The Scorebug Snuggery: Super Bowl 59 Goes Big And Brutalist | Defector
Briefly

The article critiques the new scorebug introduced by Fox during the Big Game, noting that while it boasts a fresh design, it tends to be more prominent and attention-seeking than ideal. The author expresses a preference for smaller, unobtrusive scorebugs as TVs have grown in size. Despite acknowledging some creativity and legibility in the new design, the overall impression is that the Fox scorebug detracts from the viewing experience by drawing too much focus away from the action on the field.
While the sheer heft of the thing contradicts its minimalist ideals, there's still a legible no-frills philosophy at play here.
The more the scorebug calls to you, the less attention you're paying to the real stuff.
It’s a strange paradox...that as the average television gets larger, so too do the scorebugs.
I merely wish to know the score and time, with as little fuss or distraction as possible.
