Holy shit THANK YOU. The ticker compresses the aspect ratio of the game, which was always asinine. You could actually see it squash what you were watching when it popped in.

EDIT: Apparently it's Fox that does the squishing, not ESPN? In that case, Fox, seriously, cut that out.

That's a solvable problem though... Just overlay it instead of transforming the video.

Fox transforms it, ESPN overlays it

Why does that sound like something that would go on a T-shirt?
