NFL announcers

Since when did commentators start calling QB's by first name? And the bias for a team is not even concealed anymore. I guess its like mainstream media. Collinsworth and Al Micheals sound like theyre going to Archies for dinner after the game to eat with Eli and Peyton. And don't get me started on Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

I think they've always done it for the QBs that were stars. Especially those with distinctive names like Eli, Brett or Peyton

I tried to post, but my post got eated. What kind of society are we living in where comentators call quarterbacks by their first names?
America is swirling down the drain, people. Down the drain.

I don't seem to remember anyone calling Elway "John", Marino "Dan" or Montana "Joe". Even Danny was called "White". You could be right though. They may like saying Eli.

Well I'm quite sure that one of the announcers saying he has a tingling in his leg wouldnt bother you.

And the real question is, what are you gonna do about it? I mean its easy to go on the internet and post your completely understandable greivance,but what are you prepared to DO? Will you go door to door gathering signatures for your petition? Because if you're not prepared to put in the time the trouble and the elbow grease to make your dream come true, this is just internet palaver on your part.
