Anyone that refuses to acknowledge the palpable bias, his previous prediction for the gmen, are frankly refusing to see the obvious. Cosell was a master of drumming up things for whomever was winning. He was not biased but switched his enthusiasm based on the play and score. It was annoying.
I don't think he does. He makes money off the NFL from broadcasting & other interests so I'm guessing he really loves them all. Playing days are long behind him. Any old feelings are long gone.
You’re overreacting, which is typical of fans on this board. I don’t see how bringing up OBJ’s catch is disrespecting the Cowboys, It’s going to come up occasionally any time the Cowboys play the Giants. I’ve never seen a better catch and besides the Cowboys won that game. Some of you get way too caught up with the announcers. Collinsworth made a lot of favorable comments about the Cowboys during the game. He kept mentioning what a beat down we were giving the Giants. I have no issue with Collinsworth, I think he’s very objective.
There was a small documentary a few years ago on how he works, and he's absolutely a workaholic and dedicated to commentating. He loves his job and loves football. He's also a color commentator, so of course he's going to be a little more animated at times. It's similar to the hate Joe Buck gets - Joe Buck is consistently ranked as the highest or near the highest play-by-play guy with the least amount of mistakes every season. He's great at his job. Both of them are.
He is incredibly biased and just watch him when dallas is brought up in other games. If he is so perspicacious how did he predict a clear dallas win days earlier? It is bias. Almost like the pre show predictions on fox always seem to be team affiliation aligned not objectively. I guarantee Michael Strahan predicted a gmen win. It is not objective. Having former players as commentators is not always good because often it is not objective. I think Aikman may be an exception in reserving bias.
most former players hate dallas, because when they played, its just like today, Dallas gets all the headlines. Look at Steve Young.. he was complaining about the Lance trade... he says the Niners should NEVER trade with dallas... period.
He's gotta create some hype for the under dogs to keep viewers tuned in.
Miller was never supposed to be a football guy. He was supposed to try to do what the Manning's have done and be the opposite of a normal commentator. I personally LOVE the Manning's broadcast and will watch it every time they do it. It adds some real information on what a QB looks at, and they kill it every week with their humor... JMO.
And he played in Cincy...not exactly one of our hated rivals.
What possible reason would Collinsworth have for hating the Cowboys? He was an Ohio guy before football and during football and has been out of the league for decades now. What exactly could the Cowboys have done to him for him to hate them? You would think he'd have more issues with the 49ers.
really? Steve Young hasnt played in 20 years and his hatred for Dallas still runs deep in his veins. He even admitted it when the Lance trade went down. He blasted the niners saying they should NEVER trade with Dallas.
Bingo
You're hearing him but you aint listening then.
Two options for future Cowboys games on Sunday night:
I think "The Moose" is a really good commentator.
I think she's pregnant isn't she?
