He is the absolute worst announcer in professional sports.

Well, OK............ so he might be tied with Jack Edwards. I'd toss both of them in front of a moving train in a nano-second.

I went with 4. He comes off as goofy sometimes but he knows his stuff. Him and Al Michaels work well together.

Your definition of outstanding is different than mine.

Genetic tan aside.
4 times over a thousand yards receiving in his 7 full seasons. Averaged 16 yards per catch for his career had 75 TD catches was the #1 receiver on two super bowl teams. Dude was very, very good.

I think he’s cool. By his use of language you’d think he was a hippie in his youth. Gave him a 4 as well.

Honestly, how many guys out there are really better than him. Some of them are flat out horrible. Chris may be a little obnoxious but at least he doesn't sugar coat things. And he is very knowledgeable about the game. Compared to anything ESPN has given us for the last several years, he is a fucking great analyst. And there's a few on the other networks that are pretty bad too.

Good call on Edwards.If there is one announcer in all of sports I’d like to throat punch I’d flip a coin between Jack Edwards and Joe Buck.

His son is an exact clone of him, so if you like him or hate him.......He'll be passing the torch to his son Jac in coming years.....

Very good but not outstanding.

On another thread I noticed there seems to be a lot of people who really don't like Collinsworth's commentary during broadcasts. I need to know why? I think he does a great job, he has great insight, lots of insider knowledge about the game and players, and he understands the plays and can explain in them in pretty good detail. So I'm confused why so many people think he sucks. Or is this one of those Nickelback things where people just hate on someone because its the cool thing to do?

Who is better than Collinsworth in your opinion? Who are the commentators you'd rank ahead of him? I'm just curious.

Watch when he calls a Patriots game. Listen to him cream his pants when he talks about Brady and the Pats.

I think negros hate him because he is white and was outstanding in a position normally dominated by the ***** players.
Is there no limits to your racist comments? Between this and the nba board you truly are something else.

As a commentator/analyst he doesn't come close to Tony Romo but he does a credible job. Gets paid enough, that's for sure.

Joe Buck is the Greatest Announcer of All-Time!!

If the recepient of your throat punch isn't John Sterling and/or Michael Kay, then you're hopeless.

Anybody else notice how CC talked about how good the Olineman was for green bay and then he got bull rushed right into aaron? 3rd quarter. Then he just kept sucking. LOL at him back tracking about his comments just a play or two before.

CC sucks at giving out praise.
