After Game Ending Safety, Collinsworth says, I Cant Believe What Just Happened to Me"

durito · 08-23-10, 11:50 AM

I had +3.5 -130 and +.5 -110 2nd half. Didn't see it though.

video?

whatsgood5 · 08-23-10, 11:58 AM

Is there a vid of this anywhere? Not questioning you or anything as I've seen others talking about this, just wanna hear it myself...

Ninersnut · 08-23-10, 12:01 PM

It is so obvious about their gambling that you can hear this through out the year. It was really obvious when Kornhiser was doing it. It sways their announcing of the game. But since I don't really care what they have to say it doesn't bother me. It still shocks me that the NFL doesn't put a gag order on these guys during the broadcasts.

How much Vikings +3 did he have? Enquiring minds want to know.

How do you think Ziggy is going to pay for Favre's extra 7 million blunder? Best way is to tank games in preseason.

I had a sick 2nd half bet at +.5 -115 also. Knew it was a loser. Whenever I beat the closer by more than 20 cents its a guaranteed loss.

masr · 08-23-10, 12:32 PM

I had +3.5, I had it won. I didnt see what happen till the clock hit 0:00, then I realized what happen

tim0402 · 08-23-10, 12:32 PM

michaels said it not collinsoworth but anyway that was funny

blackbeSSt · 08-23-10, 12:35 PM

yeah i don't know if collinsworth saying "to me" was referring to him or not. i think it was just in general about people who had the vikes +3

but heres a better version

Jimmy Proffett · 08-23-10, 12:42 PM

lol that's funny stuff! Al took a hit on that, you can tell

MC PICKS · 08-23-10, 12:45 PM

No doubt these guys bet games. Not playing the sport anymore so they;re exept from the stiff guidelines the players have to go by.

rgbraves · 08-23-10, 12:45 PM

It was great. Michaels always makes comments late if the game or total is close to the spread

tim0402 · 08-23-10, 12:46 PM

who is more obvious mussberger or michaels?

SBR Lou · 08-23-10, 12:50 PM

That's not what Collinsworth said.

He said, "there are some people happy, not so happy".

Al Michaels: 'There are some going I can't believe what just happened"

Collinsworth: "...to me."

Al Michaels: "or for me."

He was just exchanging banter about the general gambling public. Not sure why you'd take his words so far out of context.

Iceman · 08-23-10, 12:53 PM

Wow amazing that they actually know the preseason spread enough and were keeping their eyes on it that close. Not like this came to them 5 minutes after the game was over but instead the second it happened.

Not to NFL: see that wasn't so painful now was it? Why can't we just get over with this and move forward? EVERYONE knows about it, especially if 2 old announcers know this, whats the big deal?

tim0402 · 08-23-10, 12:56 PM

thanks lou for mentioning what was really said thank you sir

I still interpret that as Collinsworth having lost...

all he was doing was finishing his sentence, dont think he bet the game

JayTrotter · 08-23-10, 01:04 PM

when can we put the sportsbooks in the stadiums?? Betting makes sports better. How many people would watch without it?

I just hope Al was feeling bad for Brandon Langonator.. 1-4 in preseason! already in midseason form, can't wait til he throws out some 100 dime prayers this year! If anyone wanted to make a lot of money, they would embrace gambling instead of treating it like a big scary monster that would destroy the integrity of the game... People love to lose money on football players, let them! The NFL commish is too worried about Rothlisberger's tawdry sex life...

JayTrotter · 08-23-10, 01:06 PM

preseason football is made for betting. The experts should be forced to bet their picks! do you think that would make their selections better?

spot on. thanks for typing it all out so i didnt have to

Mattn3236 · 08-23-10, 01:24 PM

Screwed me. It was break even. Instead down for the week.

CINCINNATI KID · 08-23-10, 01:29 PM

lou , collinsworth took a loss on that last play, there is no doubt.

RageWizard · 08-23-10, 01:29 PM

Just because the commentators are making cryptic comments about the gambling line doesn't mean that they are actually gambling. They can argue that they are just keeping track of the lines. Also, the only people still watching that game until the very end are gamblers. Its the NFL little secret that they can't admit to. Nobody will watch a game with ST. Louis vs. Buffalo except the gamblers.

Musburger by far.

Dark Horse · 08-23-10, 02:23 PM

Sportsbetting is extremely popular at ESPN. But I doubt that many announcers would be unprofessional enough to bet on games they were announcing.

Michaels often makes betting related comments, because he knows it makes him popular with a large section of the crowd.

lyon804 · 08-23-10, 02:42 PM

I was watching last nite at the end and have heard other similar exchanges in the past with the commentators questioning the ending of a game. I have heard the commentators say...Hmmmm, the total was "48" and they run it in one last time or somebody fumbled.

Or the fans of that team......Which is usually the case cause St. Louis vs Buffalo isn't going to be a nationally televised game. if your watching it A. your a local and that's your local team or B. you have direct tv and they already in essence have your money. Sure the NFL promotes gambling, fantasy football is just as big as a contributor to that. That's the "legal" way of gambling tho. Hypocrites if you ask me.

CrimsonQueen · 08-23-10, 02:58 PM

If anything, it actually sounds like he won. You know why I'm laughing! Some happy - is the first thing said... and he's laughing a sigh of relief it sounds to me. IF HE bet on it at all. Which I'd say he didn't 70%, he won 20%, he lost 10%.

Not the first time either once he made a horriable sound at the end of the mnf game when one team scored late in the game and then said that made it go over it was clear who had the under cause i remember it so well because i had it too and was upset !!!!!!!!!
