Jesse Palmer receives Golden Bachelor backlash during ESPN broadcast of Auburn at LSU

Jesse Palmer is splitting duties this fall between ABC’s “Golden Bachelor” and college football broadcasts. During the Auburn at LSU game on ESPN, Palmer was criticized for his analysis.

LSU jumped out to a big lead, 17-0, before Auburn cut into the deficit as the halftime score was 20-7. LSU rang up more than 300 yards of offense, while Auburn mustered just over 100 in total yards, including less than 50 yards of passing.

Fans of both Auburn and LSU struggled to enjoy Palmer as they each described him as either biased or annoying. On one play, multiple people pointed out that Palmer described an impossible catch also a catch that a receiver needed to make.

Like other broadcaster criticisms, Palmer was compared to Gary Danielson, Beth Mowins and Robert Griffin III.

Here’s a sample of the reaction:

Jesse Palmer needs to stick to The Bachelor. #GeauxTigers

Jesse Palmer just said that an impossible catch was a catch a receiver needed to make. This guy blows.

Jesse Palmer: “Look, that’s a ball the receiver has to go get.”

Jesse Palmer has made some decent observations, but I can’t listen to him after watching him in the last few weeks on the Golden Bachelor. Stick to hyping Gerry, Jesse. #GoldenBachelor #Auburn

Not enough credit going to Jesse Palmer. Mans handling the ins and outs of 70 year old love then analyzing 19-20 year olds playing football. That’s range.

Jesse Palmer hates LSU so much???

Could you imagine Jesse Palmer and RGIII covering the same game?

Can Jesse Palmer just stop talking so much?? Is he Gary Danielson’s long lost child??
This game is painful enough.#wareagle#auburntigers
