NBC's Cris Collinsworth roasted after being 'blown away' that 'ladies' comprehend football

Cris Collinsworth is a divisive sportscaster.
NBC’s color commentator for NFL games draws praise from his fans for his analysis and scorn from his detractors who generally wish he would just shut up already.

He was awful yesterday. Just awful. He kept gushing over the "amazing opportunities" the Ravens had. I nearly threw something at the TV.

Social media doesn't understand how this was even insulting. Many women from Pittsburgh know a lot about football and hockey...........which may surprise many people from other cities. It was a compliment that just could have been phrased better.

Collinsworth was a pain in the rear player who seldom got hit the way he should have. As a broadcaster he hides his ill will towards the Steelers, but every now and then it comes out.

As a rule, whenever one team gets a big lead, the color analyst is supposed to GUSH over the losing team, in order to keep the viewers/fans of that losing team from turning the channel.

Collinsworth must have felt that the Steelers were winning from the get-go, because he was drooling over anything & everything that the Ravens did. Normally, I don’t care... but, last night, it seemed to be a little over the top.

But, more to the point of one particular thing he said: He’s gotta know better.

Tirico was also getting way overexcited at the possibility of the Ravens hanging around.

Never been a fan of Tirico and Collinsworth has been on TV far too long.

Of course women know about football. Ever since us men started putting TV's in the kitchen.


(I kid).

They were giddy over the possibility that they wouldn't be announcing the blowout they had been expecting all weekend. But colinsworth just suck no matter what game you watch.

Collinsworth has always been a Steeler hater and, they need to get him off the air. I thought Romo & Nantz were over the top during the Steelers - Cowboys game.

I’m not a Collinsworth fan but that comment is far from something he needs to apologize for.

agreed, but its the day in which we live. Lot's of thin skin on the nose these days.

Former bengal wr who got knocked around a few times by the Steelers. I always view his opinions on Steeler games with skepticism. Might as well have Dan Pastorini in there by tirico.

Eh I don't see why this is such a big deal. Women on average aren't as into football as men are, this is just a statistical fact. Whenever I run into a woman that knows her shit about football I'm surprised also. Not because women can't understand the game, it's just that most aren't into it.
