5 seconds into the game and the Fox announcers

[GimmeTheBall!]

Buck and Aikman were already making excuses for the lions/
How they were missing three key players. Blah, blah, blah.

I don't buy into the conspiracy theories of the talking heads disliking the Cowboys.
But it seemed that during the whole game, those two were remarking how the Lions should do this or that to beat the cowboys.

I wonder if it was more dislike of the Cowboys than trying to make excuses for what they believed would be a blowout and they'd have to give the Lions an out for such a boring game.
Turns out it was an exciting game thanks to our I think I can, I think i can defense. But there was a definite pro Lions tilt in the broadcast booth.

Anyone? Anyone?

Yes without a doubt there was a PRO Lion contingency in place. It was handed down in a league mandate from the Commish himself.



On a serious note. This does happen in both the NFL and College games from time to time with what is considered to be the Underdog team in the match up.

I can't say that was what was going on in this game as I missed pretty much all of the TV or SOPcast of the broadcast for the first half and therefore was listening to babe and sham on the internet radio broadcast.

God bless America for having radio broadcasts, too!

I was at the game and one thing that seemed very odd was when the Cowboy's were trying to get rolloing....bamm a Lions injury. This slowed the game down alot. There seemed to be way to many injuries that took alot out of the Cowboy's momentum.
