Wow, a breath of fresh air from one of our media.

Others could take a cue from Jim Nance’s statement.

But he’s probably allowed to say “give up your guns so millionaire criminals will stop beating up their girlfriends, the bill of rights doesn’t apply to you, peasants”

Nantz fully understands his job and how it impacts his audience.

I like that guy.

Follow-up:
Nantz understands America’s plea to “shut-up and performe”, whether it is the Ditzie Sluts, James “Arrogance Personified” Taylor of just plain old Phil Simms.

His paycheck is issued for his knowledge, banter and commentary. He keeps it in those bounds.
I like that guy.

Football hero turns out to be a PC wimp. He says “Redskins” repeatedly in every Skins game on the recently released Madden 15. Doubt he’ll call for EA to remove those references from the game.

So which Washington team will he be referring to? The Skins, Nationals, Wizards, or Capitals?

Shame on you Phil Simms. Why would you be so silly on national TV? WHO did you play football against all those years?? the REDSKINS!
If you do this I will have lost all respect for you.

This country has become a farce. Bearded savages are murdering normal people and threatening our existence, and a$$hole$ are fretting about the name of a team.
The savages look at this country and laugh, knowing that they can take over if they just work on our White Guilt Complex.

CBS lead analyst Phil Simms will accomplish that goal by attempting to jam his head even further than usual up his keister to muffle any statement that sounds like “Redskin.”
