Anything that moves away from the CBSness is a good thing. Their broadcasts have been second rate mediocrities since they’ve had the rights:

- Completely bland theme music.

- Half-witted former QB analysts (other than Romo).

- The worst studio show.

The other networks (particularly NBC) do a way better job.

> Anything that moves away from the CBSness is a good thing

The article's entire point is that the graphics were redesigned for more CBS-ness.

The article says the old way was the cbs way (blue colors, stay out of the way)

This is especially disappointing considering CBS owns what seems to be one of the more popular sports statistic suites: https://www.statcrew.com/

Why would the quality of the announcers or theme music have any influence on an XML feed of straight sports stats (specifically designed to avoid editorializing)?

* Their studio show is by far the best

* Nantz and Romo are by far the best broadcast crew

* NBC is old hat at this point. Nobody wants to listen to Collinsworth anymore

I’d still take Collinsworth over aikman and buck, and his commentary is still better than any of the sports radio Monday morning armchair quarterbacks.

Cris Collinsworth, yes it’s spelled Cris, makes me want to rend my ears from my skull. Collinsworth and Al Michaels is like some kind of perfectly seasoned stew of stupidity worthy of Idiocracy. Listening to the two of them I can’t help but constantly think of the NFL as bread and circuses meant to placate a mentally degraded populace.
