Cris Collingsworth Consummates His Torrid Love Affair with Pat Mahomes on Live TV

There have been many examples over the years of a broadcaster falling madly in love with a professional athlete on the air.

Sometimes it can even be an entire network, as is the case with ESPN and their dark obsessions with Brett Favre or Tom Brady.

Apparently, Cris prefers them young and nimble.
