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!

Counter Petition has been started in support of Simms and against whiny Denver fans.

Because Broncos fans can't deal with the truth that their team gets away with calls that other teams would not and when they get called out on it in a nationally televised game, they don't like it, even when the call goes their way. Let's show Denver Bronco fans that the rest of the NFL fans are NOT going to let them have their way. There is a difference between being biased and using your brain!

Signed.

Someone get buck and those gay raiders fans to put this on their home boards

Mr. Laz · 09-17-2014, 10:23 AM

I have a reason to like Simms now.

**notorious** · 09-17-2014, 10:25 AM

Signed.

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.

Sometimes I sync my Sirius Radio with the broadcast on TV.

Signed, sealed, delivered.

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.

How does that work? Does satellite radio have a pause feature?

Satellite or internet radio will usually be behind the TV broadcast so hit pause on your TV assuming you have a DVR. That's what I do most games.

Satellite for the car does have a pause/rewind/fast forward feature fro certain models. That in itself is worth the price. Not sure if the home versions have the same. They should, if they don't.
