He's an announcer. Almost all of them blow sunshine up everyone's behind. It's their job to fill time and to make the fans giddy when they are singing your team or players praises. Trying to appease all sides. Simple as that.
He hates dallas. You dont get it.

Exactly. They touted the Giants all pregame, leading up to kickoff. BTW,Didnt that catch happen AT DALLAS? When will Collinsworth let that catch go? Hès never done a darn thing since.
He picked gmen to win on thurstay i believe

Yeah I mean I know he has his critics but he didn’t do anything crazy last night. And the stuff the OP is talking about is not too crazy. Giants did get faster with Campbell, Hyatt and Waller. The ObJ catch is historically great and one of the best catches of all time. It’s gonna get discussed.
But he did not tell everyone he picked gmen to win and then pretends like he sees Dallas as a contender. Cossell pulled this crap all the time. He knows nothing about talent and is quite biased and subjective because he hates dallas.

LOL.

Collinsworth was very effusive about the Cowboys last night. He was drooling all over the defense, for example. Some of you guys really live in this Cowboys bubble. I thought Collinsworth did a really nice job last night. He can't kiss the butt of the Cowboys the entire game. He's gotta say some good things about the opponent too.

Oh and his comment about fastest team, he said the Giants THOUGHT they would be the fastest team on the field. That their offseason goal was to get faster.
Last night yes after he predicted a gmen win on Thursday. He hates dallas.

Collingsworth predicted a giants win days earlier, then pulled a howard cossell by going on about martin and Steele and Super Bowl contenders. I posted at half time that he predicted a loss for dallas and the moderators removed my post for some reason. Collingsworth hates the cowboys and makes no bones about it. He was talking about how awful the giants beat down was, he was devastated. I am frankly tired of this clowns negativity for dallas.
He's never seemed to hate the Cowboys or any other team, to me. He just seems to really like great play and great players.

He's terrible. But honestly, can we name more commentators we like than dislike nowadays? Most of them suck. And don't get me started on the talking heads of the sports programs like ESPN etc.. It's hard to watch any of it anymore.
He is awful and has a demonstrable bias against dallas. He was whooping it up about dallas after they decimated gmen but predicted a Dallas loss days earlier. So which is it????

he is a jerk and a biased fool, picking the gmen because he hates dallas. How is that objective? His hatred for dallas ruins his ability to be objective. And then he does the cossell two step heaping praise on the team he picked to lose because he would look like a clown otherwise.
Meh, he can have an opinion and he was proven wrong. I enjoy his commentary overall.

You are not listing to him then. He claimed the gmen were a better team just Thursday and then when he finds out his bias has been exposed extols Dallas’s virtue and it is disingenuous.

Not just opinion, it is a clear bias, he hates dallas. And how can someone so intelligent not have forseen the debacle?

He is terribly biased and clear as day he hates dallas. how could he have been so wrong about predicting a gmen win if he did not have some bias??

Most predicted the game to be very close, including Vegas. No one predicted the results of last night
he predicted a clear dallas win on Thursday. You must not have been watching. He said nothing about close. His predictions are always biased against dallas.

People have opinions about what team they think is better. Sometimes they're wrong. The unbiased ones don't just cling to their statements when they see they were wrong. Every Dallas game I've heard him call, he gave praise where it was deserved, whether it was Dallas or the opposition.

He was just talking about the Giants and not disrespecting the Cowboys. I had zero issues with Collings last night.
Nah. He’s definitely anti Cowboys. Even yesterday it was about how bad the Giants were playing not that they were dominated by a better team. It is what it is.

You need to listen to him. Thursday he predicted a giants win. On sunday he is effusive about dallas. Why? Because they are good. But he had no choice. He also was going on about how terrible the loss was vs. how great the dallas win was. He really hates dallas.

What a great win last night. I loved every second of it. With that being said. Can we discuss how Collinsworth gets away with blatantly disrespecting the Cowboys every time he comments on their games?

If I have to hear about the OBJ catch one more time I may lose my mind. It was years ago and they lost that game. With that said all he kept saying pre game and during the game is how good the Giants were. At one point he said the Giants added a bunch of new weapons for Daniel Jones and that they would be the fastest team on the field. Maybe I am overreacting but its been years of this and I am honestly at the point where I may watch the games on mute when he is in the booth.

Anyways. Rant over. Go Cowboys!
He tries to prop up players on both teams... it comes from all announcers. I wish the radio guys doing the gamewere timed with the TV broadcast. Id much prefer to listen to the Dalls radio broadcast, but they are never timed right.

Some of you let commentators get to you way too easily. Collinsworth has some odd moments, but overall, he's insightful. Same as Joe Buck has many outstanding and legendary calls. And no, Aikman is not "against the Cowboys".

If it's so bad, mute the TV or turn on your local radio broadcast where they fluff up anything put together by Jerry Jones.
