NFL Thursday Night Football

I cannot believe that as astute as the NFL owners are in putting together a winning product on the gridiron field, they continue to have blabber mouth Chris Collinsworth and his 72 year old sidekick Al Michaels broadcasting the weekly Thursday night NFL games. I can only watch the game for a maximum of 10 minutes and then my blood starts boiling with the nonsense spewing out of Chris Collinsworth's raspy mouth that I pick up my remote just so I can mute the irritating sound emanating from his mouth. After watching the game for a few minutes in absolute golden silence without the sound when I do put the audio back on, it drives me even crazier when I hear that Collinsworth is still rambling on about the same thing he was when I muted the sound 10 minutes earlier. In fact, a lot of his rambling is not even related to a play on the field, or a probability of what is to come in the form of the next series of downs. No, oh no, Collinsworth can be heard talking about personal stuff non related to the game on the field. Even worse, Al Michaels will turn to Chris and ask him to elaborate even more on the personal stuff.

I love watching all NFL games, but I must say that if the NFL doesn't can Collinsworth and Michaels very soon and replace them with better sports commentators like maybe Terry Bradshaw, John Gruden and/or coach Tony Dungy, I guess i will just have to continue to mute the sound. Hey, here is a novel idea, there is a great female sports broadcaster named Kathryn Humphreys (CITY TV Toronto) here in Toronto Canada, who retired very early and in her prime just so she could take full time care of her twin boys. I am sure if the producers of NFL Thursday Night caught a few of Ms. Humphreys on air interviews/broadcasts from the CITY TV archives they would recognize her skill in caring for little (athlete and fellow broadcaster) boys like Collinsworth and Michaels. Because Thursday Night NFL certainly needs some semblance of maturity and enlightenment to raise those poor TV ratings.

I have to believe that the corporate sponsors must realize that their number of viewers are not as high as they should be on Thursday night games because of these two bozos. To add salt to an open wound NBC also has these two bores hosting the NFL Sunday Night Game of the Week. On their Sunday Dec 18, 2016 broadcast Al Michaels reminisced with Chris Collinsworth back in 2008 when the one week that John Madden was not available to broadcast the Sunday night game of the week between Seattle and Tampa Bay the producers brought in Chris Collinsworth and the result was NBC's LOWEST rated Sunday Night game in NFL history. But yet the NBC producers did not learn anything from their lousy historical TV viewer ratings.

Please get rid of Chris Collinsworth and Al Michaels sooner rather than later or at least consider adding semi-retired Toronto CITY TV sports broadcaster Kathryn Humphreys to the mix to breathe some fresh life and enthusiasm into this dog tired tandem of Collinsworth and Michaels.

If you were going out for dinner and your server comes to your table and begins telling you their political views before you even get your drinks. And you disagree with their views but you can't stop them or saying anything. Are you going back to that restaurant again? 🤔 I doubt it. Because you don't go there to hear their political options. You go to enjoy a few hours with friends or family, eat and enjoy the time away from everything. Same with sports. These guys are constantly in trouble for beating their girlfriends. Drugs and even murder. And that's what we see. The coaches and NFL cover so much up for these guys that we'll never know the true shame.

The NFL needs to get rid of Chris Collinsworth, who is a cringing and pathetic suck-up to every NFL rule and policy. He spends every game justifying the most insane penalty calls. He sounds like an old woman. The NFL needs to find a real man to take over.

Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan are a couple of clowns. Strahan has no credibility anymore, as sometimes it sounds like he has not seen a football game in years. Strahan is not interested in football, he just wants to be on every show, and to push himself as an expert on everything.

Ancient Terry Bradshaw and his hillbilly clown routine are annoying. It would be nice if they put him away and gave the job to somebody that has played football in the last 50 years. Terry Bradshaw reminds me of Beano Cook, who was on ESPN forever, and would start every college football show with his memories of the 1933 Boston College game that was his first professional announcer job.

Since this moved to Prime it sucks. Can't see the clock or downs on the bottom of the screen because of the station logo and info, cuts out for no reason. Footballnis a staple in our house in the fall. Moving TNF has been less than a pleasant experience for our household. All about the money, who is going to air the games. Streaming is not always great where we live which is okay for movies and such, but truly stinks for a live event. I hope enough peeps complaining will force the issue for the NFL (ha ha) and get a network to pick it up so everyone can watch the games without constant interruptions.

His unintellible speech needs to go away from everything, TV, all channels, Radio, any that he may be on. Can't stand muting him, listening to radio instead of tv broadcasts. GO AWAY STRAHAN.
