Mort Hendrickson Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Chris Collinsworth, you absolute hack, egomaniacal douche. He has mentioned the Vikings faking "Smoke screens" at least 5-6 times during the 1st of the Saints game. I be he thinks he is real clever calling a fake screen pass a "Smoke Screen." WTF, when did he get carte blanche to start coming up with his own football terminology??? I find Collinsworth to be one of the absolute worst color commentators in Football and somehow he is the #2 guy in the booth for NBC. Poor choice Even worse is that I have never heard Collinsworth have a positive thing to say about Buffalo or the Bills. Screw him, I can't stand Collinsworth, he sucked as a player too, but if you asked him, he tell you he deserves to be in the HOF.
Simon Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 While Colinsworth may be a jackass, he didn't make up smoke screen. It is a play, often called at the LOS on a sight adjustment.

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 But he's perfect for NBC. :smarmy:
FluffHead Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 the smoke screen is a play. you CAN fake the smoke screen.
Benjamin Barker Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) lol great post Mort, I was thinking the exact same thing. Every season there are certain terms that catch on, and the announcers start going to them over and over again. Things like "chunk play" and "sugar huddle" come to mind.
