When have they ever portrayed a player like this??
It’s terrible.
Hard to not believe in the Mississippi State bias with stuff like this
Why don't you guys watch NFL network?
Can I just say 17 espn
Not one video of his play or his talent. Nothing but negative stuff from years ago and the gall to show the video. Those that think there isn't a bias are blind. You think they do a Bama player that way? Everybody else gets feel good stories.
Yep... Total BS...Quote:

That was bullshit and a complete insult to Simmons and what he's accomplished at State.
NFL Network is simulcasting the feed from ESPN, so that is not an option.Quote:

Same here. NFL network did not show the video. Also, ABC and ESPN are the same company. I can't stand either, so NFLN is my go-to.Quote:

They spoke very highly of Simmons and seemed to indicate that they felt he had grown past the altercation even listing all of his positive character qualities. Stop whining about everything. Everybody is not always out to get you.
They drilled it home, didn't need to go that over the topQuote:

They go out of their way to show what they think about America, outside of the two coastal elite crowds.
Yeah they tacked that on at the end but not sure what you were watching; there was nothing but bad on him. Built up the drama before showing the video. Only video they should have shown was his highlight film.Quote:

Keep your focus. This is shitty enough without you muddying the waters with your bullshit, dude.Quote:

Yep I got to give it to Booger. I've been hard on him in past; gotten cut him some slack now; he was only one to come to Simmons defense and put a positive spin on it. Even he could see how bad it was coming off.Quote:

Remember the joy we got from an old miss draft night bong mask? I guess what comes around goes around.
Also this isn't a Mississippi State conspiracy. Some of yall are legit paranoid to the point of needing professional help. This is ESPN trying to get views and clicks. It's how entertainment works. It's a nasty business, but why are y'all.shocked?
I thought all the announcers were very positive about everything and explained that it was under different context in which this happened.
