling. Once in a while for updates at the bottom is ok but god please don't do this. I don't want scores and other data messing up a telecast of a game. I draw the line at the score of the game you are watching at the top. That is ok. But my Vote is DEFINATELY NO to constant scores running on FOX or CBS or any other Station and I wish that ESPN 2 would stop.

Not constant, unless the games are in HD then I wouldn't mind so much.

Most Baseball games on Fox Saturday baseball game of the week there are only 1 or 2 other games going on at that time of the day anyway and usually another part of the country is seeing the other game and Jeanie Zelasko and Kevin Kennedy bring in game updates anyway. Continuous Scores For Baseball Games on Fox are really NOT Needed. Fox Sports Net Games at night though is a totally different story when more games are usually going on But I still am against Continuous scores running at the bottom of the screen. Football on Fox has most of the games on at 1 p.m. eastern time and there are alot of scores to be updated but Fox already shows scores of other games periodically anyway. A Continuous bottom line at the bottom of the screen during a game wouldn't go over to well i know i don't like ESPN 2's Coverage of games because of the continuous scores. After all thats why we all subscribe to the sports packages to flip to another game of interest. If you want to find out the score of another game just flip to it and find out what the score is. :mad:
Of Course Blackouts are another issue and if a game is blacked out in your area that you cannot see then you might want a continuous bottom line score update. I know I hate when The Cubs are playing in Cincinnati I am in Northern, Mississippi and am classified as being in the Reds Market. If The game is on Fox Sports Net Chicago and not on Fox Sports Net Ohio (Cincinnati) Then I am screwed from even seeing the game and I cannot see any Cincinnati Locals if the Reds are even on a Local channel in the Cincinnati area. All I know if the game is on Fox Sports Ohio. I'll get to see the game. If not I'm screwed :mad:
