I'm looking at you, Chris Berman

I know ESPN hates the Dolphins, but to pick the Bills and then say with Jim Kelly "Nobody circles the wagons...", it's a little insulting for us Dolphins fans...all the more reason for the Fins to win tomorrow.

Nobody crushes your soul like the Buffalo Bills!
 
Chris Berman doesn't call himself an analyst. He doesn't write anything. And he's not a reporter.

Berman doesn't consider himself of an expert at anything so i think it's fine for him to be a homer. You need to stop assuming that just cause they are on ESPN they consider themselves experts. Most of them don't.
 
Ahhh Buffalo could easily beat us tomorrow if we don't bring our A game. Your kind of reaching, people do this on every team's board. Everyone thinks their team is hated by every media outlet on earth.

Personally I think the Dolphins, through the years, got/get as much love as anyone when their decent. Its why expectations were always higher than reality.

Who even takes Chris Berman seriously? I don't even know when he's on TV as I don't even watch ESPN. ESPN.com does have its uses though.
 
Miami hasn't really gotten too much hate from ESPN this year. I think they have gotten more love than anything. There are alot of the analyst's that have picked the Phins. They have gotten a lot of recognition for the turn around that we have made.

Ghost is right, we could just as easily walk out of Toronto tomorrow with a big L as we can a W. This is a division game and there are no walkovers. Just ask the Patriots all the years that we sucked and still came away with a win somehow. Miami better bring their best game, and they better get a lead and put the nail in the coffin early.
 
That is not the point the thread starter is trying to make. If anyone watched ESPN this morning, it was clear homerism by Berman, the whole thing was. And then he said "Nobody circles the wagon like the Buffalo..............". You cant do that. I felt disrespected. I have nothing against people kicking against us, TONS of people do it every week, but this..........

I agree with you Dolfan

the problem is though , no matter how good the dolphins play there are no ex players for Miami working at espn and it time we get some ex players a job there or get them a job somewhere so we dont have to put up with Berman and Boomer Ession . :rotfl1::enforcer:
 
did u watch the alabama florida game today clear homerism towards the alabama side it was ridiculous!
 
Eff Berman and Kelly, I couldn`t believe it when I saw those two saying "...circle the wagons "last night. Has Berman EVER picked us to beat the Bills? Dolphins need to beat Buffalo in the worst way tomorrow....gets us one step closer to the postseason and it`ll shut the Swami up for the rest of the year!
 
once again,why do you guys care so much about what those guys say? It doesn't matter...is all TV....they get pay to talk about football and that's what they do...he's been using the "nobody circle....." forever...it doesn't mean anything...once the game starts all the talk prior to the game doesn't matter....stop getting so upset over nothing guys.....the only thing that matters is who wins the game!

Ozzy rules!!
 
I think homerism is a good thing. I hate it when sports casters have to be fake and be partial. Be a man and root for your team.
 
I'd rather be the underdog tomorrow. This team needs to stay hungry and not get overconfident.
