I was expecting you to mean those 3D graphical transitions shows have between scenes, which in my experiences have usually always been quick, clean and high quality.

I was absolutly not prepared at all for that.

For real though, sounds like a great excuse for NFL 3D designers to just have a bit of fun in between doing the more boring "serious" animations. As long as the stats are clear, anything else in the background goes and if its funny then all the better.
