    I wonder why? :lolol:

    The fun identical twins could pull off if they were so devious.

    I feel the Collinsworth of 15 years ago was much worse than he is today.... I actually don't mind him that much

    You don't make an NFL roster for 15 years (at CB no less) unless you can play. He was a good player.

    Yea I didn't care for him either. Too many mistakes on players names and he was stating the obvious way too much. At the end of the game when the Vikings were down 14 with like under3 minutes left he kept acting like the Vikings still had a legit chance to win the game saying how much scores they needed still among other stupid stuff when anybody who was watching the game knew the Vikings had no chance in hell of coming back and winning that game.

    One thing I will say though about all the "Oh if they do this they could come back..." type stuff is I really think the "suits" basically tell them to say that stuff because they desperately want to keep people from changing the channel. It's actually part of their job to try and keep the viewers engaged so they won't change it. Although I totally agree that they generally sound ridiculous in making it appear that there's still some semblance of a game going on.

    I know it can be overdone, but to some degree, it is his job to keep people watching the game, even when it is likely it is over. Isn't he very new to this? I never watched a game with him announcing before. He was very green, yes. But as a person, I always liked him, especially when compared to his jack flash brother, who tried to make it mainstream but the people hated.
