Jim Nantz and Phil Simms will be on the call for Saints-Broncos (1 Viewer)

[DaFranchise80]

Per 506Sports. The fact they're calling the game should mean that it will be broadcast to a significant amount of the country.

Jim Nantz called our Super Bowl win, so I'll always have a soft spot for his play by play.

The Ravens are playing on Thursday night so hopefully I'll be able to get the Saints game on Sunday.

Why does Simms still have a job??? I'd rather have Hostetler

And did you guys know that Jeff Hostetler is the uncle of LB N Stupar from the Saints??

Phil Simms makes Ronde Barber sound like one of the best.

 

[blackadder]

Phil Simms? The same guy who still says we would've lost to the Colts in the SB if Freeny was healthy... Great.

Simms always runs down the Saints. Always biased to th negtive. It's a generational thing I guess.

Love Nantz, but Simms is not 1 of my favorites.

 

[GWave120]

The Saints/Seahawks game was actually televised in my area last week, so I'm optimistic the Saints/Broncos game will be on next weekend.

According to the preliminary broadcast map, WBOC in Salisbury will be broadcasting the game.

The Ravens are playing on Thursday night so hopefully I'll be able to get the Saints game on Sunday.

I'm not sure where in VA you are, but that same map unfortunately shows that the vast majority of the state will be getting Chiefs-Panthers, and the DC area will be getting Dolphins-Chargers. The only exception I currently see that will be showing Saints-Broncos is the SW part of the state, which I believe is serviced by WJHL out of Johnson City, TN.

Well that just sucks. I actually live in northern VA. I wonder if the local CBS station wanted to leave that slot open because the Redskins are also playing at 1pm (Fox)? Oh well, guess I'll follow the Saints game on Redzone or go to the local Buffalo Wild Wings and watch it. Thanks for the update.

"Two weeks ago, the Jets kept blitzing.....it cost ya. If I'm the NO Saints....I would put the extra guys in coverage...."

(blitz)

"Picked off!! Look out!! .... "

*****

"What was I saying? 'Don't blitz'......well they sent everybody..."

 

[AARPSaint]

Here's my transcription of Phil Simms trying to summarize XLIX right after Porter's INT. I hope it's reasonably accurate.

Here's the story...the onsides kick, goin' for it on fourth down...and that interception...all...every one of them took courage...the onside kick, goin' for it on fourth down and not gettin' it...just three brave calls by the Saints...where they didn't get it...yes..okay..that's the...that's it.

Then, he remembered the two-point conversion. Poor Phil, he got really confused.

 

[MJ in Calif]

We're the lead CBS game this coming week.

I really like Nantz, but no argument on Simms. SB44 right before Porter's pick, and he hits us with, "I wouldn't blitz Manning if I were the Saints! I'd put the extra men in coverage!" Yeah, great call on that one, Ding Dong.

LOL. Phil Simms. He also made a comment back in 2009 on the This is the NFL broadcast on Showtime right after the Saints demolished his Giants. It was something like "if the Saints don't blitz, the Giants win in a shoot out". Really Phil. Well they did blitz Phil as that is part of the game. It is not cheating to blitz. What a tool!

 

[stadanko]

why?

I would rather stick a fork in my eye than listen to Simms

It's actually pretty fun if you just picture everything he says coming out of Gomer Pyle's mouth. It really accentuates how dim he is.

His son's power rankings....

Chris Simms&#39; NFL Power Rankings Ahead of Week 10 | Bleacher Report

Ranks the Saints 21st. Chargers 15th and Seahawks 6th. Giants 8th, Broncos 7th Chiefs 5th.

 

[JackT.]

Phil Simms makes Ronde Barber sound like one of the best.

are you serious? Phil is a chore to listen to but at least he knows the players' name and can enunciate correctly. Barber is the worst. Horrible. I would rather listen to Fran Drescher laugh in my ear for a month than listen to Ronde Barber stumble over every sentence.
