I just rewatched the entire Bama game with the express intent of paying close attention to the supposed massive anti-LSU (and pro-Bama) Danielson and CBS bias.

Here's the verdict: anyone who thinks that is FOS.

Really, the worst thing I can say is that he mispronounced Ensminger twice. If you insist on being butthurt about that, then that's on you.

Gary and Nessler absolutely RAVED about Joe Burrow and CEH for the entire gottdamn game. They gushed over Orgeron as well.

It's true, CBS' analysis on the Moss catch was kind of lame...but Nessler came out early in the 3rd to set the record straight saying that they did not have the information that the ref had ruled on the field that he was pushed out. Essentially, they owned up and moved on.

They persistently looked for Joe Burrow's "Heisman moment". Gary kept going back to the well to talk about the fake QB draw Burrow perfectly executed on 1st down on the last scoring drive. He was absolutely tickled at how tricky and inventive it was.

They perfectly described CEH's struggle as a smaller player and waxed poetic over his accomplishments. And Nessler did a great job describing the scene when Clyde broke down and cried in his coach's shoulder.

And, oh yeah - they said some good things about Tua. The horror.

Someone had complained that in the final minute, they covered all of LSU's celebrations with a screen about Bama still being able to make the playoff. a)it was a very relevant thing to talk about b)it didn't last long at all and they perfectly covered the final 2 snaps of the game and the postgame celebration.

Take off the P&G glasses and just enjoy 2 pros calling the best damn game of the season.

He’s a smug annoying bama rider who isn’t great at his job.

It's because fans hear what they want to hear. It really subconsciously unless someone tries to change it.

Bama fans hate him and think he is a Bama hater, as fans we tend to dwell on people being negative for some reason.

It’s funny that there’s an argument that the best in the business actually sucks.

Stfu, Gary.

He kept negging the Tigers the entire damn game. So many back-handed compliments.

He does this shite even when Bama isn’t playing.


Honestly, if you can’t pick up on his subtle and not-so subtle jabs, you’re more than likely an idiot.

Gary has fantasies about Saban and Kirby. The man would cheat on his wife in a 3 some with them.

I don’t have a problem with GD. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with CBS games.

They take too god damn long

I believe Gary really just didn't like Miles' style of football. Posters regularly bash Gary, yet there would be 200 posts on the scoreboard forum centered around negativity.

One thing that I do notice about Gary posts is that the up votes generally equal to the downvotes, no matter if the OP is pro Gary or not.

I think that speaks to the fact that he has the type of personality that is polarizing. You either love him or you hate him.

I personally hate him but it's a nice hate to have given this is the SEC championship. I might even turn him off mute for a little while.

You are absolutely correct, and I’ve been saying this for years. Danielson praises the praiseworthy and calls it like it is. LSU homers have not liked the way he has continuously praised Bama for the last 8 years, but Bama has been praiseworthy - it’s as simple as that.

If Bama starts going 8-4 for a couple of years in a row Bama fans are going to claim that Danielson is an LSU homer. It ain’t Danielson; it’s homerism among LSU fans.

the OP is correct. Danielson doesn’t have a bias.

Since this board has a Bama obsession problem, they project that onto Danielson, since he does a lot of Bama games and properly speaks highly of them, since they’ve been the most dominant team in the conference for a decade.

But this board can’t handle it.

Does not matter. That part of the play is NOT REVIEWABLE. They spent the entire time arguing that it would be overturned because of it.

My issue with Danielson is based on a number of games where he's praising or pushing the Bama agenda, even when they're not in the game he's covering. And he doesn't do it for Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Florida etc.
He's knowledgeable but has kinda that passive aggressive snob thing going.

I agree. On CEH’s TD catch Gary said he is going to be a great NFL player and a matchup nightmare

I find Gary annoying and think he has lost a step but this parroted narrative about his having some kind of a Bama bias is total nonsense to anyone that isn’t overly sensitive.

Now go watch the previous 7 Alabama games and report back.

ESPN, CBS, etc. gush over LSU when we're good and don't when we're mediocre. They gush over Bama more than LSU because they're consistently better than LSU at football. That offends a lot of people around here.
