This is play-by-play?

We've had a lot of interesting discussions in the office about the Altitude radio and TV networks – the ones in which nothing disparaging is ever heard about the teams they supposedly cover.
So I guess it's fair game for the Nuggets radio voice (not Jerry Schemmel) to openly root for a player to foul out of the game against the Lakers the other night. And it's equally as fair for those folks to conveniently forget the fact that the Lakers played the night before and traveled to Denver early that morning.
Funny. Denver came off a long road trip and had one of those quick, turnaround games against Boston four days earlier. Boston waxed them, and all we heard was how the travel did in the home team. Baloney.
Tell us what happened. Criticize when it's appropriate. But stop being delusional in your praise of teams you are paid to cover. Most people can figure out when you're feeding us the company line.
