My complaint:

It is really bad form to spoil a game recording, when simultaneous games or events are being broadcast, especially on sister networks.
Have your sportscasters ever heard of night shifts, DVRs, and not enough spare time to pause and switch between two or more events?

By updating the results of the game that is not being watched, live, or recorded, there is no excitement.
As a consequence, the spoiled game is not watched or is fast-forwarded through.
For me, I make it a point to erase both games and avoid your advertisers!

Some of your broadcast teams do it right, even local sportscasters will issue a spoiler , before blurting out results.

It seems that your other teams must think we all watch two screens – shame on them and on your network

Suggested solution:

Instruct your broadcasters, teach them how to not divulge results or when they think they must, to handle it professionally.
The late afternoon broadcasters did it right, ing listeners to how critical the other game was, without telling us the score.
Fox should monitor their viewership in real-time to see the impact of spoilers.
