I have to say Collinsworth was always great on WLW Sports Talk, as was Trumpy before him. I got to call in and talk to Collinsworth a few times, he was a great guy and I felt lucky to talk to this Bengals great player.
As for Collinsworth on national TV, we can't expect him to do the Joe Nuxhall and be a Cincinnati Homer. That is not his job. He is not paid by the Bengals. He is paid by NBC to be a Prime Time National TV announcer. Deep down he may want to root for the Bengals on National TV, but if he wants to keep his job he will broadcast the game like a pro broadcaster and not an ex Bengal. Now Lapham can be a Joe Nuxhall because he is local, not national. People should be able to figure that out.
