What’s the deal with: The Fox NFL Robot
Champion of the Sun is happy to present the first post written by our newest contributor, Robin.
That fucking bastard has been at the bottom of the screen for what seems like my entire adult life. I do not understand the appeal of this computer-generated sack of shit. What the hell is the deal with the Fox NFL Robot?
I’ve been watching football off and on for 20 years or so and it seems like this fucker has only been around the last five or six years. In that time I’ve watched games with dozens of people and I have yet to find anyone that isn’t annoyed by the useless CG robot dancing and hitting baseballs and getting attacked by whatever FOX is promoting that week.
I just don’t get it. What the fuck does this cheesy douche have to do with football, or anything else for that matter? Wikipedia informs me that his name is “Cleatus the Fox Sports Robot”. At least Fox can distance itself somewhat from that awful name – he was named by some idiot fan.
Oh jesus, you can even buy an action figure of this thing. I guess I could understand if Fox was sending them out for free as promotional material or something, but what kind of moron would actually spend money on one? If I caught my kid playing with one of these things, he’d be packed off to fat camp for daddy’s chubby little secret in no time.
Hold on while I stretch my robotic neck and point at the camera. Now Let me jump up and down now before I start hitting baseballs into the distance.
Woo hoo! Sports robot!
What is the fucking deal?!
hear hear.
I was just thinking about that guy last week.
Wow man! Get off it. Its just a CGI gag for fox. Is it really THAT annoying to get all huffy about it? BTW if you had any “clever sense” to you, you would realize the name Cleatus is a play on words. What kind of shoes do most sports require? If you can’t figure that out, then I understand why you wrote this blog in the first place.
what is the fucking deal? what is YOUR fucking deal! dont get your panties in a bunch over a damn CGI character, the hell’s wrong with you?
It totally sucks and should go away
wow. are you really complaining about it? wow. why does it matter. its a robot. it is just for fun. what, did it call you names? is it blocking your view? why don’t you try suing them. that would be funny.
