Now, Bob Trumpy was a hater, no question. But I think Cris and Boomer (Esiason) do a good job of showing loyalty and affection for the team they played for while still trying to provide objective analysis. Not an easy line to walk...
Completely agree. You have the Rodney Harrison and Willie McGinist's of the world who do nothing, but gush all over their previous teams to the point you don't even want to watch. I've always enjoyed Collinsworth as an announcer. At the end of the day, he has a job to do and a family to provide for. That job is not being a PR man for the Bengals...
