As usual no respect from networks.

I just read the daily rag (Daily Courier) here in Grants Pass and they had a wrap up of Sunday's games. They made a big deal of Luck's four TDs but didn't even mention the Pittsburgh/Baltimore game. The game wrap up article was written by the Associated Press. I had to re-read the article three or four times and it just wasn't there.

You could abbreviate that as the ***. press. The content of news papers has gone so far down the hill with syndicated news feeds and agendas of the folks that control what the wire services send it is beyond the pale. I am not surprised that the steelers and the record setting performance did not make it at all, after all we have never been the media darlings. In the 70s it was always trying to find something not about the steelers with those guys, the fact that they did not choose Chuck Noll for coach of the year during those years is mind numbing to me.

If you have doubts about this tell me the last time you have seen the number of service men killed or wounded prominently displayed in one of those papers. Not trying to bring up politics, that is just the most easily displayed variable that demonstrates an agenda by the news services that I could think of quickly, one might also look at global warming, unemployment etc. if you are interested in other venues.

Ben will never get the respect that is thrown out to a hand full on NFL QB's. All I can say let Manning and Brady play in games as against Baltimore and let the flags stay in the pockets and see how they fare.

I take it that is a rhetorical question, or were you really wanting a list?

 

[skialta]

lol, touche good sir.
i just don't understand why people get all up in arms about things like this. I mean, they have a job to do and their job is to get people to talk about what they've said. no big deal. so what if so and so said we suck? for the most part i think that they do a pretty good job assessing the teams in the league. of course they have their favorites!

Peyton Manning takes a shot at Phil Simms November 3, 2011

“I don’t talk to Phil,” Manning said, via Phillip B. Wilson of the Indianapolis Star. “Phil doesn’t talk to me. He did text me after that, saying ‘Hey, sorry to drag your name into this.’ I wrote back, ‘Phil I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ He said, ‘Well on my show, Inside the NFL, I made this statement.’ I said, ‘Phil, I hate to break it to you, but I don’t watch your show, along with a lot of other people that I don’t think watch that show.’ Giving himself a little more credit than probably was merited.”

Simms gets worse every year. I don't even know if he's speaking English anymore. It takes him nine days just to say the word "outside." He doesn't even bother finishing sentences. "What did we sayeee before the gayme, Jeem? RUNNEENG, RUNNEENG, RUNNEENG THE BALL..." He's like a robot someone threw a glass of water on.

I think Simms represents a kind of perfected TV personality, some who has been so ingrained with football announcing cliches that he believes all of it. It's like listening to someone who's been brainwashed but has also been allowed to retain his horrible, horrible Kentucky accent.

-Phil Simms continued to say unbearable things about football on Sunday. Towards the end of the Chargers defeat against the Bears where they had played awful on special teams, given up 31 points on defense, and turned the ball over three times on offense Simms offered them encouragement saying that they should be proud of how they played. And oh yeah, they had exactly 0 yards of offense in the 4th quarter. Proud is the word I’d use!

http://www.si.com/more-sports/2013/02/04/super-bowl-cbs-broadcast-richard-deitsch:

People will be talking about the broadcast on Monday (and beyond) and not for the right reasons. This crew has had much better games, and I say that knowing it faced challenges no other Super Bowl broadcaster ever has dealt with. The biggest problem on Sunday was Simms. He did not have a strong game, from his inability to let plays breathe (tweeted media critic and NBA All-Star Kevin Durant: "Feel like I'm playin madden, Phil Simms talkin to damn much.") to too often not providing clarity to the questions posed at him by Nantz. It took Simms forever to answer when asked if the momentum had changed during the delay, and on the final offensive play for the Niners, when Kaepernick's pass to Michael Crabtree fell incomplete after there was jostling between Crabtree and Ravens defensive back Jimmy Smith, Simms offered viewers confusion. He first liked the no-call by the officials, then he wasn't so sure. "The more angles I see, the more confused I get," Simms said. (And this was after he offered zero insight into what the play might be.) Finally, he conceded it would be hard to throw a penalty flag in that situation. (Shame, too because Arnold had great shots of how both Harbaughs saw the play.)

Minutes later, when Nantz asked him whether the Ravens should take a safety, Simms said he would not punt the football. He followed that by saying Nantz brought up a great point, followed by reaffirming his original position. (The Ravens ended up taking the safety and them punting.) It's simply hard to imagine Cris Collinsworth or Mike Mayock being so hesitant on such a big stage. L.A. Daily News sports writer Tom Hoffarth offers the transcript of Simms from the game's final plays.

What else? CBS offered nothing on the anti-gay comments from 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver, who gave them enough of an opening given how often he was burned by Ravens receivers. The production also needed far more replays on the Ravens' fake field goal attempt with three minutes left in the second quarter. The crew offered one-and-a-half replays before heading to break, and upon returning from commercial, Simms strangely and dismissively said, "Listen, I'm not even going to second-guess the call. I understand why they did it. Everybody was up trying to block it but Patrick Willis strung the play out and it gave Darcell McBath just enough time to come over and stop the play short of a first down." (Thankfully, Nantz was on hand to act as the curious analyst, "Nine yards asking a kicker to get, that's a lot," Nantz said.) CBS eventually -- and thankfully -- gave viewers an aerial view of the play after the break, and it was a helpful one.

Phil brought his A game tonight....every completely horrible throw Andy Dalton made was the fault of the WRs or the wind or simply at how amazing the Browns secondary was. I especially loved it when Dalton ran 4 yards past the line of scrimmage and then threw the ball away drawing the penalty flag and Phil says, "I know people are wondering why he didn't just keep running...well, he wouldn't have gotten the first down anyway and so he tried to keep the play alive." Brilliant, Phil, just damn friggen brilliant.

Well, he'll never fault the QB, we already knew that.

But, yes, that Dalton scramble assessment was pretty bad.

IMO he could have gotten the first down with a little effort. Was a complete head scratcher from Simms.

 

[Drink IRON City]

I didn't get to watch him last night. His douchebachery is deeply implanted and not sure why anyone would expect anything different out of him? Insanity, doing the same thing over and over, yet expecting a different outcome? WHO's INSANE?



Salute the nation

Was Phill the guy that was talking about Norman Einstein or was that someone else? I am possibly getting my idiots mixed up now. No idotech I am not talking about you so you can save the stalking template for later.

The Steelers or Big Ben have never got the credit they deserved, and never will, all the former players turned analysts dont want the steelers to win a seventh Lombardi
