You guys didn't even get in to the the best parts of Cleatus lore: 1) He fought the Terminatior during the Superbowl 2) You can buy physical action figures of Cleatus, in any team color, in both his original and 2.0 design. You can also buy Baseball Cleatus action figures. They also sold a "generic" Cleatus, but he was just the Steelers one with the logos scrubbed off.

How Anthony Carter's crappy agent not sending his contract over to Miami in time in 2003 led to Miami getting Odom, which led to Shaq, and eventually an NBA Championship

I used to imagine Cleatus was a continuation of the robots used on the NHL on Fox from '96-'99. There were cgi versions at the beginning of the telecast, and animated cartoonish types after a team scored a goal. I figured they just waited a few years to put a little distance from the failed NHL period.

On the topic of earlier football graphics, Fox also innovated the use of the always-there scoreboard with the time, score, and down & distance displayed in the early '90s when they got the broadcast rights. Before that, they would only show the clock, with down & distance coming at the beginning of the play and the score shown coming in and out of commercial breaks. First down lines? Forget about it.
