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.

Every fan base hates (almost) every announcer.

Is it a sign that fans are thin skinned and can't take criticism of their teams? Or is it a sign that NFL announcing is generally terrible? I think it's both.

How often does someone say "Great, ___ is announcing this game!" vs " Well, at least it isn't Dan Dierdorf." Basically, there are a greater number of announcers who make the game worse than make it better.

People also remember the slights more. When an announcer praises their team, they're all like "****ing A right. That's not bias, that's just truth."

i hate virtually every color ('color'...not colored..) announce the NFL has.

the only announcers I enjoy listening to, aren't even in the NFL. Musberger, Herbstreit, Danielson, Lundquist, Nessler etc.

announcers are just another spoke of suck in the NFL wheel of suck.

The only thing that I saw that could even considered as "bias" was the announcers playing up the storyline. I am pretty sure it was looked at as a sort of David versus Goliath kind of thing with the Broncos being heavy favorites. As the game wore on and KC kept it much closer than expected and set themselves up for a possible win, it became the announcer's job to play that aspect up. That's pretty much what they are there for though.

I agree with this. I generally find college announcers to be a cut above their NFL counterparts. Which leads me to believe that there is more to it than just irrational "So and So hates my team!" claims of bias.

Joe Buck, Dan Fouts and Brent Musburger are the worst in the announcing game today.

lmao, I guess when you're so used to being slurped by everyone in the media it must sting when someone actually calls it like they see it. Not that I agreed with everything he said, but you've gotta be kidding me.

Dude sounds sauced 50% of the time I hear him call a game. He seems like he's a homer for the likes of ND, Texas, USC et cetera.

Listening to English announcers call the game is great. They get so happy when they remember the nicknames of the teams. I caught this highlight called by a soccer guy yesterday:




It was hilarious.

Every time I hear Simms call a Broncos game, I come away with the impression that Phil wants to have Peyton's babies.

TBH, I thought yesterday that he was so complementary to the Chiefs only to make the (inevitable) win by the Broncos more impressive.
