Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

I don't know how many of you have heard about this 25 year old video about Collinsworth but seriously you have to see it to believe it.

Still I miss the 80's. Also for anyone wondering the quote is taken out of context and suspiciously cut off but still it's kind of funny. Plus I felt a little left out not getting a chance to make a "disappointment" thread since offense and defense were already taken so it was between this and the training staff.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

Truly a disappointing "broadcaster." I know of no fan that actually thinks highly of him. I don't how how he manages to get a job sitting next to Al "The Great" Michaels.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

Lmao, that's hilarious.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

He's being facetious regarding the underage girls... Can you imagine anyone saying such a thing today, though?

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

He borders on un-watchable. He's much more critical than I prefer analysts to be. Just analyze, don't MMQB every single play and ride your high horse for 3 hours.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

It was sad hearing Collinsworth blame Chicago's receivers for every interception that Cutler threw. This guy is tolerable in small doses, anything more he becomes unbearable.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

He's not as bad as Madden...

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

idk i thought he did a pretty good job during the steelers - titans game.

go skins!!

"That's what I love about these high school girls, Al Michaels. I get creepier, they stay the saaaame age..."

I don't think theres a great announcer in American Football. No one that really makes or breaks weather you watch a game. There are a few that will make you press the mute button but those are few and far between. The one's that really annoy me are those patronizing local sports shows that make big deals out of everything. You would have thought that Auburn had a shot at the national title after beating Northwestern Southcentral Louisina District 1 college.

Baseball has Jon Miller. And Soccer....well soccer has this guy named Ray Hudson who goes absolutely nuts with his metaphors. My friends and I like to sit around sometime and come up with our own Ray Hudson lines.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

Its a matter of personal opinion,I like his broadcasting better than Madden,some people think madden was great,I didnt
And I see nothing wrong with what he said,most of it was tongue in cheek and if you watch till the end he doesnt say he has anything to do with young girls,just that from 14-18 they think hes great,once they hit 18 they know better,he was actually cutting himself down

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

That is gold!

LOL...I thought Colinsworth looked exactly like MM in Dazed and Confused when I was watching the clip.

So hilarious and so very indictable...that's what makes it funny.

That is exactly what I was thinking! Awesome.

I can't agree more.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

As much as it pains me to say it, IMO Troy Aikman and Moose are the best NFL announcers at the moment. Aikman has always given us favorable coverage so has D.J.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

Agree with Aikman but definitely not Moose.

I don't know what telecast you watch but I actually mute it when Troy or Moose do the games...Horrible! They are slow to react to the action!
I sometimes wish we were in the AFC as the commentators are more in depth and emotional! Not an android!!!! I have the direct ticket and I see every Sundy better delivered games. Joe dumb F**K Buck can stick to baseball where you can talk about boring humdrum things during he breaks in action. Collinsworth is average...sometimes he gets on my nerves but I cane handle him in doses.

just my opinion!

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

I don't know anything about Cris Collinsworth's predilections [and I don't want to know], but I think he's a good NFL analyst and a big improvement over Madden, who was, by far, the most overrated broadcaster in the history of overrated broadcasters.

Re: Cris Collinsworth = Disappointment
 

Personally I like Collinsworth. He does get annoying at times but he's well spoken and knows what he's talking about.

And I'm surprised to read all the negative comments about Madden. Maybe he tailed a bit in the later years but the guy is a legend. I'm almost 40 and I find it hard to believe anyone around my age wouldn't have tons of respect for Madden. I mean the guy had the best football video game named after him. Not a player or coach but an ANNOUNCER?? Just shows what an integral role Madden played in the football world.

And the best announcer on tv today?? Troy Aikman. Not even close.

I think that young bucks only experienced the going-down-hill-to-senility Madden. He was not the same in recent years.

But I agree with you. In the 80's and 90's, no one was better at color announcing than Madden.
