NBC complaint: Fire Collinsworth

I don’t know what game Cris Collinsworth was watching last night but it’s clear he is more interested in the sound of his own voice than the game itself. In the fourth quarter he ponders aloud that “perhaps…last years’ Super Bowl wore KC down”. Really. This is AFTER he boasts of the BoltonSoreson tackle of Josh Allen in the 2nd quarter, defending the hit and providing a sick rationale that “they want to run your quarterback, yeah, go ahead. Take a shot all day.” It was an ugly hit but I don’t think it was KC’s intention to injure Josh — yet Collinsworth seemed disappointed that they didn’t. To be clear, Mr. Collinsworth, it wasn’t the rain delay, or the sticky peanut butter sandwiches, or the sweltering visitor’s locker room, or some “post-Super Bowl malaise” shrouding the KC players. The Buffalo Bills dismantled the Kansas City Chiefs last night. Every player, every down, every move the Bills made won that game. You are worse than the egregious penalties you defended, Cris. Enough said.
