Chris Colinsworth

[RJK]

just accept that the NFL will never give carolina it's props because of market size. If it was up to the NFL it would be the nfc east playing the patriots or steelers every game

[Khaki Lackey]

Dude is the worst. Every game he always finds a way to bring up ODB. 

Other than the one time he said, "Oh baby I like it raaaawwwww!" I didn't hear him bring up Ol' Dirty Bastard once.

[DaveThePanther2008]

really?  I heard him talk about how great Cam is, how great our OGs are, how great it is to see Stewart pound it up the middle and carry the pile for 5 yards, how we are winning with no name WRs, etc, etc, etc.

maybe that's just because I have a positive outlook, though, and that's what stands out to me.

AFTER THE FUNCHESS INTERCEPTION.  Truthfully, I don't have an issue with many announcers.  I was just getting sick of the Get a two first down and the defense is going to be gassed routine.

I do feel he was hoping the Eagles were going to get going and take over the game.

Collinsworth is one of the most pompous-egomaniacs associated with the NFL.

he did give lots of props to the running game and Stewart, in-particular....or was that the other guy?

[Fox007]

He did sound pretty stupid trying to say our defense was tired....the Eagles only had us +3 minutes ToP....no one was fugin tired you idiot.

 

[CarolinaCoolin]

You know this guy is paid to talk up both teams right?

[Gregg S]

I just took what he was saying about getting 2 first downs as saying that is the philosophy behind the quick play offense that Philly runs.  In most cases, that would be a sound plan, but our defense is not most cases.  When it mattered most, our D stood up and got it done.

 

I actually thought he was fairly well-balanced in his comments for both teams.

Scene: 2005 Super Bowl in Detroit. Halftime - I'm in a long line for the bathroom. Turn around and Collinsworth is in line right behind me. 

Me: Chris! What's up man!

CC: Hey what's up? You enjoying the game?

Me: I am. But I wished my Panthers would have beaten the Hawks and were playing. 

CC: Oh you're a Panthers fan?

Me: Sure am. Keep an eye on us next year. We're gonna be tough. 

CC (laughing): Yeah....not a chance.

I couldnt even stand him when he played and we didnt have to listen to him...  Ol' chicken neck...  

[Khyber53]

.... and how long did they go on and on about the "cap" issues ......  it was really, really bad last night.  BUT at the end all that matters is that we won and that we are 6-0

Actually, I think their discussion of the cap issue and how it pertained to Chip's team building was pretty interesting. It gave the whole crazy trades of the offseason thing a different perspective for me. What Chip did back then makes a whole lot more sense to me now.

I actually hated him when he was playing.  Couldn't stand the mere mention of his name.  Still not a fan of his, but that doesn't mean I won't give him credit when credit is due.

this finish to the OP's title of this post: 

Is a dick. 

 

Nuff said. 

[h0llywood]

For what it's worth, he has KK in the Pro Bowl 

[KB_fan]

From the interception off of Funchess hands, Colinsworth keeps on about that get two first down crap and how our defense is getting worn out. You can tell he is pulling for the Beagles to pull this out.

I want to jump through the TV and tell him to STFU.  Just finished end of 3rd Qtr and all he keeps talking about is how we are tired.

TD with a huge pop.

 

So true.  I was shaking my head.  Our "tired" defense kept playing lights out, making the hits and sacks, and keeping Philly from capitalizing on our turnovers.  If that's "tired," scary what they could do well rested!
