    "The announcers are biased against us" is so Twelves

    You're right, but after the dramatic win, which player do they focus on? The camera follows Manning all the way inside the tunnel. It should have been Wilson's time to shine, along with Pete Carroll.

    So essentially: "FREE PUB! Nothing else matters"?

    CBS crew pulling for an AFC win. Water still wet. They know their audience: business decision

    Yeah, that could be. I think some of it is just that they probably get the Broncos six or seven times a year and doubt they get the Seahawks more than once a year. You're going to have a natural tendency to talk about the team you're most familiar with.

    As long as players aren't beating their wives, Payton Manning is the face of the NFL.

    It's still cool having a number 1 crew doing a Seahawk game. Nantcezzze seems like kind of a douche, but he's a good announcer. He's done Masters, Final Fours, and Super Bowls. Simms is alright. I do learn shit, although when he kept excusing Peyton Manning's third and long draws that was pathetic. Not counting playoffs, when do the Seahawks get number 1 crews? I remember Aikman doing the 49er game last year. They probably got a few in the mid 2000s. I seriously doubt they've gotten more than 15 ever. The NFL darling teams get 15 in two years.
