What the Fox?
Fox switched over from the Red Sox-Yankees, during the top of the 9th with two out while Papelbon was pitching, to some NASCAR race without informing its viewers. The game was on FX, unbeknownst to many. I've got a lot of problems with Fox (1. Joe Buck 2. Tim McCarver ["You're a real man Deion. A real man.] 3. Its obsession with showing fans during the game 4. The combination of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver 4. Planting stars of their shows in the stands of games as a way to promote said show while seeming to indicate that the presence of these people is completely coincidental and unintentional. 5. "Interviewing" the guy who played the TO-esque athlete in the Bud commercials a few years back, while the guy was in character!) but this is something else. Switching over is so 1970's. Does this even need to happen anymore when you actually have alternate networks? As a side note, do people even watch NASCAR on TV outside of the South? This isn't a crack, but a legit question. Isn't the NASCAR fad kind of dead. I mean, even rappers aren't wearing the jackets anymore.
