Simms is on CBS and it's pretty much what you get.

Fair enough, but you're saying this like you've never heard Simms before........which tells me I'm right, that you don't watch any football other than the Hawks. Which would explain why you get annoyed when the announcers are being critical of the Hawks (which they should be).
Simms and Nantz have been together for like 10 years btw, this shouldn't have been your first exposure to Simm's style.

There were lots of praise for both teams - annoying yes, partial - I didn't hear it.
I was just glad they didn't replay the late hit to Manning that I haven't read about anywhere. Think it was Bennet that came late and hit Manning with both arms raised up over the head area. We were SO lucky that wasn't illegal hands to face / hit to helmet on a qb and 15 yards.

They also didn't take into account the slight delay between Manning's cadence and Ramirez's snap (which could have been a snap infraction) because there's no audio during replay. Just because the defense got a jump doesn't mean the ball moved when it was supposed to, but I'll have to re-watch it to see. In any case, it was nothing compared to when we play the Whiners and they are lined up in the NZ constantly and never draw a flag for it.
Read my post again and then read yours. You actually sound like your crying and butthurt.DrDix":2ud9bluw said:Butthurt fans like you guys take anything a commentator says and takes as a slight against this team.
Stop crying about the most stupid things. There is no way Simms said anything positive about the Seahawks right? No way that he is allowed to call out an OBVIOUS offsides penalty. No way he is allowed to compliment the other team on what they do right.
Unreal.

It'll be sooner than that Montana. I think the national noise will be far more pro Seahawk once we win a couple more, maybe even one. Russ will have a lot to do with that. Of course, that will never be the case with the Eastcoastbiased Sports Programming Network. They'll still be busy verbally masturbating over the Dullass Cowpatties and/or Andrew Luck.MontanaHawk05":e9xazfy7 said:Both Peyton Manning and the Broncos as a franchise have more history in the league than the Seahawks, even despite our Super Bowl win. When Simms performs verbal f******o on the Broncos, he's speaking to the majority and both he and the network know it.
The Seahawks' only way to escape that script is to become a dynasty themselves. By 2040, Seattle will be the "American favorite" that everyone is sick of hearing about.

I almost wanted to mute the TV. Is there a way I can stream Kiro710 /Steve Raible / Warren Moon. The only thing is I live in San Diego. During the game I tried to find a link online but they said coverage wasn't available in my area. Thanks in Advance Go Hawks !!!
Huh?
Simms was gushing all over Wilson for most of the game.
But I know, EVERYONE'S OUT TO GET US! OMG EAST COAST MEDIA BIAS! THE LEAGUE CREATES RULES FOR PEYTON!
Yes made comments about how Wilson was playing great, made comments about how good and underrated our WR's are and are the best blocking group in the league. Praised Sherman and said people who called him out last game don't know what they are talking about. I think he praised both teams yesterday.
