Questionable integrity for him to keep plugging it on the airwaves. Anthony Cris Collinsworth (born January 27, 1959) is a former professional American football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League(NFL) for eight seasons, all with the Cincinnati Bengals, during the 1980s. He played college football for the University of Florida, and was recognized as an All-American. He is currently a television sportscaster for NBC, Showtime, and the NFL Network and winner of 15 Sports Emmy Awards.[1] He is also the owner of Pro Football Focus, a sports statistic monitoring service.

lancerman Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Let ESPN get him. I barely have time to watch those crappy Monday Night games. No to NBC though. Collinsworth and Michaels are still the best duo right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Please get rid of Collinsworth. Almost begs for calls to be made for the guys he likes the most. Hate that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Don't tease me with this. I'd tune into every MNF game just to listen to Peyton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the sooner they get Tirico in there the better. And Collinsworth used to be ok, but he never really improved and got worse in some ways. Could do better for what is considered the premier product typically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I'd rather not have Peyton Manning get one of the primetime slots. That would mean that his schedule would be set at the beginning of the year and he wouldn't get the best games of the season from week to week. It would also mean he wouldn't do playoff games if he went to ESPN. Tony Romo made me enjoy football commentary for the first time in my life. I think Peyton Manning would do just as well. Buck and Aikman and Albert and half the others are just so intolerably boring. The closest I can describe it is that it's the audio equivalent of watching golf.

Thelonebillsfan Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I always figured he'd go into acting after football if he didn't get a job related to the game. He's perfect for commentary, might take him a week or two to get acclimated but he's funny, he's the greatest on field football mind arguably ever, and he's not Gruden or Aikman.

Hes not a professional journalist. Hes a color commentator. His opinion is somewhat required for the job. You might as well call Rush Limbaugh or Rachel Maddow professional journalists. None of them are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shylo3716 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Former quarterbacks and coaches are always the favorites to land the job, but I say, if Manning doesn’t want it, offer Ryan Clark the Monday Night position because he’s very knowledgeable of the game; the only downside is that he wouldn’t be able to host any Denver games at home.

He’s doesn’t have actor looks and he has the same monotone expression in all his commercials. He’s a good one more character, but Hollywood won’t knock down his door. He’d be very limited at this age in what roles he’d get. He could be a good commentator, but I think players honestly are one trick pony’s in the booth now. Romo brings insight now, but it’ll be played out in a couple years. Fouts and Aikman are nothing special in the booth anymore. I think people just like the idea of a player they are used to.

August4th Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 wish MNF was back on ABC and aired better match-ups.. but I guess that would take away from SNF just miss being hyped hearing that theme song and getting ready for the monday night game.. now it just feels whatever to me..

SammyBradwater Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Please no. Look, I'm sure Manning would be very knowledgable, but I cannot stand his voice or his personality. His commercials are already driving me insane. I don't need to see his giant forehead any more than I already do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
