Every year, it's common for the network broadcasting the Super Bowl to debut a new scorebug for the big game.
This year, FOX is showing Super Bowl 59, and sure enough, they unveiled a new scorebug for the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. The graphic actually leaked during the week before the game, where it didn't exactly draw rave reviews from fans on social media.
Tonight, when viewers at home got their first look at the scorebug in real time, the complaints started up again.
Besides people saying that the graphic looked ugly, many thought it was just too big in general.

"Insane they would drop this scorebug on us in the Super Bowl. Nasty work," said Barstool Big Cat.
"Tonight’s One Big Thing The scorebug," added ESPN's Scott Van Pelt.
"Who botched the scorebug? These KC PHI letters are way too big! Not the day to roll this out," a third person added.
"This scorebug is so minimalistic while also being the biggest thing on my screen, get it off please," a fourth person said.
"This is the worst scorebug design I've seen in a long time holy downgrade," added a fifth commenter.
If we're being honest, the scorebug looks abysmal. So much so, we're hoping against hope that FOX scraps, or at least tweaks, it before Week 1 of the 2025 season.
The only good news for FOX is that it took one drive of the game for the referee conspiracies to pop up on social media after Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was called for a questionable offensive pass interference.
That story line isn't going anywhere tonight, particularly if the Chiefs wind up winning the game and earning their third-straight Super Bowl title.
Each team has had one possession and has punted midway through the first quarter at Caesars Superdome.

Packers Sign 87-Tackle Linebacker, Report Says
The Green Bay Packers are adding veteran linebacker depth, signing Nick Niemann, according to a report from Packers on SI’s Bill Huber. Niemann, 28, arrives in Green Bay after spending his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, where he posted 87 total tackles with one interception and one tackle for loss. Replacing Isaiah Simmons and Kristian Welch, whom the Packers released while trimming the roster to the initial 53 players, Niemann has the opportunity to contribute on special teams as well as competing for snaps on coordinator Jeff Hafley’s defense. Niemann led the Chargers in special teams tackles each of the past three seasons.
Patriots cut first-round bust, retain surprising players to set 53-man roster
Mike Vrabel‘s first roster as New England Patriots head coach is taking shape. The Pats announced the following moves as they set their initial 53-man roster: Released: S Marcus Epps Waived: CB Miles Battle G Mehki Butler G Jack Conley CB Brandon Crossley TE C.J. Dippre RB JaMycal Hasty OT Demontrey Jacobs RB Terrell Jennings WR John Jiles DE Truman Jones C Alec Lindstrom DB Kobee Minor DT David Olajiga LB Cam Riley DT Jahvaree Ritzie K John Parker Romo TE Gee Scott G Cole Strange LB Bradyn Swinson WR Jeremiah Webb Placed on IR (designated for return): LB Jahlani Tavai Placed on IR: WR Ja’Lynn Polk The Patriots moved on from a pair of notable offensive linemen. Cole Strange was a reach when Bill Belichick selected him in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and the Chattanooga product struggled through his brief NFL career. The lineman was a full-time starter as a rookie, but injuries and inconsistent play limited him to 10 starts in 2023 and two starts in 2024. The organization also moved on from Demontrey Jacobs, who started 13 games for the Patriots last season. Elsewhere on the OL, it sounds like David Olajiga will land back on New England’s practice squad if he clears waivers, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald. Perhaps the most surprising moves were the cuts the Patriots didn’t make. Kyle Dugger will stick around despite days of trade speculation. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Patriots did receive multiple trade offers for the safety, but his $9.75M salary (and how much the Patriots would be forced to take on) was a hurdle during negotiations. Meanwhile, the Patriots are temporarily holding on to eight wide receivers, with players like Kendrick Bourne and Javon Baker making the squad.
Alabama receives bad news before Week 1 game against Florida State
No. 8 Alabama got some bad news on the injury front ahead of its season opener on Saturday against Florida State. Per On3's Brett McMurphy, star defensive lineman Tim Keenan III will miss multiple games due to an ankle injury that requires surgery. “Alabama DT Tim Keenan III, who suffered an ankle injury Tuesday, is expected to undergo ‘tightrope’ surgery Wednesday, source told On3,” McMurphy said. “The Tide’s best defensive lineman and a captain, Keenan will be out multiple games, but expected to return this season, source said. Keenan has been with the program since 2022, and the nose tackle had his best season in 2024 when he recorded 40 tackles, eight tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks. The senior from Birmingham, Alabama, has played in 29 games with 79 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in his college career. The injury is bad news for the Crimson Tide defense before they play dual-threat quarterback Tommy Castellanos, who transferred from Boston College to FSU in December. Alabama needs a strong pass rush to throw the senior off his game, and needs to keep him from running out of the pocket. Redshirt freshman Jeremiah Beaman is the No. 2 nose tackle on Alabama's depth chart. The six-foot-four, 314-pound athlete from Birmingham, Alabama, recorded two total tackles in 2024. Saturday's game will be pivotal for Beaman to show improvement this year with Keenan out. The Crimson Tide enter its matchup with Florida State with high expectations of being a College Football Playoff contender in head coach Kalen DeBoer's second season in Tuscaloosa.
Dolphins' practice squad for 2025 season boasts plenty of familiar faces from this summer and years past alike
The Miami Dolphins' 53-man roster has had some last minute shuffling today. There's a new addition courtesy of Miami's successful waiver claim for JuJu Brents from Indianapolis. There's reportedly a return in line for offensive tackle Kendall Lamm, too. The work continues — but Miami has also begun to undertake the process of stocking up players for their 2025 practice squad. The practice squad additions thus far sport a number of familiar faces, both from 2025 training camp Miami's preseason campaign and from years past alike. Practice squad players are eligible to be elevated onto the game day roster three times during a stint on the unit — and the Dolphins have already set a plan in place with their short-term replacement to Jason Sanders to do exactly that. General manager Chris Grier stated on Wednesday that the team planned to elevate kicker Riley Patterson for the first three games and evaluate his performance and Jason Sanders' rehabilitation from there. That's just one of the names Miami has locked into place, however. The practice squad can accommodate a grand total of 16 names. Here are the reported additions thus far to the Dolphins' 2025 practice squad.
