Social media rips former Purdue QB, longtime CBS broadcaster for bias during Alabama-Texas A&M game
A lot of fans in the SEC may be just fine if they never have to hear former Purdue quarterback and longtime CBS broadcaster Gary Danielson call a game again. Based on the criticism he received over the weekend, his comments were not well received unless you’re a fan of Alabama.
Over the weekend, Danielson was with Brad Nessler to call the CBS Game of the Week, featuring No. 2 Alabama and No. 13 Texas A&M. Throughout the game, Danielson was getting crushed on social media for his “biased” analysis throughout the game, which apparently carried a heavy Crimson Tide lean.
Several went as far as to say that Danielson was rooting for Alabama to win the game — which it did, defeating A&M 52-24.
Below is an overwhelming amount of criticism thrown Danielson’s way from Saturday’s contest:
Texas A&M ties it at 14. Gary Danielson is in tears. And A&M should be 17-14 up.

Gary Danielson, cries for minutes after his beloved Alabama gives up scores. It’s never the other team, always an Alabama mistake. This dude is a chump.
