Apparently, most fan bases feel this way

Biased against Alabama


quote:

That brings us to CBS commentator Gary Danielson, who takes a lot of flak from Alabama fans who accuse of him of being "biased" against the Crimson Tide.


Danielson loves Alabama
quote:

The consensus among most who tuned in to watch the game is that Danielson is rather fond of the Alabama football program — perhaps too fond. Fans and media members sounded off on Danielson’s love affair with the Crimson Tide on Twitter during and after Saturday’s game.


Gary hates every team,
quote:

Portions of seemingly all 14 SEC fan bases presume Danielson as anti-them. “I did a Vanderbilt game and all of a sudden they go, ‘You don’t like us either!’”
quote:

he called the 2002 Michigan-Ohio State game, which the Buckeyes won 14-9 on the way to the national title. He says he drove home toward Michigan hearing a few Ohioans on sports-talk radio lament his anti-Buckeye bias, then crossed the line to hear a few Michiganders lament his anti-Wolverine bias.


Gary hates UGA
quote:

He is impossible to listen to, and his bias against UGA is so over the top it's sickening. Like Nessler, but can't stand Danielson.


Gary and Verne hate Florida State.
Gary picks his bias before the game
quote:

They cannot remain neutral at all! They pick their team in the game and constantly berate the other team!

Gary hates the Gators too
quote:

He has always been a Gator Hater

Gary is a hack.


ETA: But I do like him more than Verne. Verne was a plague that I'm glad I'll never have to listen to during an LSU game, ever again.

He's just negative all the time. I think folks only pay attention when he's being negative about their team.

His actual analysis isn't far off, he's just a dick about it.

Maybe he's just bad at what he does?

Gary is good at breaking down individual plays, but he's not good at the larger picture comments he likes to make.

There lots of bias calls from the UGA game. I watched and listened sober last night. Zero bias.

Bookmarked for future references of "Gary is blatantmy rooting against LSU" which are certain to happen. It's one of the dumbest things said on tRant and that's saying something.

He’s just an awful commentator. Nothing more, nothing less.

It sounds like he's living rent free in your head.

Not unlike the bias call, this one is controversial as well. You'll find lots of "best in the business" comments.

And pre-snap. He's good at noticing changes in formations, or mis-matches, different players in the slot, or if the D is out of sorts and bring that to the spectator's attention.

I like football, but I'm not a huge Xs and Os guy, so I can appreciate that aspect of what he does.

They don't have a vendetta....they just say stupid shite that can be interpreted the wrong way....and often are.

Gary doesn't "love" or "hate" any team more than any other from week to week. What he DOES do is choose a horse before each game, and openly root for that team and against the other.

It happens every broadcast. He makes excuses for the team he thinks is better while qualifying the success of the opponent.

Rewatch the UGA game. He mentioned the "bad" spot (it wasn't a bad spot) that went in LSU's favor no fewer than 8 times at varying points in the second half.

Gary does a good job. Fans just like to complain.
