Aikman is biased as hell against the Packers and trust me, if there was an anti-homer club out there, I would be the president.

Granted, there is a bit more traffic on the Packers (I'd bet they call Packer games the most given we've been consistently good/prime FOX for a decade), but it's a fun exercise...

Out of curiousity, did you find any Cowboy fan complaints?
I think your compendium goes to the point I made earlier; that Aikman tends to lock-in on some gripe and just beat it to death, and that grates on any fan base. He just can't let go.
humanrefutation wrote:The "{announcer) hates my team!" complaint is tired. You can call them stupid, or ignorant, or boring, or wrong. But to accuse them of outright bias is generally pretty absurd, IMO. That Includes Buck and Aikman, who have been effusive in their praise of the Packers - even when it has been unwarranted - throughout the Rodgers tenure.

If you watch the games objectively it's hard to find bias in my opinion. When its your team you're so emotionally attached any criticism (whether constructive or not) can be interpreted as 'hate'. I would guess if you watch a game they announce between two AFC teams you might have a different perspective.

Yeah I luckily got the 2pm to account for this possibility.
Low of 44 still sucks. Stupid SF.
South Bay, different climate than San Francisco. Less wind and fog and more variation in temperature. Like 70s during the day and 40s at night around this time of year. SF is actually pretty nice this time of year.
