OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

Actually had decent things to say about the Saints! I was listening to espn tonight and he was a guest on someones show and was asked why the Saints have been so horrible on the road. He said that it was just happenstance and that the vibe and energy of new orleans and the party atmosphere and the passion of the crowd makes it almost not fair for teams that come in to play. He said of all the teams in the playoffs that New Orleans is the one that nobody wants to play because its a matter of time before the Saints can just break loose and start piling on the points. He said that this talk of us not being able to win on the road has gotten under the teams skin and he looks for them to break the trend.

Wow. im baffled

He was stoned, had to be. Sure it was Collinsworth? I'm baffled as well.

The Eagles will make history Saturday!

They will be the team that the Saints win their 1st ever road playoff against!

And to think I wasn't going to click on this, I just knew he was going to say something dumb..... Huh go figure

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

Collinsworth is one of the best there is

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

You know, we disagreed about this a few weeks ago, and I still can't stand him, but I really paid attention because we disagreed, so I listened during the Dallas game.

He had a good game, and you're right, he "sometimes" offers good insight, but I swear man, he's so cliche' sometimes, and I don't care for his delivery, and I don't like the way he looks either. :)

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

Yeah he's nasaly (let's pretend it's a word) he usually sounds like he's whining. I don't like listening to him.

He does know his stuff though which puts him ahead of most of his peers.

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

I can't like him I have tried....and failed

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

His voice is like a kitten on a hot griddle

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

One must admit he is better than most, even if his bias shines through here and there. It's amazing just how many clowns the networks employ as color commentators.

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

I've started to come around as well. Maybe I'm missing something but he always seems to give the Saints their due.

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

I don't get it either Pinch. He compliments both teams all throughout his broadcasts and gives interesting insight to a lot of topics.

I know his marlboro mouth delivery is annoying, but I'd say he's probably one of the top 3 analysts out there.

Maybe its the praise for our opponent that irritates people? I wonder if they know he's not a Saint's broadcaster?

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

I just wish he would just analyze the play and stop editorializing. He's also a 'bounty-bandwaggoner', so there's that, too.

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

I like Collinsworth despite the occasional cliche or really obvious observation. He seems like a good man.

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

is he calling the game?

the guy never shuts up and states the obvious

and states the obvious again and again and again...

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

Understood

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

Not even the rats give a rat's ass what he says.

Re: OMG Collinsworth!!!!
 

I don't think he is biased. He is quick to point out flaws and focus on the negatives of a team but he spreads it out pretty equally.
