What a coincidence that the best broadcaster who ever lived or will ever live happened to be alive in time for us to record him and immortalize his voice to use for generations to come.

That's why we're doing this, right? Because there's no other human alive who is capable of reading a script as well?

Yeah fuck having a potential future replacement do the recap instead. I guess I should add the word human to that last sentence because it sure as shit seems they are testing out his actual replacement.

STOP! BOTH OF YOU! Do you fucking want more Chris Collinsworth? Cuz this is how you get more Chris Collinsworth.

Or, god help us, Joe Buck!

Buck just puts me to sleep but Collinsworth gives me blind rage every syllable that leaves his mouth lol.

Edit: and wasn't it Buck on the "DIGGS. SIDELINE. TOUCHDOWN. UNBELIEVABLE." call? Fuck that's one of my favorite calls 9f all time by an announcer not named Rick Jeanneret.

HERES A GUY

Hahaha Even as a heterosexual male who is on record for saying I would carry Josh Allen's baby, when Collinsworth starts sucking Allen's knob on air it kills my boner it's so gay./s
