He's probably my 2nd favorite commentator.
You hear it about every color commentator. For each one there is a noisy contingent of people who love to whine about perceived flaws.
That may be true, but I certainly do mute my tv a lot unless its my team that's playing. I had it muted for much of last night's game.

Problem solved.
Probably correct, I still watched the game though. Just listened to a different broadcast (Sirius/XM - Kevin Harlan and Kurt Warner-they’re pretty decent)
Problem solved.
I thought it was ballsy for him to continually call out Taylor for being off the line and there being no flag. Analysts typically say something like that once and let it go, but he was mocking it for several plays.
With the sync issue, it usually takes a couple seconds (during the opening kickoff) halting the TV broadcast for the radio to catch up, but once you get it pretty close, it works really well and it so much more enjoyable.
that was his best line of the night
honestly we had the volume at low level, the cheering and our own chatter was louder than the broadcast
we don't NEED CC to tell us what is in front of us
we were too busy enjoying the game (or silently praying....or chain smoking [one guy kept popping out & watching non his phone]....or doing laps around the LR/Kitchen
wish I could figure out a reliable way to sync my tv with the Dan Miller radio broadcast (Lions longtime play by play guy), easy on my devices but difficult when streaming on the LG
Doubt many would even notice Taylor was doing that without Collinsworth pointing it out.

Trying to sync is difficult, particularly if you are streaming games vs watching the broadcast and if you are watching locally or nationally.With the sync issue, it usually takes a couple seconds (during the opening kickoff) halting the TV broadcast for the radio to catch up, but once you get it pretty close, it works really well and it so much more enjoyable.

it's this for me. i like him fine as a commentator in general and he's better than most, but when he calls out people it's cringeworthy. love the comments he makes about when he played the game too... chris when you played the game linemen werent 300 lbs running sub 5 40s.
He just repeats himself endlessly and his same anecdotal BS carries over into every team. That is where they quote, "Now here's a guy..."
By the way, it's just Cris - no h necessary for this idiot.
That's fair. I guess he just meant, "Mahomes ability to carry a depleted team is truly going to be put to the test tonight." But yeah, like nobody knew he was great before. I wouldn't take that as a slight toward Mahomes though. But yeah I can see how a commentator could say a lot of things off the cuff -- you don't really have the time to craft sentences with tact when speaking live, though I guess there are certain people who do have that gift -- that would be taken the wrong way.
This. I don't love guys that just like to hear themselves talk. Same with Romo. IMO, they don't need to talk for every second of every broadcast.
When I was in college I minored in broadcast communications, and through a good interview, I got to call Minnesota Twins games on the radio straight out of school, and I was good at it, and enjoyed it...for about 3 weeks. Quit during the summer and pretty much lost all interest in baseball forever. Calling a game is incredibly difficult, (football is probably easier than baseball as more things happen) but its incredibly tedious, and at a certain point everything just runs together. 2 months in, I couldn't remember if something happened in the 4th inning or 4 games ago. Your brain just goes on autopilot, which is probably why so many announcers once they find their niche, stick to the same tropes "here's a guy..."
I think we can all agree Justin Watson isn't the Chiefs designated stretch the field guy. I actually disagree with Collinsworth providing any actual knowledge relative to the sport. I'm not sure how you make it better but talking about what types of plays are being called to scheme toward what the other team is calling seems like a decent start.
I also like Romo.
That pretty well sums it up.
I can't stand Romo's voice, but I overlook it.
That's not a real person, is it
