Best complaints from fans confused by ‘Team Stream’ broadcast

UNC Team Stream

UNC Team Stream

The CBS TV family decided to go all-out for the national championship game once again in March Madness, and that meant running the title game on three different channels. TBS hosted the unbiased national call from Jim Nantz and Bill Raftery, while TNT had a North Carolina slanted call and truTV was the Villanova homer call. These team-slanted calls were called “Team Stream” broadcasts and were intentionally biased. Apparently many fans did not get that memo.

After we received a comment on our Hubert Davis post complaining about how biased TNT was towards North Carolina, it occurred to me that many other people probably ended up watching a homer telecast without realizing it.

With that in mind, here is a compilation of some of the funniest complaints from viewers upset with the “homer” broadcast they were watching. Enjoy:

who's the Homer calling the game on TNT? Nova hits a crazy shot and he says that's great defense by NC? Come on dude! #NCAAChampionship

I am now routing for #Villanova purely for the tears of this stupid homer UNC announcer on TNT. #NationalChampionship

— Kevin Begley (@KevinBegley) April 5, 2016

Announcers deflated by Nova win–embarrassing.

— Greg Mitchell (@GregMitch) April 5, 2016

TNT provided worst coverage ever. They are the UNC Homer neywork. Embarrassing. #NationalChampionship

TNT announcer seems like a Heel homer

— Marcus Carroll (@justgiver) April 5, 2016

I honestly could care less who wins the #NationalChampionship, but these announcers are so biased for #NC that I'm embarrassed for them.

Is it me or was this TNT bcast team totally biased?! Hardly said a thing about Nova win. It's all Tar Heels lament #NationalChampionship

— Steve Edwards (@dailyedwardian) April 5, 2016

This was the most biased commentating I have ever had to suffer through. Absolutely pathetic TNT

— KatieAnnaK (@katieannak) April 5, 2016

I totally agree. The TNT commentary was dismayingly biased. The story on TNT was how poor Carolina lost, not… https://t.co/gtv0bJbEcZ

#NCAAChampionship Clown announcer on TNT is a total homer for #UNC. Making me root for #Villanova

— Dave (@FioreDV63) April 5, 2016

Who is the guy on the TNT feed that is complaining that NC isn't getting calls? Yeah there is some missed stuff but you sound like a homer.

— Jason Suszek (@crunkfisted) April 5, 2016

Does this homer announcer from @TNT hane money on North Carolina or something?

— Dave (@Dave_In_SoCal) April 5, 2016

Villanova just won & the camera is literally only showing NC players and fans reactions. How about showing the winners…

— Cody Pruitt (@cpruittt) April 5, 2016

"Sorry Villanova, you won but we're still gonna act like North Carolina won cause that's what we wanted"- TNT

— Cody Pruitt (@cpruittt) April 5, 2016

Is it me or was nova disrespected on the TNT broadcast of the national championship game? More about unc losing than nova winning #biased

— Karim Farhat (@KarimFarhat11) April 5, 2016

Hey #biased announcers on TNT Villanova Wildcats won, oh seems like you were more interested in the losers!#villanova#numberone#wildcats

— Rosemary Sweeney (@rosemary1153) April 5, 2016

Obvious bias on @truTV for Nova Hahahahahah

— Mr. Pizza Man (@APizzafulMind) April 5, 2016

Yooo TruTV announcers are sooooo biased towards rooting for Nova and I love it hahaha ?

— TRAVIS POSTON (@TravisPoston) April 5, 2016

@truTV championship game announcers are TERRIBLE. Extremely Nova biased

OMG this comment on our Hubert Davis post. People don't know about the Team Stream concept https://t.co/OkQ3aBNxaK pic.twitter.com/kHyccb4K1W

— Larry Brown (@LBSports) April 5, 2016

Maybe TNT/truTV needs to do better next year at informing fans they are watching a homer broadcast. You know, maybe have the announcers mention that every few minutes just to help because it’s obviously causing confusion.
