The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears, 27-10, on Sunday Night Football in Week 2.
The way the game was going gave the new NBC broadcast team of Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth a chance to let loose and explore other things as they tried to kill time in the game.
At one point in the game, Cris Collinsworth took the opportunity to jokingly roast the network’s new sideline reporter, Melissa Stark, and tease her about her punctuality. Play-by-play man Mike Tirico pointed out two clocks at Lambeau Field, with one of them pointing to the actual time and the other outside that was set a few minutes ahead.
Collinsworth then chimed in, “And here is Melissa Stark time right here,” as he drew a yellow line over the clock that read 10:06, appearing to point out that his colleague is tardy sometimes.
“So, you just get a little bonus time right there.”
“That is unfair,” while Stark seemed confused by Collinsworth’s remark.
“Wait, what does that mean even mean?” she asked. “That is so rude.”

Tirico asked if Stark has been late to work, she said, “I’m the newbie to the group and I’m always on time.”
Collinsworth then added, “That wasn’t me, that was my doppelgänger.”
Tirico replaced Al Michaels, who is now part of Amazon Prime Video’s “Thursday Night Football” booth with Kirk Herbstreit.
Collinsworth is in his 14th season on “Sunday Night Football.”
