NBC Sunday Night Football

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.

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.

Cris Collinsworth is so irritating with his voice and his comments about the Bengals. He is no expert and half of what he says no one cares to listen to. I know there are other announcers out there that would be much better than he is. I've been reading a lot of comments about him and lots and lots of people are sick of him. I don't know what you do to get him off of this Sunday night football. I love watching football, and I love the Cincinnati Bengals, but I almost don't want to watch, and actually on many occasions have turned off the volume because I can't stand hearing his irritating voice. Hopefully someone is paying attention to the comments that we see here and he needs to go.

This is specifically for OrangieTooDope review. It is one thing to have bad opinions about Al Michaels and Cris Collnsworth. Even though both are considered the best in their profession if you don't like them you don't like them, fine. But don't make up lies as to why. You claim Cris hates the Steelers bc they kept him in last place most of his career. How absurdly wrong you are. The Bengals finished ahead of the Steelers 5 out of his 8 years. They only finished last once. They went to 2 SBs during his time to the Steelers zero appearances during that time. So maybe you stick to reviewing things you have knowledge about as to avoid this kind of embarrassment again

Nothing better than wasting valuable time watching something like Sunday night football of a few teams going at it by tackling each other to win games so us dedicated fans can feel like we achieved something.

Great Sunday memories and moments.

nbc Sunday Football. Its where star are created and careers end. Where fans cry and rejoice.
