NBC Recycles NFL-Cast Graphics

I urge those of you watching tonight's game on NBC, especially with TiVo/DVR to take a close look - a real close look - at the graphics, particularly one set going into a commercial break.

I discovered this last week. As numbered graphics (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 40, etc.) come on the screen, there are words scrolling below the numbered graphics as a replay scene starts.

The words? "NFL Kickoff Special".

They've been using the same frigging graphics since the preseason!
 
For those that missed it, didn't want to waste time trying to find it, or simply wanting to see a football game on NBC tonight, I've went back and made screenprints of the above graphics snafu. Below are links to these screengrabs. These were from last week's Raiders/Broncos game, going into a commercial. Notice Raiders head coach Art Shell's face inconspicuously peeking out through the graphics, proving this was last week, and not a "kickoff special".

I can see now why NBC has to make job cuts.

That's not as bad as the fact that the open uses some flyby graphics from one of CBS' prior stadium graphic opens from the peeps at REZN8.
