CHRIS COLLINSWORTH
 
Is it my imagination or does Collinsworth have something against The Saints. It seems like he put the team down any chance he could and it killed him to say anything positive. At the end of the game when Drew was pushing for the comeback Collinsworth finally broke down and said some positive things. I guess he was trying to cover himself just in case we made it to OT.

Also Collinsworth has a striking resemblance to Mike Wolfe from American Pickers. He also has the same high pitched laugh and does the same schoolgirl jokes on Simms just like Wolfe does to his little chubby partner Fritz. The only difference is that one is an American Picker and the Broadcast Boy is a Nose Picker. (cleaned up version)

It isn't your imagination.

It doesn't help that he is a whiner.

He's a douchebucket. Florida Gator. What do you expect...
He got his degree in accounting. He's a nerd.

Beastmode 09-09-2011 01:15 AM

I think he was pretty dead on. GB was up most of the game by a couple of scores and let's face it, there really wasn't much to talk about Saints wise, I can only think of one time they stopped Rodgers. His receivers were wide open.

Choupique 09-09-2011 01:17 AM

I think he is a nasily, whiney ickabod squirrel who'll never wear a ring and never be in the HOF.

He just has a mike in his face.

SapperSaint 09-09-2011 08:10 AM

Yes, Chris Collinsworth has a special hatred for the New Orleans Saints. He makes no attempt to hide this fact from any broadcast he calls involving the Saints. He's a ***** and I hope he catches the clap.

In case you can't tell, I hate Chris Collinsworth.

pinch 09-09-2011 08:13 AM

I used to hate Collinsworth but he was calling it like he saw it last night. The final score wasn't indicative of how bad we looked. We were outplayed and out-coached last night. The fact that we had a chance to tie it late was a complete miracle and mirage.

SapperSaint 09-09-2011 08:15 AM

Trust me, my opinion for Chris Collinsworth is not based on last night.

It goes all the way back when I used to have HBO.

Euphoria 09-09-2011 08:17 AM

What we are going to bash Obama next for us losing?

cmike 09-09-2011 08:17 AM

I thought he wad doing his job. He called the game the way we all saw it.

I'm not blaming him for the loss. I just hate Chris Collinsworth as much as he hates the Saints.

Ashley 09-09-2011 08:21 AM

I'm with the hatters on Collinsworth, never have I liked anything this dink has too say. But I can't blame him, we were just not anywhere near ready for GB last night.

Euphoria 09-09-2011 08:26 AM

The last I checked people are allowed to hate... I don't lose any sleep over anyone hating on my team.

SapperSaint 09-09-2011 08:39 AM

Here's my point.....

I am 100% for freedom of speech and thought. However, when you are suppose to be a "NON BIASED" commentator and every chance you can make your distaste for another team apparent......I have a problem with that. Do I get heartburn listening to him...No. Do I stop watching a game just because he calls it....NO. I feel the same way about Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreet reguarding LSU.

Now, Does Collinsworth call a good game? Yes, he explains plays, great at bringing emotion to the viewers. I just don't like when he calls a Saints game.

Yes, I understand the commentators, sports casters all the way down to the poor guys that run the cables for the camera crew; are fans of a particular team. I feel, that when you are on the National stage you should show a bit of reserve is your Fandom.

To me it seems as if he will make a point (with the Saints) to keep turning the knife after it has been buried up to the handle.

Euphoria 09-09-2011 08:43 AM

Why does everyone thing they need to be NON-BIASED. They don't have to be they are allowed to like a team and have a favorite. There is no law saying they have to be Non-Biased.

The only non biased person you are going to find is someone who isn't a fan of football and even then they may show fav's based on where they are from or who there Dad like.

The way we played D... we deserved every bit of bashing we got.

Announcers and analyst announce who their favorite teams are every day on ESPN and other channels. Terry Bradshaw is a Saints fan and doesn't hide that fact.

SapperSaint 09-09-2011 08:48 AM

I see your point Euph.

I don't want to argue.

I still hate Chris Collinsworth, like I hate picking up trash after a dog tears it up and scatters it across my yard.

