Dear Fox Sports

[Merlin]

Collingsworth will prioritize blowing the young QB that he knows has a bright future ahead in Cincy. It's gonna be disgusting. With Brady out he will see this as his chance to be the announcer that brought him into the light in the big game by acting like everything he does is so amazing.

But hopefully while all that's going on the Rams win the game. And I suspect the Rams are gonna win it on the ground too btw and CC will be irritated because he spent 90% of his prep time memorizing everything about Burrow.

I grew up in LA, lived in Seattle, lived in San Diego, now I live in Tucson. All media teams have their personal bias'. I really don't pay them much heed or pay much attention. GFB and those kinds of shows are even worse. I do my own analysis and hold my own thoughts and feelings. I don't need someone else telling me what they think I should know or feel. Today too much emphasis is upon betting and fantasy football. I don't do either so I could care less.

When I lived in Mexico I would sometimes watch the games with the Spanish language announcers. That was actually more fun. They really get carried away sometimes LOL. When my GF's family is over we watch it in Spanish. So what the Fox announcers are or aren't I could care less.

Well I'm sure Aikman just wanted to be right...

Troy Aikman: All-star teams like the Rams don't work in the NFL

Troy Aikman shared that he’s seen plenty of all-star teams formed in the NFL and the Rams will suffer the same fate as the previous ones.

Did he forget about the damn Bucs??? It was barely a year ago

I don't really fault Aikman's take following the Rams' loss at Green Bay.

The Vent Thread following that game is on page 18 of the Forum. It was also attached to page 27 of the thread titled "Stafford and those two first rounders - worth it".

I have re-visited that thread a few times over the past two months for a little perspective and reminder on the mind-set, attitudes and opinions of many Rams' fans at that low-point in the this season.

Whiner nation got their banner today...

I did steal this pic from another thread. It's too good though not to post again.

Oh goddammit we have Collingsworth.

Captain Hyperbole!

Fuck Aikman, and fuck Buck.
Juvenile I know, but anyone with brain could here the bias in their tone , excitement/voice inflection, commentary and just general narrative.

Rams score - ho hum, SF fucked up.
SF scores, brilliant scheming, gritty, tough and blah fucking blah and fucking blah.


If your A Team wants to suck niner dick, please ask them to wait till next year.
Ask ‘em to try and be somewhat
fair in the SB. Or maybe provide us with an alternative.

If it’s just me, fine.

But it isn’t.

I love Aikman and Buck. But the Rams get to a Superbowl and now they get... Collinsworth?

 

[JYB]

“…and they MAY ride to the superbowl on that”.

Really?- with 1:09 left?

Bad (biased) announcing.

Yeah - not letting this go.

I was wondering about that too, and assumed he meant if the play held up. Because at that point, it wasn't entirely certain that Garoppolo's knee was not down.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Sorry to bump my own post, but for anyone defending Aikman - I’m doubling down.

Just watch/listen to him in the 4th quarter.

Looks like I am in the minority here but I have to respectfully disagree.

Just re-watched the 4th quarter, and listened carefully to every comment by Aikman. I don't hear bias in tone. The commentary seems pretty fair and objective to me.
