NBC Sunday Night Football

Cris Collinsworth needs to go. He is always second-guessing what a coach/team does. If he wants to coach, get out of the booth and get on the sidelines.

Finally after an 8 year vacation NFL football is back on NBC, and this time the peacock has struck gold! NBC this season airs the Sunday night games, the games are always the best many featuring division rivals, and teams with good records heading towards the playoffs. And the concept of the second half schedule being in flex is the greatest idea that a network could have came up with! No longer do you have to worry about late season games with teams with bad records that have no playoff shot, as NBC was given league permission to take in their opinion the best game away from one of the other two networks and air it on Sunday night. So no longer do you have to worry about seeing a bad game, plus the games are always meaningful and good. Before the game airs each week you have football night in America the studio show with the latest news and highlights of the games played that afternoon. The Studio show is great with veterans as host Bob Costas is never at a loss for words and Chris Collinsworth provides his best take on the league as always he knows his stuff, and Bettis and Sharpe seem OK as newcomers. Another great move by NBC was the broadcast team that they have chosen to call the games the best in the business as Al Michaels and John Madden at the mike enough said. Michaels and Madden have out worked everyone and their knowledge of the game can't be matched. As for the sideline reporting it is good with the informative and elegant Andrea Kremer who was an ex ESPN reporter, the broadcasters working together are just great and they make Sunday nights enjoyable. NBC has the best football games going today it now puts Monday Night Football to shame, so don't miss Sunday nights.

Really upset that NBC showed other half time shows but not the packers half time show. My daughter stayed up extra late for the thanksgiving show and it was not shown. Really upset with that . If you advertise it you should show it. Next time if you advertise it you need to show all half time shows for all football games. Even of you post on Facebook where most people look about game time and half tome shows. Shame on NBC or whoever posts or media for kot posting correctly. Next time I will make sure that TV is off of not showing half ti.e shows or games. We watch games to cheer on our team and if my kid likes the half tine show we would like to see them you cans show shobozy bit you can't show someone with re talent with the violin.

There's no denying that Sunday Night Football still delivers a high-quality broadcast week after week. It's one of the most polished productions in sports, with a sleek presentation, elite commentary, and some of the NFL's biggest games in prime time. But lately, it's started to feel like a little too much extra fluff around what should just be top-tier football.

Football Night in America: A Standout Pre-Game Show

Let's give credit where it's due - Football Night in America is an absolute gem. The pacing, the analysis, the stories... it sets the tone perfectly. Maria Taylor, Tony Dungy, Chris Simms, Mike Florio, Jason Garrett, and Devin McCourty have gelled into a smart and likable team. They balance football IQ with personality and keep things focused on the game. This segment remains a consistent highlight.

Cris Collinsworth & Mike Tirico: A Solid Duo

Cris and Mike have developed a strong rapport. Tirico is smooth, professional, and keeps things grounded, while Collinsworth brings in the player perspective and quirky insights. Sometimes Cris gets a bit too excited about certain players (you know the moments), but overall, this pair handles the broadcast with veteran poise.

But Please, Cool It with the Taylor Swift Lovefest

We get it - there's crossover appeal when celebrities show up. But the constant cutaways, commentary, and borderline obsession when Taylor Swift is in the building has started to wear thin. It's a football broadcast first, not a celebrity highlight reel. A nod? Sure. A full segment every week? Come on.

In Summary

Sunday Night Football is still one of the best weekly showcases in the NFL, and "Football Night in America" continues to carry its weight in gold. But the extra noise and distractions can sometimes take away from the football itself.

8 out of 10 - strong, reliable, but it could be even better if it focused more on the gridiron than the gossip.

I love NFL Football, but it is hard to enjoy the broadcasts, listening to the endless butt-munch Chris Collinsworth. Every penalty, every suspension, every thing Roger Goodell does has to be praised by Collinsworth. It sounds like a religious show sometimes when Collinsworth goes on a roll of pointing out how everything that the NFL does is good. He even praises the most bogus pass-interference calls by the referees.

I pray every year that Collinsworth will retire or get replaced. It would be nice to hear somebody that sounded neutral. Not to mention that when the New England Patriots are playing, it is 99% praising Tom Brady, and 1% discussing the other team. Collinsworth is the worst brown-noser that has ever been a broadcaster on any major sports program. Please retire Chris.
