What can you tell me about Cris Collinsworth of NBC's Sunday Night Football?
—Peter Peyton, Boise, Idaho

The former NFL wide receiver played at Astronaut High School in Titusville, Fla., as an All-American quarterback. He competed in college for the University of Florida, where he threw the longest touchdown pass in NCAA history (99 yards), a record that has since been tied.

His NFL career was spent with the Cincinnati Bengals. After that he became a sports radio host in Cincinnati, which was followed by a job as a reporter for HBO's Inside the NFL, from which he steadily worked his way to his current position as a game analyst.

The married father of four says, "I am 52 years old. And I hope at some point in your life you get to do a job, where, when they put up a little description of your job, you still get goose bumps. I [look] at our schedule and I go, 'I am the luckiest guy on the planet.'"
