He's a biased little jerk with a bad voice and no insight. He's the worst out there. Give me Gruden or Jaws any day of the week.

Here's the thing: Listen to chris. He is biased. He is what joe buck is to the mlb (don't tell me you like him too).

Panthers vs Buccs 2011 went something like:

And the Panthers intercept the ball. What a lucky play for the Panthers. Big mistake for the Buccs.

And the Panthers score a touchdown. That was just bad defense from the Buccs.

And Cam Newton fumbles the ball! He wasn't hit by anyone, but the Buccs defense can scare the ball out of his hands.

And the buccs qb gets sacked. The Panthers got lucky there as there may have been a foul that should have been called.


Duder. The guy acts like he has a dog in every fight. Feel free to take advice and "analysis" from a former Bengal who coughed up the ball about as much as he caught it all you want. I'd rather listen to SuperBowl champs who aren't just talking heads.




edit* I've had a friend of about twenty years who has physical features that always reminded me of someone else, but I could never place it until today. My buddy (we'll call him George Broyhill) looks exactly like Ellen Degeneres.

Chris Collinsworth is like a stupid version of Phil Simms, which is really, really saying something. I can't stand either of them.

It's been slowly increasing it's sucky-ness every year for quite a while now. The only regular show I watch on there is X-Play, and even that isn't as enjoyable as years gone by.
Pretty much with Michi here. I watch X-Play, and on occasion Attack of The Show. AOTS just dive bombed after Kevin left. Some little elements, like the interviews, keep me interested. The movie news from the feed is pretty good too, but I could always get that off of Geeks of Doom. They also cut out the comic book thing they used to do, so...

X-Play is ok nowadays. I still watch it. They get exclusives, so I keep up with that. They've also done some pretty good interviews recently, so there is that.

I agree on the Simms take, completely.

I thought Collinsworth was universally appreciated, shows what I know, I personally like him more than most. He seems to "try" to avoid cliche', which is apparently very tough for analysts.

Well, maybe we can agree Kornheiser was the worst...ever?

I too watched X-Play for a while, but it got pretty terrible after Adam left. Blair makes me want to punch cats, and Morgan can't support the show on her own.

Three and a half years, 7004 posts. It would be cool if I could see the total number of hours I've spent browsing and posting here on RB. More than I've spent on any one game, I'm sure.

Besides drawing a penis on a replay, Dennis Miller was terr-ah-bul.

There was no moment in all of commentary history worse than when Kornheiser asked Jaworski, "Now if the the Ravens score here, is it safe to say it's over?"

It was 7-0, early in the second quarter.

Jaws was speechless - there was literally a "Are really the same guy from PTI" silence that lasted an excruciatingly long time, easily 5 seconds of dead air.

*Editor's Note*
I do not consider John Madden circling the butts of the Green Bay Packers O-line to be commentary history.

Anyone know why are there two different positions of the game title? Maybe one's a pack-in and the other was sold standalone?
