The 2025 NFL regular season hasn’t even started yet, and football fans are already tired of “Sunday Night Football” analyst Cris Collinsworth.
Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth were on the call for the 2025 Hall of Fame Game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions in Canton, Ohio, for NBC Sports on Thursday evening. The Bolts went on to win 34-7, with Trey Lance throwing two touchdowns in the victory.
2025 marks the fourth season with Tirico and Collinsworthy in the broadcast booth together full-time. Tirico joined NBC Sports in 2016 and took over as the permanent play-by-play voice for “Sunday Night Football” in 2022, with Al Michaels leaving and signing a deal to call “Thursday Night Football” on Amazon Prime Video.
It was only a preseason game, mostly played by second and third-stringers, but football fans quickly grew frustrated with Cris Collinsworth on Thursday.
“You know what I haven’t missed? Chris Collinsworth,” a fan said.
“It’s that time of year again to say “Tf is Cris Collinsworth talking about?” quipped another.
“man – it’s been so long since I screamed at the TV “SHUT UP CRIS COLLINSWORTH!”. so glad football is back,” a fan wrote.
“I’m sick of Chris Collinsworth already and he didn’t even talk about Mahomes,” said another.
“How does cris collinsworth still have a job? @NBCSports,” a fan commented.
“Somehow Collinsworth has gotten even worse at his job. Worst commentator in the game 🤦🏽♂️,” said a user.
Cris Collinsworth has a career that will always have plenty of haters and critics. Other prominent NFL analysts like Troy Aikman and Tony Romo are no different, and former CBS Sports analyst Phil Simms knows the feeling, too.
The 66-year-old Collinsworth became the new color commentator for “Sunday Night Football” in 2009 following the legendary John Madden’s retirement. Collinsworth worked with the aforementioned Al Michaels from 2009 to 2021 before the latter left the network three years ago.
