Collinsworth Apologizes For Comments Made During Broadcast

NBC's Cris Collinsworth publicly apologized after "facing backlash for saying he was 'blown away' by some women’s knowledge of football" during yesterday's broadcast of the Steelers-Ravens game. Collinsworth tweeted, "I made reference to a couple of women that I met in Pittsburgh who so impressed me with their football knowledge that I wanted to tell their story on the air. I know the way I phrased it insulted many. I’m so sorry." He added, "I’m sick about insulting any fan, but especially female fans and journalists. I know first hand how much harder they have to work than any of us in this industry. I was wrong and I deeply apologize" (N.Y. POST, 12/3).
