faba Posted July 13, 2005 Author Share Posted July 13, 2005 Collinsworth to NBC for Sunday night football NFL.com wire reports NEW YORK (July 13, 2005) -- Cris Collinsworth will leave Fox to become a studio analyst and co-host of NBC's Sunday night football, which will begin during the 2006 NFL season. It will be the second stint with NBC for Collinsworth, the former Cincinnati wide receiver, who was with the network from 1990-96. Last season, Collinsworth was an analyst along with Troy Aikman on Fox's lead game telecast team with Joe Buck doing play-by-play. Collinsworth joined Fox in 1998 as a studio analyst and also has worked on HBO's Inside the NFL. He played for the Bengals from 1981-88. Under its new contract with the NFL, NBC will have a one-hour studio show before the game telecast, which will start shortly after 8 p.m. on the East Coast. Collingsworth will be another reason that I turn on the games right before kickoff and avoid pregame shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomShane Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Seriously. Why is it SO hard to put on a pre-game show? Is anything more painful than the Marino-Esiason-Deion-Gumbel combo? You couldn't compile a more embarrassing bunch of nitwits if you tried. Honestly. I mean, how did they not get Dan Dierdorf in there? Maybe they could get Steve Serby to do some featurettes.
