He seems to be a genuinely nice guy. The problem is he tends to over-state his own opinion and can come across as condescending. If you listen closely, you will think that he played every position on the field – and was All-America at each. He spends valuable air-time discussing matters that are completely non-essential to the game.
His foray into boxing almost caused me to forsake the sport completely!
4. Chris Collinsworth: NBC. NFL Network
That perpetual smirk! An excellent player in college and the pro’s, but so obnoxious and smug behind a mic. "OK Chris, we know you played the game". It gets worse when he strays into other sports.
The smirk was on full display when he asked Kobe Bryant (at the Olympics no-less!), “Is that a ‘cool’ thing to say, in this day and age? That you love your country, and that you’re fighting for the red, white and blue? It seems sort of like a day gone by.”
Say what? Was that a trick question or just Collinsworth at his worst?
3. Jim Gray: Westwood One's Monday Night Football
With Gray exiled to radio coverage of the NFL, at least we won’t have to watch his abrasive tactics. History shows that his insulting style is no respecter of sports. One thing you have to hand to him, he mecahnically pursues his interview. It almost got him decapitated by Mike Tyson.
His lack of professionalism during his interview of Pete Rose at game two of the 1999 World Series, after Rose was introduced as a member of the Major League Baseball All-Century Team, angered fans and athletes alike.
