Nice, Thank You Chris Collinsworth!

[Skraxx]

Just said "Let's get this out of the way, I stand behind the players 100%, they are trying to bring change to this country that is long overdue..." . No equivocation, no apology, it was strong and sincere. NFL Thursday Night Football. Well done Chris, thanks.

1. and it starts with The CHIEFS

I love them

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. The Chiefs, you say?

[lastlib]

17. The defending SUPER BOWL CHAMPION Chiefs!!

--- --- ---

[WhiskeyGrinder]

18. What's the name of the team?

[dem4decades]

2. I always thought he was a right wing whore.

[Solomon]

6. He is.

I was not impressed. It was condescending to me. And I'm disappointed in the players. They could have made a real statement tonight. Instead they placated. The unity thing was bullshit. One team in the locker room, one on the field. They should have all knelt.

Then the fans started up with that tomahawk chant shit. I was so disgusted I changed the channel.

Flame away. I don't fucking care.

[USALiberal]

8. LOL, ok! nt

[GulfCoast66]

16. No pleasing some folks. And that's ok.

[BeyondGeography]

3. He's a 70s dude who keeps the torch burning

[Blue_true]

4. He has always been pretty consistent about seeing the logic behind social justice

efforts.

[Awsi Dooger]

5. As Al Michaels no doubt seethed inside

Although he may have pretended otherwise on air

[a kennedy]

9. Now he's the piece of shit I don't like.

[Generic Brad]

12. His silence was notable

[Yeehah]

21. Yep, Al Michaels is a POS through and through

He loved it when his buddy Rush Limbaugh was on the show.

[BadgerMom]

7. I'm super pleased by this but,...

…isn’t it sorta sad that such a small statement makes us grateful?

[BannonsLiver]

11. Too bad the most foaming at the mouth right wing nut job fan base in pro sports booed the players.

Chiefs fans are in a league of their own when it comes to classlessness. That and their gross headdresses and war paint they wear to the games.

[mtnsnake]

13. Politics aside, I can't listen to the sound of Collinsworth's voice for more than one second

for fear that the sound of it could send me into convulsions.

He has some kind of rare nasal and whiny sounding, homely voice that gets me reaching for the mute button the instant he opens his mouth, it's that bad.

[Delarage]

14. I like Collinsworth

I'm a Steelers fan and I have Steelers & Eagle-fan friends who swear he's "biased" against the Steelers/Eagles. I've never picked up on it. I find him to be extremely knowledgeable and funny.

I can't stand Tony Romo, however. He annoys the crap out of me. But I digress.

[Yeehah]

20. I'm a Steelers fan too and I've come to enjoy Romo.

I wish he would shut up from time to time but I enjoy his commentary. He really doesn't seem too full of himself.

I've never liked Collinsworth as a commentator and I think he hates the Steelers, but his stock just rose with that very good comment.

[Delarage]

22. Romo

DEFINITELY talks too much---and kind of says things both ways, like "This would be a great time for a run right up the middle, or, (as the ball is snapped) they could go deep and try to surprise the Ravens" or whatever. Then, whatever happens, he can look like he knew what was going to happen. He was a crappy quarterback and even his voice gets on my nerves for some reason.

But different strokes for different folks. I'd still say Collinsworth (even though he was a Bengal) is much better. Extremely knowledgeable b/c of his side gig of putting together all kinds of stats. I also saw a "Football Life" thing about him and decided that he's a good guy. And I like when he says "Holy Smokes!" for some reason.

I used to like Phil Simms, too, but a lot of people didn't. I could be the oddball here.....

[Gilbert Moore]

15. Where was he when Colin took the knee ?

Just wondering ? Nothing wrong with being late to a bandwagon as long as you show up.

[Yeehah]

19. Holy cow, I just became a Chris Collinsworth fan

after ragging on him for years.

[IowaGuy]

23. Not impressed....

Chris Collinsworth is just regurgitating what his NFL and network overlords perceive to be the proper marketing message at this point in time. He knows where his bread is buttered. He is no winter soldier.
Message....OK.
Messenger....MEH!
