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.. |

At least somebody is calling out the NFL about Denver's blatant picks. |

Not much to see here, it's not as if there are a lot of announcers that are any better. Phil may just be upset with Denver because he couldn't keep Orton on the bench, then they traded for Quinn and let Chris hit the street.
Who knows - who cares. I can't stand Simms or Collinsworth, fairly equally. Need to find a radio feed to play during the games.

Simms is kind of a self loving goof that thinks a bit too highly of himself, but that doesn't make him a bad color guy. Same with Collinsworth. They've both railed on the Chiefs when the team has deserved it. I think Collinsworth works well with Al Michaels.
