Is Jim Nantz openly rooting for the Jets?

[exstatman]

Seems like all good Jets plays are called louder than Steelers plays. And that fumble call near the half sounded like some 12 year old Jets fan trying to convince himself it was a pass. Don't remember Nantz being a homer like this before.

[teaserpleaser]

dont know but im openly rooting for better playcalling on 2nd and goal from inside the 1...

[exstatman]

Totally different issue!

[DwightShrute]

naw he just rather call a game that's close rather than a 24-0 or worse one

[warriorfan707]

That incomplete pass that was challenged was pretty surprising, looked like a catch to me

He said he thought it would be overturned and he was right

He beat Phil Simms, lol

Guy's ego is bigger than all of Heinz Field. He wants all of the US watching a close finish so he can get some gay line in at the end a la "Rock Chalk Championship".

i think hes openly rooting for the team to come back and make this thing a game

sounds like maybe he had money on the Jets to cover. That last touchdown he was like they should of went for 2 there uh yeah sure Jim wonder why.

Haha, I didn't understand what the hell he was talking about. But yeah, the line moved to -4 didn't it...

[exstatman]

Even to the end, something like "A couple more snaps, but remember, they botched a couple earlier, do the Jets have a chance" or close to that.

[warriorfan707]

I seriously doubt Nantz has money riding on the Jets guys

"The Jets almost got there" Jim Nantz

WHAT?? They never had the ball with a chance to go ahead, how in the hell is that "almost got there" ??

[Cuse0323]

yeah he had the jets +4, when he said they should have gone for 2 that made it obvious. i had them too but no reason to go for it there.

[warriorfan707]

They were down 24 zip and made it a 5 pt game

Thats what he meant by "almost got there"

You guys are funny

Nantz is lost. He said go for 2, so if you score a TD you can be up 27-24. You get the same result if you go for two after the next TD.

Sounds like he had +4 and wanted the push.

Pretty sure "almost got there" means they had a chance to win. The Jets never had the ball with a chance to win. Kinda like giving a save to a pitcher that never faces the tying run.
