NFL announcer and NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth is under a ton of fire after disrespectful comments that he made during Sunday Night Football’s matchup with the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Chargers. He was talking about how much he liked the Bears young quarterback Tyson Bagent who replaced starter Justin Fields due to injury. Collinsworth then took a disrespectful shot at Fields suggesting that he should learn from the rookie who started in only his second game in the league.

Reaction To Cris Collinsworth
NFL fans were in shock by his comments and called for him to retire and that he is the worst announcer in the National Football League. Many were calling him ignorant for his comments and they have a great point.
Worst announcer in football… and it isn’t really close…

I can't stand Collinsworth and his commentary on any game. There are plenty of retired NFL players more credible.

Chicago Bears Quarterback Situation
Bagent went 25-37 for 232 passing yards and two interceptions in last night’s 30-13 loss to the Chargers. He was able to score a rushing touchdown, but that’s the only upside to his performance last night. It is alright for Collinsworth to like the young quarterback, but these comments that he made make him less credible in anything he says from here forward.
The Bears are 2-6 after the loss on Sunday Night Football and will look to bounce back in their next game against the New Orleans Saints. Bagent will be getting the start once again next week with Fields still recovering from the injury he suffered a couple of weeks ago. Fields has been listed as week-to-week in his recovery according to head coach Matt Eberflus.

Total BS. Collinsworth is one of the most knowledgeable announcers on TV. He knows the game and speaks his mind. Fields is by no means an elite quarterback. He still has a lot to learn and, whether it’s watching a 10 year veteran or a rookie, Fields can still get an education. All Collinsworth was saying was that in certain situations pageant Reacted the way that Fields should react. I am old enough to remember Dizzy Dean announcing baseball games. I can only imagine what this generation would think of him using words like “slud into third base.” It’s like calling for Al Michaels to retire, because he happened to say “Veterans Stadium.” Grow up and get a life! Think about how perfect you are in your own jobs!
I see nothing wrong with what Collinsworth said. So many knee jerk reactions on here from easily offended liberals. Easily offended but lack shame of what they say and do. How dare he criticize a man of color is what this is really about. Truth is, Fields is not a good Quarterback, period. You can affirmative action all you want, but that doesn’t win championships, create jobs, keep people safe, defend our country, or fuel the economy. Sports was meant to bring people together, but just not here, as so many people have died now for disagreeing with another person. Why even have sports anymore when we have so many morons willing to kill another person that do not share their loyalties. How stupid is that?
Affirmative action in the NFL? Now that is funny. A guy can’t kneel during the National Anthem. I still put my hand over my heart and stand because I love my country but America ain’t perfect. If the man who catches all the flack for kneeling would be great but All American Football is just hatred. They are afraid of his politics so he is done af. Another racist decision by the NFL. If he is the 5th best qb by his stats he should be playing and forget politics. It’s disgusting that they won’t use the guy.
Collinsworth is one of the better NFL commentators. He has Madden quality insight and calls a spade a spade. He was spot on about Fields. It’s not his fault if some viewers prefer woke untruths over observable facts. Want another fact? Mike Tirico could shut his mouth saying nothing the entire broadcast and nobody would miss him. He’s the same kind of oxygen stealing bore as Joe Buck and Bob Costas.
