Agreed. I never understood the intense hate for this man. Is he the all time best? No, but who is? Everybody has an opinion. Some people love Romo. Some people think Madden/Summerall was the standard. Who knows?
As noted, Collingsworth knows football and he picks up on things I didn't see and I appreciate that. Can he go on about "a guy"? Sure, but that's just his style. There are FAR WORSE out there.
