Are you insane!!!

By the way those players are so stupid that they decided to STAND for God Save Th Queen. Hmm guess they are not informed about all the atrocities the Brits committed over the years, including to my family in Ireland.

I guess I'm burnt out of every matter on earth being politicalized. Yes, I disagree with the disrespect. I never thought this thread would come to this. Very sad.

I got a crazy idea!

How about none ...i mean none of the TV stations even air the nation anthem anymore.

Just wait and go live right at kick off.

Why not simply remove the National Anthem from sporting events? Let's keep politics out of sports. Do we not have a National Holiday to celebrate our country?

Playing the anthem before sporting events is a load of shit. We don't stand for the Anthem in our homes, nor do we listen to it prior to concerts, plays or movies.

Get rid of it.

The NFL has been trying to militarize its product and make it into America's unofficial religion for years now. The inherent violence of the sport makes it a perfect representation of this country anyway.

Collinsworth has been paired with Michaels for YEARS. I think they're a damn solid broadcasting duo.

I understand youngsters do not have much perspective, as they have not been around long, but they are not a solid duo, there has been much better, they can do much better.

From the start Collingsdork has felt like an interim guy, until they find a real broadcaster...

Al is great, Collingsneck is not. He is over due being replaced.

Collingsworth is unacceptable as broadcaster for many reasons: I will list a few-

His voice is annoying.

Knowledge of game tries to make you think he knows what the players are thinking.

He really thinks people want to hear his crappy dialog.

Also, he thinks his role is a referee as well.

Not good-

I have to agree with you on this one not trolling!

Cris Collinsworth is cool! Give him a break! He probably reads this thread.. And I did take back all the stuff I said about Boomer last year. Enjoy your thread, football fans! I'd tell you who's gonna win the Super Bowl but I'm keeping it to myself.

Agreed on all points. If I had never seen a good color commentator, I might not know there could be better.... but I want someone in that position telling me something that is not obvious... I can see the game, bad calls, fumbles on my own... a color commentator should tell me other things besides "THAT WAS A GOOD CALL". Chris Captainobviousworthless adds nothing to the broadcast.


I love Al Michaels, great vocie, great insights... over all great, BUT... Al needs a better partner and I do not mean someone like Dennis Miller again... oh man... those were some weird games when he was in the booth.


I tuned in last night for that lame match up, but between the boring game and Collingskreeetchyvoice it was not much fun... they need better matchups on prime time games... or who cares besides home town fans.

Dennis miller... it is like a dream... I had to check to see if I imagined that ...

But sure enough, it was real.

e.g.
On Patriots RB J.R. REDMOND coming off “minor groin surgery”: “I'm not sure there is such a thing as minor groin surgery. Anybody who has a sharp instrument around my genitalia, I'm thinking it's major.”

Phil SImms was GREAT color man.

Football on... now

Ah, the smug condescension oozing from your post...

If you consider a 39 year old a "youngster", I'll surely take it. I'm sure I'm exceedingly young compared to some of you fossils.

Jerry Jones joined the entire Cowboys team by kneeling during the pre-game ceremony. See, the current WH occupant IS a uniter...he's united the entire @#$%& NFL and NBA against him.

At least he has the NASCAR crowd.

Good to see Jerry leading the protest against police killing too many people. I wonder what his next step will be?

I wonder how Jerry's police buddies will feel about him stepping up against them.

Agreed. With respect to the NFL, in general, - Summerall & Madden were the best ever!

Always enjoyed the MNF broadcasts with Howard Cosell, Dandy Don Meredith and Frank Gifford..
Howard is also credited with coming up with the line "he could go all the way".. long before it became Chris Berman's signature line..

He also broke the news to millions (myself included) of Lennon's death..

"Yes, we have to say it. Remember this is just a football game, no matter who wins or loses. An unspeakable tragedy confirmed to us by ABC News in New York City: John Lennon, outside of his apartment building on the West Side of New York City, the most famous, perhaps, of all of The Beatles, shot twice in the back, rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, dead on arrival. Hard to go back to the game after that news flash, which in duty bound, we have to take." ”

Eloquent, simple words. Such a nightmarish, pointless act of violence.

Hats off the the Dallas Cowboys and Jerry Jones.

They stood united. Took a knee.

And then stood as a team for the National Anthem

Made their point for both sides.

Jerry is hard to take on a lot of things.

But he deserves a lot of respect for recognizing both sides.

As far as announcers go, I like Troy Aikman with Joe Buck. I know a lot of people aren't fans of Buck's.

The side which says police killing too many innocent people is OK is the wrong side.

Kaepernick started these protests, and I quote, "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."

For some reason the media is ignoring the purpose of the protests and only talking about the concept of protesting...

I wish John would come back, he was great! He would give insight in to the game which I did not know.


I like Troy Aikman, but Joe Bucks deadpan delivery makes it seem like he doesnt really want to be there... more like he would rather be watching/commentating about reality TV. And buck, like collingsworthless, adds very little to the broadcast, both are captain obvious.

Joe Buck is terrible. I've listened to interviews with him and he seems like a cool guy with a good sense of humor, but his actual announcing is lifeless and bland.
