Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Flip flop: TV commentator Cris Collinsworth is among many who, borrowing a concept from politics, voted against the benching of Donovan McNabb before voting for it.

Working Sunday night for NBC's Football Night in America, Collinsworth said: ''Donovan learned last week the game could end in a tie, this week he learned the game could end at the half. The only thing worse than Donovan McNabb was his replacement and the decision by Andy Reid to replace him. You do not take a kid who has not practiced and put him in at halftime on the road against this Baltimore.''

During Thursday night's game on NFL Network, Collinsworth said: ''Do you get the feeling that the best thing to happen to the Philadelphia Eagles was benching Donovan McNabb? They seem to have gotten his attention. He is playing Donovan McNabb-style football that I haven't seen in a while.''

Larry O'Rourke Of The Morning Call catches Chris Collinsworth in some double talk.

haha, yea i remember that second part where he was saying it was the best thing that could have happened lol…

Look, our star RB is nowhere near 100%, our backup RB is out, and our 3rd string RB goes down when defenders blow in his general direction.

yeah… let’s totally neglect to mention that the best thing that could have happened is if the team was doing well enough the whole season that this wasn’t even a factor…

or the benching… toss up really

World F*ckin' Champions, indeed...

Chris Collingsworth is a walking, talking ass. The smartest move Fox ever made was getting rid of him.

Hmmmm

Every notice that you never see Chris Collingsworth and Bob Saget at the same time? Hmmm.