LOL,
See nothing wrong hating just to hate. Some people just don't like someone for no reason sometimes and nothing one can do about that.

Now that I think about it, I can remember at least a couple of times early in the game (when GB was scoring on every drive) where Collinsworth said not to count us about because if there was any team who could answer it was us.

You just can't fault the guy for giving props to a team was scored 4 TDs on their first 5 possessions. I don't see how you sugar-coat that, even if you're a Saints homer.

strato 09-09-2011 09:05 AM

He wasn't that bad..i thought he was fair..better than Aikman and Buck..or Billick..

cajun911 09-09-2011 09:08 AM

I been thinking he's a bit of a tool for a few years now.

jeanpierre 09-09-2011 09:09 AM

We should hang 'em in effigy

NOS2SB 09-09-2011 09:12 AM

It's your imagination. If the Packers were losing he would have been pointing out the reasons they were losing. That's essentially what he was doing with the Saints.

RaginCajun83 09-09-2011 09:13 AM

At least he wasn't as bad as Deirdoff back in 09 when the Saints played the Jets. I really thought Sanchez and him had a date set up after the game

If it makes you feel any better, when I was going through my Collinsworth hating stage my nickname for him was 'The White Grace Jones'.

bbourque5 09-09-2011 09:46 AM

I don't like or dislike Collinsworth, but he did make one stupid comment last night. Before the saints did the onside, he said that it would probably be better just to go ahead and kick it off to Green Bay. I don't know if he was just trying to throw it out there that they had another option, but no way do we just kick it off to Green Bay in that situation. We only stopped them on two drives the entire game. Yea, we went on to stop them on that drive, but the odds were not in our favor when you look at the game as a whole.

JoanieNTX 09-09-2011 10:03 AM

Well, here's my two cents for what it's worth. I DETEST COLLINSWORTH! As far as I'm concerned, he's "worth-less!" I have never liked him. He always has that pukey little smirk on his ugly mug, and he has never liked the Saints. I tune him out every chance I get. I keep wondering how he keeps getting renewed every season as an announcer. ??? Anyway, I detest Aikman, too. Give me Al Michaels and Jon Gruden, and I'm a happy camper!!!

Luda34 09-09-2011 10:43 AM

I HATE THAT GUY SO MUCH.

Choupique 09-09-2011 01:53 PM

I think Collingsworthless is an idiot.

There isn't much that will change my opinion unless he quits acting like a (_!_)head.

I'm not holding my breath.

I HATE Collinsworth (& he played high school ball 20 miles down the rad from me)

He is a PENCIL NECK GEEK who thinks he is all that & a bag of chips when he is really just a complet ASS C--K!! :dunce:

AlaskaSaints 09-10-2011 11:09 AM

He was SPOT ON with his comment that the Saints looked tentative, not in it.

Remember, we rested our starters in Pre-game 4. Our receivers had two weeks off and it showed in the first series. Meachem drop, Colston fumble.

He says some decent things and some idiotic things ... I just can't stand the tone of his voice it is very annoying.

He reminds me of a rugby team mate who never has anything positive to say and is full of snyde remarks.

Is that the dude that is always at the bottom of the pile?...lol...

mikesaintfan 09-14-2011 12:24 PM

C.C. is a TOOL...I hate him...he talks as if he is a hall of famer and is much better than anyone on the field...

FinSaint 09-14-2011 12:46 PM

I don't like him at all, but I don't hate him either.

I do think that when a football game is marketed as the "America's game" and is a nationally broadcast event, the broadcasters should take care to be as unbiased as possible. I don't think that is a problem with the local broadcasts, like the Saints' games on the CST, because that's what the majority of the viewers are expecting - favoritism from the local crew.

One thing that stood out to me during that game was when Collinsworth referred to Charles Brown as a "big TE" and not as a tackle, which to me shows some lack of preparation.

All in all, I think Michaels makes him more bearable than he would otherwise be. And I agree completely with him sucking on HBO... he was one of the reasons I stopped watching that particular show.
