Commentary Bias?

These past few weeks I've been on both the Cardinals forum and Packers forum, and every time I look on their boards to see how they felt about the game, their fans are complaining about bad commentary. How it seems they are bias towards Newton and the Panthers.

Okay first of all, this rookie has been impressive. Of course they are going to be interested in the things he is doing after an unprecendented off-season. This guy is setting records and looks to be the next big QB in the league.

Second of all, people need to get over who is commentating their games, and that goes for some of you in here as well. (I say this in love.:D ) I could care less if Lou Holtz was broadcasting our games, I don't turn on the tv to hear people commentate, I turn it on to watch the game. You think I care if they get my players' names wrong? If we become a great team and stay on this track we are going in getting better, everyone will know the names of our players.

I do find it funny however, that people mostly complain when it seems like the other team is being mentioned more, yet have no problem when their team is constantly being praised.

If any retarded cheeseheads are bitching about Mora being biased towards the Panthers then their dumb asses weren't listening to the same game that I was.

I don't pay much attention to the announcers but I've heard that he both loves Newton too much and hates Newton. I personally heard nothing that stuck out in either direction. Maybe everyone is just too sensitive. It cant be both.

Every fanbase thinks the commentators are biased toward the other team.

Yeah I agree with that, and I didn't really mind card fans complaining about the commentary. Yet I kind of chuckled when I saw packer fans complaining. Going back to week 1, a cardinal fan posted that the commentary wouldn't be so biased once the panthers went up against the champs, yet here I find the packer fans complaining in the same fashion.:D

This reminds me of when Vick first jumped in the league. I was miserable watching Falcons/Panthers games because no matter what Vick did, good or bad, the announcers could not go 2 minutes without mentioning something about him and how dynamic he is.

That being said, sucks for everyone else not to have a guy like Cam.

the only person i have ever had a problem with commenting on our game was tory holt last year.

nothing against him as a person, he was just painfully horrible at it. the hate for guys like aikman and buck confound me after hearing holt stumble through the entire game. at least they are coherent and can finish thoughts.

I agree with this statement 314%, except for Joe Buck games. I thought Randy Moss "mooning" Lambeau during the 2004 playoffs was pure awesome, but Buck spent the rest of that game bitching about it.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
