At Least He Didn't Mention Santa

iSportacus, on the "national media vs. Philly" B.S.:

Entertaining the “national media’s against Philly” argument is like listening to Republicans whine about “activist judges.” It’s an artificial, entirely speculative construct that relies for its sensibility on the willingness of people to look for only one side of the presentation... the real reason people think this way is because they’re used to their home town media 95% of the time they tune in to sports. So when they hear some guy who’s not Merrill Reese or Chris Wheeler or Tim Saunders who (because of their audience) naturally gravitate towards a one-sided broadcast, they think the network got a couple of guys from the Soviet Red Army to call the game. Looking for a national broadcast to be as home-town-friendly as a local one is like hoping you’ll derive as much joy out of having a catch with someone else’s dad.
I think every fan thinks Joe Buck hates their team.

I think in a lot of cases, they just hate Joe Buck.
