I don’t usually watch the pre-game shows—-but last night while eagerly awaiting the kickoff, I made an exception. What I saw for the duration of the 80 minutes disgusted me. FOX dedicated 95% of the pre-game show to hyping the 49ers—-their head coach, their QB, their offense, their defense, Nick Bosa, Richard Sherman—-as opposed to one little sit down interview with Kyler Murray.
To make matters worse, once the game started, the FOX audio of the crowd behind Aikman’s and Buck’s commentaries was miked up to a group of 49er fans who booed every call against the 49ers and who chanted DEFENSE-DEFENSE every time the Cardinals had the ball.
