Collinsworth

Do you guys not realize that the NFL is a business? Andrew Luck is the biggest story in the NFL right now. Nobody watching that game except Steelers fans want to hear about anybody but Andrew Luck. Yeah, we would love to hear the announcers go on and on about how Rainey is doing or how great of a QB Big Ben is, but there are other audiences watching the game. I'm not Collinsworth's biggest fan either, but he's just doing his job.

Now give me Simms and Nantz during a Ravens game, then we've got something complaint worthy.

I love watching Collinsworth nothing compares to his expression everytime he has to say something good about the Steelers

I don't mind Collinsworth. I can't stand Simms. Aikman is ok.

I have no problem with Chris, he joked about how the Steeler fans don't like him, the Ben thing was a simple mistake, I believe he what he meant was not many rookie QB's will have a record like Ben did. Luck is the story of the preseason.

Did you hear Hines say "we" when talking about the Steelers and Wallace? hahahha

Yea, Cris was taking really subtle cheap shots at the Steelers in general. Especially Hines with the blocking, it just wasn't very funny if that's what he was going for. He's just a douche I guess, thinking he knows everything. WHATEVER THOUGH!

I thought it was an informal practice to label players as "rookies" for their first two years? I could me mistaken.

I will never understand why people cry about sports announcers so much. For the most part they're just washed up jocks that can talk, not exactly rocket scientists.

i tend to believe Collinsworth should be flushed like all the other crap. The biggest story I whitnessed was the replacement refs are just as crappy as the regulars, no more no less they all suck. Still love Hines but if he wants to survive he still needs to stop the crappy dancing on tv and get an attitude!!!

Collinsworth is the best of the best as voted by his peers a few years ago. He's my favorite color guy. He has a unique sense of humor and he praises the Steelers more than you think. Simms is pretty good too. I can't stand Dierdorf.

So far Hines has been much better than Bettis. Jerome just looked uncomfortable from day one and never got better.
