[edit] RE: Anti Mid-Major Bias
This section is basically a cut-and-paste job of the section in Billy Packer, and as a result does a bit of injustice to Nantz. I'm not sure Nantz has "made sports headlines" all that often, and Nantz wasn't nearly as vitriolic or high-profile as Packer in bashing the MVC or George Mason. Nantz isn't as much of a controversial figure as Packer or Brent Musberger, but this section (especially its title) makes him look like a frothing opinionated ranter. The controversy should arguably be commented on in the article, but he shouldn't be specifically called out. (In fact, the article is more NPOV on the Packer page in general - whereas this page says Nantz and Packer were "the only members of the media" to call out the MVC and George Mason, Packer's article only says that they were "the most prominent, and most vocal, to do so".)

- First, I changed Nantz's page to the more NPOV comment at the end. However, I think that Nantz was about on par with Packer - him cutting off Littlepage as he was congratulating the field at the end (and calling out GM for playing and beating Wichita State in the Bracket Busters, as if that was a bad thing) was probably the most outrageous part of the whole interview. zellin t / c 16:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Well, Wikipedia isn't here to report what you think, because it considers that sort of thing POV. I happen to disagree with that characterization, and I suspect most people do as well. But let's get opinions from other people before making any snap judgements. Morgan Wick 20:37, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
- Sure, it is what I think, but there is no doubt that some of the most outrageous and disrespectful comments came from Nantz, and Nantz was the one saying throughout the torunament that "some" members of the media criticized the selection of GM. I agree that saying Nantz was on par with Packer is an opinion, but the controversy surely deserves a mention on both articles, as both were at least partially propagating it. zellin t / c 05:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Well, my point is that it probably shouldn't be the exact same mention, but I don't know how we should mention it until we hear from some other people. Morgan Wick 05:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] jewish?
I don't think he is, after all he is the III. Typically, jews do not name themselves after living people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Levineps (talk • contribs) 04:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC).
- I believe Nantz is married to a Jewish woman, but that doesn't make him Jewish himself, does it? Mdumas43073 01:50, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Simms
Where are the sources that Nantz and Simms have an acrimonious relationship? [05:20, 15 June 2007 68.196.166.240]
- There weren't any. I removed it a while ago. Typical Wikipedia idiocy. Wasted Time R 02:11, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jim Nantz.jpg
Image:Jim Nantz.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] quotes
Some of the quotes in that section seem rather phony. Can they be verified? I know truth is stranger than fiction, but... 199.8.239.177 (talk) 00:20, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
