Fox choked—big time—after Sunday's NFC Championship Game. Given approximately 30 minutes to dissect the Rams' 11-6 victory, not one of the seven Fox commentators mentioned the controversial instant replay call from the press box that overturned Bucs wideout Bert Emanuel's 11-yard reception with 47 seconds remaining. Sideline reporter D.J. Johnson, after interviewing Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy in the locker room without broaching the travesty—he asked four innocuous questions—noted that "as a former player, I feel your disappointment." Maybe Johnson will feel our disappointment that he and his jock-ular Fox fellows behaved like former players and not like journalists.
