Ugh - a retread and an anti-West Coast second-rate color commentator. 

I think you're confusing Jesse Palmer with that other ESPN haircut, David Pollack, who is an $EC homer and does a lot of Stanford and Pac-12 bashing. Palmer has been a lot more sanguine and complimentary when doing our games....at least the ones I've heard.

No confusion.  Palmer is Pollack light AFAIC.  I've not heard him much this year due to attending 9 of the 14 games in person, but when I've heard him do Stanford games he is not nearly as complementary as he is of the opponent.  And when he gets interviewed on the ESPN shows he is far more effusive about other Power 5 conferences than he is about the Pac-12, but that's my opinion the fact base may have changed some this year.  People can evolve :)
