I'm just going to pretend I only read the first half of the post title, "Collinsworth to leave...", and be happily deluded with that fantasy.
I just can't stand that know-it-all, pompous ass.

Maybe it's his whiney, sniveling, silver-spoon fed persona. He's the reason the you kick sand in the wimp's face. It's not to be mean, it's more instinctual than that.
I think, therefore I am. I think fantasy, therefore I am unreal?

C'mon - there must be a Bungles fan out there somewhere with the answer to this one!

I'm no Bungals fan and I'm sure there are some in here somewhere, but I'll put you out of your misery. The unforgetable David Verser was the Bungals' first round pick the year they took Collinsworth.
And though he wasn't as talented a WR as Collie, he sure is a better commentator. In fact, I can't remember once thinking I wish he were mute.

None that I'm aware of. I just used that as an example of how bad Collieworth is.
