Johnny_Blaze Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Is it just me or does Chris Collinsworth suck at announcing as well as Troy Aikmen? I wish to go I had access to WJFK down here so I could listen to Sonny and Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broohaha Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 they werent that bad. as much as i hate the cowgirls, i have to admit that aikman and moose johnston are really good color men, IMO. and jimmy's okay in the fox pregame show. michael irvin, on the other hand, can suck it.

Woofer Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Chris likes the Redskins - plugs them whenever he can. What's the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4comp Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I really liked it though...especially the part where Collinsworth shows the clip of Aikman getting pummeled, and Aikman goes "Yea i've never been hit so hard in my life, i thought the trainer might have had to go and put my head back on my shoulder" or something..that was hilarious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtown Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I didn't mind the announcers today. Thought they did a good enough job. What really bothered me was Fox's gay endzone view during plays. I mean seriously, how many plays did they plan on ruining today using that angle. Its ok for replays but for live action just give me the standard sideline view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I thing it was nice we got one of the better teams instead of the same old crap crew we always have. At least Chris is honest he even said he was surprised how fast Gibbs could turn something around and I loved Jimmie's comment about how this is not Floriday anymore, to late for trying to take everyone by surprise now The radio team still isn't the same and I just don't like Larry, at least I give him credit where he didn't use Franck's saying, however he seemed lost and surprised when portis broke that long play and sounded bad.

Johnny_Blaze Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 I dont know, i always feel like Collinsworth makes anti-redskins statements, he usually is quick to pick out flaws of us rather than praise us in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i guess hes anti-cowgirls too ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4comp Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 The only announcer i hate is Pat Summerall..i just hate how he drags every sentence..makes it feels like 10 minutes just went by when he makes a statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Summerall has never bothered me before, but I was SHOCKED listening to his intro tonight. He sounded old and unsteady. Since, I've heard him screw up 3 or 4 times. He didn't even recognize Tony Gonzalez! Called him "Dunn." He won't make it through the whole season. No way.

TheDane Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 1) I'm embarrassed for Pat Summerall. He sounds bad. ESPN should bring back Mike Patrick; why did they ditch him in the first place? 2) Collinsworth has pulled a complete 180 degree turn on the 'Skins. It's amazing. Chalk another one up for Gibbs.

Soliloquy Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I didn't hear them today, but I like Aikman as a color guy, and I don't quite understand the hate for Collinsworth I've seen on the board. I kind of like him. Buck isn't too bad, but tends to fall on his face when he gets chatty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyGator Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Aikman repeats himself too much and Collinsworth is getting worse IMO. CC is too political. I liked him in the studio, but he just seems out of place in the booth. Buck is better at baseball. Overall, they seem to be getting worse, not better. They are becoming very predictable. CC and Troy should talk about the fine points of the game more. Aikman does sometimes, but not enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I have no problem with collinsworth. He's pure honesty, even if it's not what you want to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I have said it before and I will say it again. Chris Collinsworth is the absolute worst announcer/"expert" ever!! Normally I don't wish bad things on people, but I can't say that about him. I wish REAL bad things upon him. :finger: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydshobob Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Collinsworth hasn't gone from hating the Redskins to loving them, he's gone from criticizing their ridiculous coaching last year to pointing out how big an impact it can have on the team this year. He always talked about how Ramsey could be good but we may never find out because Spurrier was going to get him killed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEB Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 The crew for the game today wasn't so bad. I didn't find anything they said particularly objectionable. Sumerall tonight though - wow he's noticeably off his game. I don't know whether it's him recovering from his recent health problems or just old age but, he has made several errors this evening.

McMetal Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Originally posted by Woofer Magoo Chris likes the Redskins - plugs them whenever he can. What's the problem? WHAAATTT?!?!?!?!?! I CANNOT BELIEVE I just read that! Dude, sorry but did you listen to him call any of our games the last 2 years? He has LAUGHED at us, constantly made sniping, petty criticisms and basically completely disrespected our franchise. He doesn't do it with the same spiteful venom of Fatsquarelli, I think he's just more of a bandwagon pile-on media clone. But that's hardly an excuse. Just a pathetic attempt to be "edgy" or "controversial." For an announcer on a national network to display that kind of flagrant smart-ass attitude while calling a game is just inexcusable. I used to dig his act when he worked for Inside the NFL, but I refuse to ever listen to him do another Skins game. Seriously, he is HORRIBLE. I wish I could provide specific quotations, but I was always too busy screaming retaliatory profanity or throwing beers at the TV to jot down notes...

Clark84 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Aikman is very good at what he does. He offers a unbiased opinion on every situation. Before the game, it was him who said he to watch out for the Skins come January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
