Ok yeah, Gruen is a terrible analyst. Very poor, and to repeat my comments yesterday, saying Alex Smith should be in the pro bowl makes anything LaVar Ball has ever said look like it came from Mark Twain. There are at least 10 NFL QBs I would take over Smith, and in fact Gruen will be coaching one of them next year.
BUT.....
Chris Collingsworth is even worse. A smarmy, condescending, disingenuous guy who over-hypes the most average players every game. He is a know-all who thinks his opinion is the only one that matters and the inly problem with football is that he is not running it. Even the great Al Michaels can't cover for him. He is by far the worst TV sports analyst I have ever heard, from any country.
Collingsworth is the only TV commentator that has forced me to stop watching a game and watch something else instead. He grates on me that badly. Great example last night, he described one DB as "the best third down secondary guy against a mobile QB in the league". What a moron.
