Cris Collinsworth makes hilariously costly mistake buying fish in Seattle: ‘Per pound?’
Chris Collinsworth learned a costly lesson about buying fish.
The NBC announcer hilariously explained during Thursday’s 49ers-Seahawks game how what he thought was a good Thanksgiving bargain at the legendary Pike Place Market in Seattle instead set him back nearly $1,000.
“I never buy fish. You’re in the market, you say, ‘OK, I’m going to buy some fish, I’m going to take it home for Thanksgiving,’” Collinsworth said during the first quarter of the 49ers’ 31-13 road win. “So I go in there and see the thing, this big fish is there and it says $35. I go ‘Well, that’s pretty good, that’s about the same price as at a restaurant, right, $34.99 right. … I come out and I go, ‘I’ll take two.”
“70 bucks,” NBC play-by announcer Mike Tirico quipped.
“I thought 72 bucks,” Collinsworth said in response.
And here’s where Collinsworth’s purchase went awry, explaining that the total was not as simple as doubling the price listed.
“Eight-hundred dollars! I was like, ‘Per pound?’” Collinsworth exclaimed.
“Key word, per pound,” Tirico responded.
Collinsworth then put a bow on his story.
“But you can’t go back once you said you want two fish,” Collinsworth said while laughing off the situation. “They already got them loaded up.”
Collinsworth’s story provided a highlight in what was otherwise a very one-sided and unexciting game between the 49ers and Seahawks.
Seattle could not get much going offensively against a revived 49ers defense, and the 49ers diced up Seattle’s defense behind strong games from Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey.
McCaffrey rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns, while Samuel had 94 total yards and one rushing touchdown as the 49ers (8-3) took control of the NFC West.
Collinsworth won’t have to worry about buying $800 worth of fish this weekend when he and Tirico head to Los Angeles for the “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the Chargers and the visiting Ravens.

We caught up with the owner, Yasuaki Saito, who told FOX 13 he had no idea his bakery was going to make the list.
“Oh you know they don’t tell you about these sorts of things, they kind of show up in the press. We are very fortunate here. We’ve had some good press over the years…this is another one of those recognitions of the hard work and effort the team puts in every day. We are the type of place that is based in our community, and we make sure the product going out is really great, and we are serving it with a smile.”
Saito says they will be closed for the holidays, so the next time you can check them out will be on Friday, January 3.

Breaking Down Seahawks Playoff Scenarios Heading Into Week 17
After dropping a tough 27-24 contest to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks no longer control their own destiny and to win the NFC West, they will have to have several dominos fall their way beyond simply winning their final two games.
As their first order of business, Geno Smith and the Seahawks will have to travel to Chicago on the day after Christmas and defeat the Bears at Soldier Field. A loss or a tie on Thursday night would not eliminate them from playoff contention, but in that scenario, the Rams would lock up the division by beating the Cardinals on Sunday, making the upcoming rematch between the two teams in Week 18 a non-factor in deciding the NFC West.
But even if Seattle does beat Chicago on the road, however, that will not guarantee the season finale ends up being a winner-take-all battle at SoFi Stadium in the final week. If Los Angeles beats Arizona, they will improve to 4-1 in the NFC West, meaning the worst they can finish for the season is with a 4-2 record, which would tie Seattle after a loss in the season finale.
Along with being equal with that tiebreaker and splitting their head-to-head series, the Seahawks and Rams would both have identical 4-4 records against similar opponents and the same conference record, making strength of victory the next tiebreaker to determine who would win the division. Going into Week 17, Los Angeles holds a nine-game advantage in that category after being Buffalo and Minnesota earlier this year, meaning Seattle will need teams that it beat earlier in the season to step up and win games this weekend to keep them alive in the title race and close that gap.
Specifically, per an official memo from the NFL, the Seahawks will need four wins from Packers, Jets, Lions, Falcons, Broncos, or Dolphins out of six games this weekend to stay in the NFC West hunt if both they and the Rams win in Week 17. In other words, they would need a ton of help from other teams to ensure that the season finale becomes a division title game.
In a more simple pathway to the division title and a home playoff game, if the Seahawks and Rams both lose this weekend, the winner of their Week 18 rematch would be the NFC West winner no matter what else happens around the league.
Considering all of those scenarios and the possibility that the Seahawks may or may not be in contention anymore next week regardless of whether they beat the Bears or not, 12s better buckle up, as the next several days should be quite interesting with playoff races reaching the final stretch during the holiday season.
