LOS ANGELES — NBC's Cris Collinsworth has watched so much NFL video in his career as his network's top color analyst that it could be calculated in years. Counting his career as a Cincinnati Bengals receiver, you could wrap the globe in all the film and video he's seen.

Collinsworth entered the NFL in 1981, when the Bengals ended the season with a Super Bowl loss to San Francisco, and retired in 1988 after a second loss to the 49ers on the NFL's biggest stage.
Still can't bear to look.
