GREENLANTERN Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Seriously, I talked to my Mom on the phone during(big plays) in the game and after the game. And she is livid at that guy who calls himself an announcer. All he did the whole game is root for the chargers. He has always done that(except when Parcells was here) when he commentates(if you can call it that) against the Jets. I am so sick of hearing this guy when I watch football. His ineptitude to be unbiased is really sickening. He fits in perfectly with the main stream media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason423 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I never really thought that at all today. If anything I thought he was kind of pulling for the Jets. Nance was the guy who sounded like he was favoring San Diego most of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ineptitude to be unbiased is really sickening. He fits in perfectly with the main stream media. I think Simms has actually gotten a lot better regarding the Jets than he ever used to be. The guy always has a ton of good to say about Sanchez and he even sided with the Jets on a few of the calls that went against them (e.g., the pathetically bad overturn of the fumble). I'll give you that in the past he used to seem to have a grudge against them, but he really seems to just shoot straight on them these days. I don't have any problems with him.

RutgersJetFan Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 This is odd, Simms is usually pro-Jets, at least when we're good. He's done a ton of our games in the past because of both of his sons having games on weekends here when they were both in high school. He was pretty much Chad's #1 fan in 2006, and he seemed to be pretty optimistic for the Jets all game today; particularly on the Jackson fumble and especially their chances at the half.

war ensemble Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm pretty sure Simms supported Vincent Jackson's kicking of Rex' flag. Don't ask me why. I'd prefer they fire the advertising guy that put Ted Ginn's kickoff return on the screen. And then for some reason they showed a Sanchez INT against the Falcons randomly.

AGAW Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 lolz... For those of you defending Simms... I want you to keep this in mind... On the Jim Leonhard forced fumble that was called back... "He didn't initiate contact as the ball was being caught..." "Therefore, my interpretation of the rule is that it wasn't a completed pass"... No A-hole... It's the exact opposite...

Yes, Simms definitely supported Jackson kicking the flag. He said he didn't understand how it could be a penalty. Well, f him. If someone did that to Bellicheat or Indy's coach, it would have been totally unacceptable. That Papa John's commercial with Ted Ginn - WTF?

I dont understand how he thought that there shouldnt be a penalty when jackson kicked the flag but o well. I think he was saying something similar to what my dad was saying, that it shouldn't have been as severe as it was. Saying that it should be the equivalent to delay of game 5 yards and not an equivalent of if he punched someone and got a personal foul of 15 I think what made it 15 was that he kicked it back at the jets sideline.

PaJetFan Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The only guy who dislikes the Jets more is Dan Marino - and thank God he's not an in - game announcer. He favors the other team about 75% of the time and occassionally throws the Jets some love just to try and balance it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 It amazes me how paranoid so many die-hard sports fans are about announcers that "hate" their team. I didn't hear one ounce of bias tonight towards either team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharrow Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I didn't like it when he just assumed we would go 3 runs and out at the end of the game. It took 4, but they got it. Other than that, I thought he was fine. And he's way better than Joe Buck. Joe Buck is only one step above Joe Theismann. And everyone else is at least one story above them.

Stonehands Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I love idiots that actually care who "announcers are rooting for". I am sure you can find a number of mental midget Charger fans that would say the same thing as the original poster. When I hear or see someone complaining about the refs or the announcers, I know they don't know much about the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
