    Right there with ya, Steve. For analysts, it used to be Collinsworth, followed by “everyone else”, primarily because he called the game “as it was”. Now he’s succumbed to “adjust the analysis to fit whatever narrative” the producers dreamed up in pre-production meetings.

    Want another example? Go back and listen to his “kids just having fun” gushing about end zone celebrations last night. Then Google “Collinsworth end zone celebrations” and check out how he “used to” feel. If his little editiorial about end zone celebrations felt scripted last night, it’s only because I’m sure it was. And it probably came via a memo from Goodell’s office… “Show everyone how much FUN we are, and how much the players love us.”

      Damn…..that is depressing. Sad to see Collinsworth morphing like this. He’s still the best by a BIG margin but yeah there’s cracks forming. :/

    Czabe , that’s why I still find you on the 980 app and read this blog , your opinions are spot on and you don’t pull punches, thanks for that. Now onto SB Radio , WTF ! Has your buddy Scott ever had a legitimate opinion? Every morning he either can’t say for certain or he may be mistaken or excuse if I’m wrong , come on MAN! And I know i don’t have to listen but it’s still better than the Mike and Dbag and imitators out there. For example after the intentional grounding call against Kirk last week , on Monday mind you, not right after the play or even later that day but Monday fucking morning said , i may be mistaken and I havent looked up the actual rule but i don’t believe What the QB was thinking is figured into the call. WHAT!!! The rule is called INTENTIONAL grounding , you are a SPORTS TALK SHOW HOST , Google the fucking thing you moron . thanks for listening , I’m sure Scott is a nice enough guy but he cannot fill your shoes. , Pete O’D in Richmond

    I said the same thing to my wife immediately after Collinsworth came out with that line. Still l Collinsworth is THE BEST ON TV! He would probably take it back if he could.

    Hundley was so bad at times in this game I could barely watch. Collinsworth’s statement was the worse all year! Hopefully he was just trying to stir the pot.

    “Giving Aaron Rodgers the ball with 1:20 to play, and a timeout in his pocket, is akin to signing your own death warrant”
