Broncos fans start petition to ban CBS' Phil Simms from Broncos broadcasts
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/broncos...163030222.html
It's gotten that bad. Denver Broncos fans have dealt with the perceived bias of CBS analyst Phil Simms for years. I've always tolerated it - fans often claim an analyst or ref is biased, and being an objective color commentator is difficult when you're rooting for close games. But now that Denver has Peyton Manning, and the Broncos are ratings juggernauts, CBS has decided to make them their afternoon game featuring their #1 crew of Jim Nantz and Simms virtually every week. It's all Simms, all the time. And it's torture for Broncos fans. It appears Simms is truly unable to call a fair, unbiased game when the Broncos play. Virtually every penalty or near-penalty or close call under review in Sunday's Chiefs victory provided Simms a soapbox to argue in Kansas City's favor. Even when the refs reviewed a call in Denver's favor, Simms still disagreed. It came off whiny and, yes, biased. The words, "I don't mean to root against Denver, but..." even came out of his mouth. When you have to justify your next sentence with that type of disclaimer... you're rooting against Denver. "The People of Denver" have spoken and started a petition on Change.org to have Simms banned from Broncos games. It received nearly 100 signatures in its first five minutes. As of Monday morning, the petition has over 3,000 signatures. Their goal is 5,000 signatures. Petition by The People Of Denver We do not know why he is assigned to the Broncos games every year. It is sure and complete torture for Bronco Fans to have to listen to his biased drivel every week. Please sign this petition so our voice can be heard. We are tired of Phil Simms in Denver! If you'd like to sign the petition, click here. Enough of Simms' bias ruining Broncos games for Broncos fans. Last edited by thabear04; 09-15-2014 at 12:14 PM.. |

I doubt it...they'll save that for really *important* problems, like when the ESPN NFL Gameday crew does not unanimously pick Denver to win all 16 regular season games...

If I was the commissioner, I'd cut them a deal. No Phil Simms doing your games to appease your crybaby nature, but you have to stop doing that completely asinine and embarrassing "Incomplete" chant that makes your fan base appear to have the intelligence of a late-season head of cabbage.

That's a tall order and a bold statement considering the scope of your own idiocy.

Denver Fans would only be happy with a play by play team of Shannon Sharpe and Mr. Ed.

Simms is a homer for the Patriots (the Belichick connection) so I don't have a problem with him. I don't think he's an awesome announcer, but I think he's fine, pretty much.
Some of them are just terrible. Cris Collinsworth (who I know some folks HATE) is the best in my book. Think he's far and away the smoothest and most insightful.

Jaws and Gruden are my favs.
Can't stand Aikman or the midget he's always with. And Collinsworth is terrible. |

Wow, I feel really sorry for the Broncos fans that are upset by this . . . . I really do.
I guess when you're 2-0 and having rules altered to benefit your QB, you have to find something to bitch about . . . . . |
