94WIP morning host Angelo Cataldi has long made known his dislike of NBC analyst Cris Collinsworth. Cataldi welcomed Collinsworth’s Sunday Night Football partner Mike Tirico to his show and asked for reasons he should like the former Bengal wide receiver.
“I love Cris. He’s a friend,” Tirico said. “Here’s what you’d like. You’re still working. You’re going in and working. You never lay it up. Every week, Cris works his ass off. Details. He never leaves a stone unturned. You know why you sometimes don’t like Cris? Because he tells the truth.”
“I dunno. Maybe I don’t like him because he seems one-sided against my team,” Cataldi admitted.
“You know what’s funny? There are 31 other fan bases that feel the same way!”, Tirico said. “We’re six weeks into a partnership. You think I’m gonna come on the show and trash my buddy?”, the Sunday Night Football announcer joked.
Cataldi concluded the interview by asking Tirico what the better story is for NBC, and he said the Eagles being undefeated when they play the Packers in a few weeks would be good, but he was about to be on a show in Dallas and would say the exact opposite statement.
