Aikman is like 10 times worse. He is irritating in every possible manner. I hate his voice, he gives no insights, he doesn't prepare for games and he says "ball game" like hundred times a game. But it is obviously very subjective. Edited December 14, 2020 by No_Matter_What 1 1
wjag Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Chris was fine last night. People hear what they want to hear. All I heard was JA this, JA that. All America heard was JA is good. 6

Not knowing that Toronto is 100 miles from Buffalo???🙄😡 Cogsworth was soooooo pulling for gentle Ben and the Steelers. Allen and company forced him to change his narrative.
Just in Atlanta Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Did anyone catch it when Collinsworth said a Steelers defensive lineman was “getting double teamed and pounded all night”? My wife heard it from the next room and burst out giggling.

MiltonWaddams Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 I guess the Minolta tower was the CN Tower to him. I still took all his praise Of Josh with a grain (large sack?) of salt because PFF. 1

To be clear, I don't like Aikman either but find I can tune him out. Collingsworth screeches like a bad motor with a predictable cliches and platitudes.

They must have been as angry as I was when the announcers wouldn't shut up about Murray when we played the Cards The fact that so many get so upset when commentators don't think the way they do is rather pathetic. 1

Did anyone else catch when he was comparing the current Bills to when they had Brady? He thought he was covering the Patriots! Easy mistake for an old guy I guess because the red uniforms do kind of look like the old Pats uniforms. He is also taking over for Joe Thiesmann. I used to tell him to shut up constantly too. I don't know what was up with him. He also called a QB run by Josh a throw. I'm like...ok he misspoke. But then capped it off with calling it a completion coming back on the holding flag.

It’s around 100 on the Queen E Way, of course ... Edited December 14, 2020 by dave mcbride
Thurman#1 Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 After Romo, Collinsworth. There are one or two others who are close, but those two are the best.

Yeah, 59, I was thinking of Niagara Falls, which is around 30.
eball Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 I was pleasantly surprised by Collinsworth in the 2nd half. Perhaps it is simply that in general I'm not a fan of announcers who effusively praise players and I'm not used to the Bills being the subject of such praise. LOL 1
Plano Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 Why was Collinsworth talking abut Brady all game?

I'm not sure you actually understood his comparison. When he was making that reference, he was comparing JA and Beasley with how Brady always had his over the top receiver (Diggs or Brown for JA) but always had an underneath receiver that was always open for him like Beasley is for Josh. while I am not a Chris Collinsworth fan... he is annoying to listen to because 9 times out of 10 he's always talking about a supposed "special" player like he gets to suck him off after the game if he talks him up enough; he wasn't half bad last night.

On clear day you can see Toronto from there?
