FOX Sports spent part of Sunday dealing with a broadcast mess that had viewers across the Midwest doing a double take.
The network went into Week 2 of the 2026 season with its announced pecking order already set, with Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady on the top games and Joe Davis and Greg Olsen on the next tier. But during the early slate, the audio didn’t line up with the games people were actually watching.
Fans tuned in for Packers-Jets and heard Joe Davis calling Bears-Vikings instead of Kenny Albert’s actual broadcast. The same wrong audio then carried over into Falcons-Panthers, turning two separate games into one confusing mess.
Packers reporter Jason Wilde even asked publicly whether he was the only one hearing Vikings-Bears audio during the Jets game.
The reaction online was immediate and brutal, with fans piling on and calling it one of the sloppier broadcast errors they could remember.
“Oh good I’m not having a stroke!” one fan wrote.
“Yeah. It’s really irritating,” another said.
“And the amazing thing is… its not even being fixed,” a third fan pointed out.
“Somebody’s getting fired,” a fourth fan declared.
The problems didn’t stop there. FOX’s scorebug also vanished briefly during overtime of Packers-Jets, piling more frustration onto an already rough afternoon for the production crew.
Meanwhile, the actual action in Minnesota was unfolding with the wrong voices attached to it, including Caleb Williams’ third-down escape from a Vikings defender who was left grasping at air.
FOX got the audio sorted out before its primetime window, where Burkhardt and Brady were back on the Cowboys-Commanders game as planned. That broadcast had its own awkward moment, too, after Brady let an unfiltered comment slip on air during a big sequence.
FOX has not said what caused the earlier mix-up.

Bucks Fans Already Have An Awkward Jaime Jaquez Jr. Debate
Jaime Jaquez Jr.s arrival in Milwaukee has already produced an off-court wrinkle that Bucks fans are still trying to make sense of. The recently traded wing reportedly was asked to leave a Milwaukee restaurant after bringing his 90-pound dog, Percy, inside, and a viral video quickly turned the scene into a social media talking point. From the looks of it, the establishment was not dog-friendly, which only added to the confusion around a situation that had nothing to do with basketball.
The reaction online has been split, with some fans siding with the restaurant and others more amused than bothered by the whole episode. For Milwaukee, it is a reminder that a players first days in a new city can come with more attention than anyone expects, especially when a big dog and a crowded dining room are involved.

Bucks Just Opened A New Backcourt Chance Fans Should Watch
Mark Sears path through the Bucks system took another turn this week, as the G League rights to the rookie guard were moved from the Wisconsin Herd to the Rip City Remix in a five-team trade. Sears had spent his first pro season with Milwaukees affiliate, and he also got a brief look with the Bucks themselves before being waived, making him one of the more familiar developmental names in the organizations backcourt picture.
For the Herd, the deal brings Cameron Parker and a first-round pick in the G League draft, giving Wisconsin another chance to reshape its guard rotation and add future flexibility. For Milwaukee fans, the bigger takeaway is the backcourt opening the move creates around the edges of the system, especially with Sears no longer tied to the Bucks developmental pipeline in the same way.

Giannis Trade May Have Finally Fixed The Bucks Biggest Problem
The Bucks spent years paying for the kind of aggressive all-in moves that come with a title chase, and the cost showed up most clearly in the draft cupboard. Deals for players like Jrue Holiday and Damian Lillard left Milwaukee light on its own future first-rounders, which made it harder to keep one eye on the present and another on what comes next. In a franchise built around Giannis Antetokounmpo, that kind of asset drain was always going to matter eventually.
Now Milwaukee has three unprotected first-round picks from Miami in the Giannis trade, with selections coming in 2026, 2031 and 2033. The appeal is obvious: even as Antetokounmpo's career arc moves forward, those picks could carry real long-term value if the Heat's roster construction goes sideways. For a Bucks team that had been boxed in by its own win-now choices, the return may have finally given the front office a way to think beyond the immediate chase. [Read more 🡒]
