Bronco fans trying ban Phil Simms from Broncos games...

Mike in St. Louis : 9/15/2014 1:41 pm
"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."

First, they out of their mind  
Bobby Humphrey's Earpad : 9/15/2014 1:43 pm : link
if they think Phil is biased against Peyton Manning.

Secodn, have they HEARD Troy Aikman do a Cowboy game?
Most likely sour old time bronco fans bitter about the super bowl.

Deal with it!
that's ridiculous

what a whiny fanbase.
That can't be true

We all know that announcers are biased against [my favorite team], so it would be impossible for him to also be biased against the Broncos.
These are the same people who used to have

Simms should be banned from all games because he's an awful analyst.

+1
cowboy fans notoriously believe aikman is anti cowboy  
MarshallOnMontana : 9/15/2014 1:53 pm : link
The fact that he has 3 superbowls is the only thing keeping them from going full tiki on him. But many giant fans see him as anti giant and a cowboy homer. Most times when fans see bias in sports announcing it is because theyre biased themselves

someone needs to repost that "espn hates your team" piece from a few years ago
Even granting that he IS a questionable analyst

He and Jim Nantz are the biggest Peyton Fans ever.

Yep, and 1 dropped pass.....BEST EVER in that game
I guess Bronco Fans

Have never heard of a mute button. If they're so annoyed with Phil Simms, just mute the sound.
it's amazing how much hand wringing fans do over the announcers  
Giants11 : 9/15/2014 2:13 pm : link
of all the problems confronting the sport right now that is far far down on the list.

Yep. That's what it's really about.
Why aren't they ...  
BronxBob : 9/15/2014 2:30 pm : link
... listening to their radio broadcast? Does it suck?
Watched the game yesterday like many of you...  
Pete in CO : 9/15/2014 2:31 pm : link
...and on one hand, I do thing Mr. Simms is trying to be more funny than analytical, which comes off poorly sometimes.

But, while the Broncos' success is well documented over the past few years, I do see that the fan base has become a bit overbearing out here. Yes, yes, yes... your Broncos are doing well. Happy for you. Now get over it. You almost gagged up a lead against your rivals at home. Deal with that better... Phil Simms has nothing to do with all the penalties in the 4th Qtr.
Why would Simms be biased against the Broncos?  
mamu : 9/15/2014 2:49 pm : link
He beat them in the Super Bowl, he probably loves the Broncos!
They should ban him...  
FatMan in Charlotte : 9/15/2014 2:56 pm : link
because he's a horrendous announcer.

I loved Simms the Giant. He's almost unlistenable as Simms the analyst.

teso56 : 9/15/2014 3:18 pm : link
Agree with most on here - he is not that good of an analyst. His worst moment clearly in Superbowl 47 (Balt vs San Fran). He took a lot of criticism and rightfully so.

Aikman is better than Simms by a wide margin. And I do not believe Aikman is anti-giant at all. Aikman has always been fair to Eli and Tom Coughlin.

I know many find Collinsworth annoying but for me he is by far the best analyst of the 3 main networks big teams.

For what its worth, I think Kirk Herbstreit is fantastic as a college football analyst - he is probably best "football" analyst of any major network. Him and Collinsworth.
The drop off from Madden to Collinsworth was enourmous.  
giantgiantfan : 9/15/2014 3:29 pm : link
I also find his voice very annoying. But that was a while ago now and I don't mind him anymore. Though I still find his voice annoying at times. I don't mind Aikman either, Buck is annoying.
Has anyone tried to mute the TV and listen on the radio lately?

Every time I try it, there is a delay that drives me nuts.
That wasn't an article ... that was a petition  
baadbill : 9/15/2014 4:32 pm : link
and it was written by kmonty ... Googled that and found this:

"The latest from Karen Montgomery (@kmonty). Grad student in literature, mom of a toddler, and lover of coffee."

Like anyone gives a shit about what some fucking grad student says.

You said it! I am so glad all graduate students are banned from this site! But ... even though the level of discourse and analysis here is so marvelous, nobody on this site gives a shit about what anyone else thinks -- unless of course they happen to be agreeing with you -- which doesn't require getting into graduate school - just kindergarten.

2 tvs, red zone channel, Floyd, Tull, Zappa on the surround sound. Don't they have legal pot in Denver?

Long live Phil Simms!

SanFranGiantsFan : 9/16/2014 6:22 am : link
Not a fan of Simms as an announcer, which kills me because I want to like him, but he's just not good.
This sounds silly.

However, I'm willing to fully bankroll any movement to ban Mike Breen from calling anymore Knicks games.
