How much longer will NBC subject us to Chris Collinsworth on these Sunday night games. That dude is just awful especially when doing a Chiefs game. And don't tell me a league that lets it's major network partner be so slanted to one side in their coverage wouldn't fix games for them if need be. And I say this as a Bears fan but it's a disgrace to the credibility of the league IMO.

I’m surprised that the network that forced Al Michaels out didn’t do the same with Collinsworth after the Super Bowl. Greg Olsen would have been such an obvious and natural next move.

Officially, no. But if Al wanted to retire, he would have ridden off into the sunset and not taken the Amazon Prime Video slot.

No one will openly come out and admit it, but it was pretty clear NBC was ready for Tirico to take the NBC PBP role. The tea leaves weren’t exactly cryptic.

Green Bay was wrong to have not fired Matt LaFleur and Brian Gutekunst (GM) after last season. The first three games of this season have only proven it more.

The Packers might have had 11 on the field, but at least two of them were about as useful as I would have been on that play.
