I agree. I think Gary is a bumbling fool. He is biased. He rambled on and on on cam newton. I think he has a schoolboy crush or something. Please get him out of this situation and commentate on figure skating or something like that. Even if I were an auburn fan, which I am not, he would really aggravate me to no end. He has no place doing what he does.

Gary Danielson is HORRIBLE! It was frustrating to hear his inane color commentary for Auburn vs. Arkansas and Auburn vs. LSU in October 2010. (I live in Albuquerque and am not a SEC homer whatsoever) I did not notice any bias on his part (I have a degree in broadcast journalism), but I fount his comments to be shallow, inaccurate, uncreative, adn ultimately annoying. Verne Lundquist is just better at basketball broadcasting and merely enables Danielson’s stupidity. He’s babbling on about how Auburn’s frosh RB’s legs look like Ray Rice’s (who he called Ron Rice after some help from producers the week prior). He cannot seem to restate anything in various ways, instead repeating himself verbatim on replay after replay. Danielson should NOT be employed on games in the top football conference. Demote him to “viewer” to spare the audience!

I am a die hard Bama fan from Oneonta,AL now living in WI.That stated, I love watching games on CBS.The videos they put on before games start and etc.Yes they do sometimes seem like they are pulling for one team or another,but hey aren’t we all?What I hated,was the Duke game with the female broadcaster.I am not anti women sportscasting,but her commentary was about as boring as you can get.ESPN while the announcers do a decent job, is boring to me for lack of emotions.They dont do the pregame hype videos like CBS either.SEC football is all about EMOTIONS and dedication to your team regardless who you pull for.We have in my honest opinion the most passionate fans in the country.Each and every one of us emotionally lives and dies each week with a win or loss.I will take a CBS broadcast any day over any other network PERIOD.The emotion they show outside the occasional mistakes makes the game that much more intense.Believe me when I say Saturdays here in my house are always intense regardless lol.((((ROLL TIDE ROLL!)))) from Wisconsin.

The commentating by Verne and Lundquist are subpar and unprofessional every game and if this doesn’t change, I will not be watching anymore games on ABC. And to add to it, ABC’s HD coverage is horrible. I would much rather watch the game on ESPN or CBS. They both have much better HD coverage. Also, Bama did look pretty bad against the roosters. They hatches their eggs all over Bama and Bama didn’t know how to cook them. Let’s hope Bama can come back and win the rest of their conference games and get back to the PAC-10 Conference Championship again. Watch out Auburn!!! We are coming for you!!!!

Wow! I thought I was the only one irritated with Danielson. It’s not about who won or lost, he was just very unprofessional.

I live in Jacksonville, FL and out local CBS station started blurring during the game and then went black. I started having a fit. M husband picked up the feed on the intrnet so I had to watch the whole game on a lap top. CBS did not come back on until the game was over.

To complain about the excitement of Danielson is a joke. You don’t think it was exciting to see a team that has won 29 straight regular season games losing? Was he supposed to be sad like you were that it was over? And as far as Verne goes, it is his job to do PLAY BY PLAY not color, not to explain things to people who don’t no anything about football. Get over it.

I am not an Alabama fan. I did however find the reporting to be completely unprofessional and boring. CBS needs to step it up. If they do not, they will not only be losing me as a viewer, but many others as well. The writer did mention that the game was going to be tough and did not opine about losing to chickens.

To say that these guys are biased is an understatement. However, you have it all wrong as they as are usually biased toward Bama. If you created a drinking game where you had to drink everytime they said “Heisman” or “National Champions”, you would be smashed by half time. Vern is so far up Bama’s rear… I used to think John-Parker-Wilson was his love child. Give me a break.

Watching ANY football game on CBS isn’t easy for me because of Danielson so I often find myself turning the tv volume down and the radio volume up. I’m a Crimson Tide faithful and I agree with Kae… Most of us take our losses and move on to the next game. As for the Bama/Gamecocks game, Bama simply didn’t want the win as badly as the Gamecocks did and it showed. But hey, no team is going to win every game. Cangratulations to South Carolina on the win! I’d say they’re my second favorite team anyway. Roll Tide!!!
