CBS Crew

Phil Simms is just the worst. And Mike Carey? How was that idiot ever an NFL ref? His expert opinion is rarely correct. Just terrible.

Carey saying Kam's pick should be ruled an incompletion... just ludicrous, idiotic.

Idiots I tell you!

To be honest the only real insufferable sports analysts are Mike Tirico and Bob Costos

It's almost as if Mike Carey has a broadcast job so that Mike Pereira can look smart for being right slightly more than half the time.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't Carey awful when he did Seattle games?

Always seemed to have a call or two against Seattle, Cleveland game few years back come to mind when we started CBJ.

Did find it funny that after the kam pick, Nantz did damage control for Carey since every time they went to him he was terrible.

I hate CBS games, even their background music going to commercials stink. Simms has a hard on for Ben and Tomlin.

Yes, he seemed to have an agenda against the Hawks, plus he was a showboating a-hole who didn't belong in the NFL.

Nantz did everything but tell the audience that Carey was doped up on cold meds.

The guy who wasn't in the NFL was the only one who could get anything right. SMH.

How about Bert and Ernie?

Was it Simms that blurted out Graham is hurt or injured (one of those) rather than he is down or is in pain type of comment?

I thought it sounded way to much like he seen it as a positive instead part of the game. Noticed things like that constantly through the game.

How long until someone starts a petition banning them from Seahawks broadcasts? :roll:

i love jim nantz, but phil simms just sounds bitter sometimes

And they are doing the superbowl.

The replay guy is an idiot. He kept trying to say Kams int was dual possession, even thought it was clearly not until the went out.

I thought the ref blew the play dead before the ball came out. Too bad Mike Carey didn't see that. Simms and Carey didn't realize that that pick play didn't turn the game in our favor, the game winning TD did that.

Even if the Steelers did get a TD or a FG, they would have a slim chance with such little time left to recover the ball and score again.

CBS has crappy analysts, worse color guys, bad sideline reporters, a yawn-worthy pre and post-game, and boring production (weak/generic bumper music and half-assed locale shots of the cities). And I'm not sure what is up with their cameras, but it seems like they lack color and vibrance compared to FOX and NBC.

They're a bunch of old AFC cast-offs that should stick to boring AFC games. Plus you've gotta sit there and stare at Tracy Wolfson's mole.

It was insufferable!
I had the game muted most of the time...
Can't remember if they ever showed those two in the booth?
Was Simm's wearing a Stealer jersey; and clutching a pee stained towel?

One of the few games I actually had to mute for awhile. Phil Simms could not have been more glaringly pro Steelers and/or anti Seattle. It was actually sort of embarassing. Most of all it was just really annoying, it was clear that he wanted all the calls to go for the Steelers and he did not do a great job of hiding it, he also took several passive aggressive little digs at the Seahawks, I'm glad he got to enjoy our win .
