billybrew1 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Must be a tough job, I can recall only liking Romo.... Simms..... I dunno... they fade away.... I just know I didn't like most. Howard Cosell doing MNF half-time highlights. Chris Berman And Tom Jackson..... Is that it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I pay less attention to announcers than most people. The only one I really despise is a certain Booger who is rarely correct and staunchly defended the crack back block penalty call against the Bills in the playoffs. Yes, the same call the NFL later apologized for. . Edited December 3, 2021 by Augie 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never crossed a picket and always has had issues with those who dd that padded their stats. I don't mind when Chris has told them off and has outright shown a lot of courage in staring them down. I don't think they really thought he'd still carry that grudge and intensity that's good to see. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 (edited) Collinsworhless is a lazy analyst who doesn't do his homework. He rarely has up to date info beyond the injuries and inactive lists, so he falls back on "common wisdom", spouting opinions that may have been relevant a year or two ago, but not current.

Captain_Quint Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 48 minutes ago, SMAKCruiser said: I actually do not mind him. There are worse color guys around... I agree. His biggest problem is that he sticks to his agenda way past the point that he should. So even if a big market team is losing or playing bad, he stays with the "this is their game to lose" shtick.

Estro Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I'm not a huge fan of his as an announcer. He's always got that half baked, giggly demeanor, and never really says anything that's the least bit interesting or outside the box. Aikman and Buck are awful The MNF crew are unlistenable It's kinda crazy how many bad announcers make obscene dough. I feel like most are totally replaceable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I like Collinsworth. He is second best to Romo. I'm not even sure why this board doesn't like him. He talks about the city and the fans with great reverence. He is a good analyst. I think why fans don't like him is that he doesn't prop up bad teams with BS. He praises the winners and the good teams more than the losers. When the Bills were losers there wasn't much good to say about the team. Now that they win he comments on their good play just as much s anyone. He also does a good job calling out the OL and DL play. 2 hours ago, 2020 Our Year For Sure said: I think Buck is a quality broadcaster but Aikman is the pits. Buck is terrible calling NFL. I think he is excellent at baseball. Aikman is hit and miss. He makes some good points and then there are times he can't even form a sentence. Very painful to listen to the two of them. They are the worst of the network lead teams. Al Michaels is a bit full of himself at times. But he has the track record to back it up. He gets a bit verbose at times but it's tolerable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Mr. WEO said: If only TVs had volume buttons..... But for those who still want to hear the sounds of the game / crowd? The ESPN app had a feed of Wimbledon matches several years ago where there were no commentators. Just the little score ticker and relevant graphics that came up. It was wonderful not having someone all up in your ear and trying to control your thoughts. It was like you were just another spectator at a match and just watch it in peace. Would that they could enable that for sports broadcasts. The Next-Gen-TV / ATSC 3.0 for over the air broadcasting has a number of features including for audio. Wonder if that could be an option.

Gugny Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I'm not a huge Collinsworth fan, but I'd rather have him read me bedtime stories every night until I die, than to listen to Steve Levy inexplicably scream into the microphone alongside the other MNF crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate him equally as much when I listen to him with other teams. He is unwilling to budge on his opinions even when the exact game he is commentating gives evidence to the contrary. He'll heap praise on certain players in the league even as they are playing terribly and hurting their teams. I find him incredibly biased and incredibly annoying. I hate the sound of his voice. He does break down plays well and he provides good analysis, but as soon as he opens his mouth with an opinion (which is 90% of the time) it is cringe worthy. And he has only gotten worse as he has gotten older. It's obvious he doesn't do the homework that he used to and he relies on old, outdated knowledge on players, coaches, etc. There are TONS of fans who hate him, regardless of what team they root for. It's a real thing. It isn't just Bills fans. There are also some who like him, though. He is polarizing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Call me crazy, but I'm usually too busy actually watching the game and talking with my friends to focus on finding things to B word about with the commentary.

Yea Collinsworth is a bit of a ball licker, fine, but in terms of breaking down a play that has just happened with why it happened he is the best in the business. I honestly do not understand the hate he gets. Give me him over Tony "I'm just gonna go really higgggghhhhhh now Jim" Romo and Troy "sorry am am I still awake?" Aikman any day of any week. 7 hours ago, MiltonWaddams said: Brees should have that gig. He and Tirico were superb last week. It’s all relative….but I was a fan of that crew. Tirico should 100% have one of the 3 main announcing gigs. When he did ESPN with Gruden I thought he was hands down the best play by play guy of the big networks. Drew was okay on Thanksgiving. I wouldn't be against promoting him in to a more prominent spot. I still want more Matt Millen though. Still hands down the best announce job of the season on Dolphins - Bills.
