Okay, so I saw this headline floating around, “Why is Collinsworth not on tonight?” and it got me thinking. I’m a big fan of the guy, so I wanted to figure out what was going on.
I started digging around, just a casual search on the internet. And guess what I found? It turns out, he was supposed to be doing the Packers vs. Dolphins game on NBC, but he wasn’t there. The reason? He took some time off.
Yeah, apparently, he wanted to enjoy his Thanksgiving with friends and family. I can’t blame him for that. Who wouldn’t want a break during the holidays? I personally took a week off to spend time with my lovely cat. So I totally understand that he wants to enjoy his Thanksgiving with family members.
Then I went a bit deeper. I looked into his background. The dude’s been in the game for a while. After retiring from playing in the NFL, he started his broadcasting career. I even found out he used to host a sports radio talk show in Cincinnati on a station called WLW. That’s pretty cool, right?
- First, I was just browsing around, curious about why Collinsworth wasn’t on TV.
- Then, I found out he took a break for Thanksgiving.
- After that, I got into his history and found out about his radio show and his long career.
- Finally, I learned that he’s sticking with NBC, which is great news for us fans.
But here’s the juicy part. Some fans complain about him, but he’s not going anywhere. There were reports from The Athletic, saying he’s signing a contract extension with NBC. And get this, it’s gonna keep him as the lead analyst all the way to 2030! That’s a long time, and I’m here for it.
I even saw some stuff about him mentioning Joe Mixon, who’s now with the Texans. It reminded me of how much he knows about the game. It’s not just about the current players. He’s got this deep understanding of the sport.
So, to sum it all up, Collinsworth just took a well-deserved break, and he’s gonna be around for a long time. I’m glad I did this little investigation. It’s always fun to learn more about the people you see on TV.
My key takeaways from this:
- Collinsworth took time off to enjoy Thanksgiving.
- He has a long history in broadcasting, even before TV.
- He’s extending his contract with NBC until 2030.
- He is good at football.
It was a fun little journey, and I figured I’d share it with you guys. Hope you found it as interesting as I did! And honestly, knowing he’ll be around until 2030 made my day. Can’t wait to hear his commentary for years to come.
