So your problem is with the word "unbiased"?
un·bi·ased
/ˌənˈbīəst/
adjective
adjective: unbiased; adjective: unbiassed
showing no prejudice for or against something; impartial.
Based on that definition, I would challenge you to show me ONE person who is not at least somewhat biased. Being an unbiased member of the press does not mean that you can't also be a fan. It means that when you report on the game, that your report does not favor or detriment based on how you feel about it.
Example: I do rankings, I went to, and graduated from, Gordon High School. I am a Longhorn, through and through. But, when I do rankings, me being from Gordon has no bearing on the rankings. I don't give Gordon extra rating points, I don't take rating points away from Strawn. I am unbiased. That doesn't mean that I don't want Gordon to beat Strawn. It doesn't mean that I can't say that. But it does mean that I won't change my ratings, or rankings, based on how I feel.
Do you honestly think Cowboy is a fan of Trinidad? Why would he be? The only "bias" he might have had is wanting the team that he picked to win, to win.That doesn't make him biased, it makes him normal. I can promise you that Cowboy, along with myself, are both HUGE fans of Coach Satcher. Reason being, is because he has character and does it right. So, of course, we would like to see him succeed, which he has, and will continue to do so. Is Cowboy an Aquilla fan? Yes, he's from there. But show me a recap that he has done that reflects that. You can look long and hard, but you won't find one. That makes him unbiased. How about Jimmy Johnson, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Terry Bradshaw? Do you think they are unbiased? I would surely hope not. If you do, you are confused. Watch their pregame or postgame show, you will see that they are biased towards the team(s) that they were involved with. Same goes for 6man media people. Even more so because of the nature of it being a small tight-knit community.
Last point: You said it yourself. You are a Coolidge fan. So you are upset when they lose, elated when they win, etc.. You think your team can win, as you should. You wear your team colors with pride, and you support your boys, win or lose. You try to make all of their games, and you cheer them on. Good, that makes you a good fan. Cowboy doesn't make all of the Aquilla games, because he puts the game itself over the fandom of being from Aquilla. THAT makes him unbiased. You CAN be biased personally, and unbiased as a reporter/media outlet. Cowboy actually does a great job of differentiating between the two.
