Re: Dan Fouts' Charger slobbering was funny
He praised the Ravens multiple times for their 3rd down conversions at the same time saying how the Chargers offense did nothing in the 2nd half. I really never thought about any bias during the game but obviously I'm alone in this since it sounds like everyone else did.

Re: Dan Fouts' Charger slobbering was funny
I didn't trust my ears when I heard him say "I hope"; I had to ask someone if I had misheard him say "They hope". Nope. Here's the exact quote, for those fortunate enough to miss it:
“They may call pass interference on the Ravens. The fans are booing now, but they’re going to be clapping real soon. I hope.”
I've never heard anyone make such a biased statement on a network broadcast of a game. Dierdorf may ball-wash certain players, but even he's never stooped as low as Fouts.
On the bright side, I wonder if Norv would be interested in an OC job?

Re: Dan Fouts' Charger slobbering was funny
Fouts wasn't really bad at all. The only thing that sticks out in my memory is one time a flag was thrown and he said he hoped it was against the Ravens. I can forgive one slip up.
Most commentators will talk good about a team that's playing good. And bad about a team that's playing bad. And the Ravens did play one bad half of football.Master of 'Gifs for dummies'

....but Dan seemed to shut up when Jacoby Jones was tackled well out of bounds as well as some other obvious homer comments.
On the second play, when the Chargers hit Jones-out-of-bounds, he made the "soccer field" statement and commented that the officials were letting the out-of-bounds hits by both teams go un-flagged.

Re: Dan Fouts' Charger slobbering was funny
i think that one "slip-up" makes his commentary seem to have more of a bias. so even when hes merely commentating on what hes seeing during our bad half, it just comes off more one sided than maybe intended. Id agree its probably more how its interpreted than what hes actually saying. I didnt have a problem with it because we get similar treatment from time to time as well. it should be expected when he obviously has ties to the team.
