My least favorite is Bill Walton. Man that guy is so "self-important" I can't stand to listen to him.

My favorite is a local guy named Paul Rodgers that does Louisville basketball/football games. He's one of the best play by play radio guys in the country.

 

Bryant Gumble is terrible. I hate everything about him really. His voice is nasally in a very irritating way, hes a terrible announcer and makes tons of mistakes, etc etc. Anyone else is an improvement.

TBH, I really enjoy Al Michaels. Though all-time I might have to go with Pat Summerall, was so sad when he retired.

 

most: solly wilcox, love this guy. underrated.
least: paul mcguire...im following you down to college chump...ya still no damn good!

team: Jaws, Tirico, and Kornheiser...those guys are bright and with it. for an old vet, jaws is more than tolerable.

 

Al Micheals , Pat Summerall , Madden were all good

 

I like Al Micheals, and have always loved the butt biter, whats his name.......the basketball guy...lol..I cant remember his name. Costas is good too.

I dont enjoy listening to Madden whatsoever, I hate hearing him talk about guys going up the A hole, at all.And Gumble is terrible.

 

Don't have time to go through all of them, but my favorite happens to be the best play by play guy out there. Gary Thorne. I'm not a hockey fan by any means, but I would watch some when he announced for ESPN. He's outstanding at hockey, and every bit as good with baseball. I only wish he did football.

 

Honestly, for play-by-play, I don't think Mike Tirico is that bad. Jaws is excellent at breaking down plays, and he always sounds so excited about the game--something lacking in a lot of announcers today.

 

Yeah I know what you mean, I love Jaws for that. And as much as people poke fun at him, Madden is the same way. You can really hear the passion hes got for the game. Tirico is solid, not great, not bad. Korny im still trying to decide. Like him on PTI, but not totally sold on him in the booth.

Having lived near Buffalo recently in my college years I got a good dose of Steve Tasker. Hated the player, enjoyed the analyst heh.

Still say the best ever was Summerall/Madden team.

 

Bryant Gumbel by far is the worst. never thought i'd hate someone more than theisman.

eric reed and tony farentino (sp?) are awesome.

 

Good call

 

I miss Mike Patrick announcing for ESPN. He and Maguire were great on the old Sunday Night Football, though I hated Theismann. Pat Summeral is another one of my favorites. He and Madden invented "Turducken" and could harp on Jeff Zgonina's cankles for hours on end if they had to. Bryant Gumble is terrible.

 

yep.:up:

 

Best in Football: Al Michaels
Worst in Football: Bryant Gumbel

Best in Baseball: Harry Kalas and Vin Scully
Worst in Baseball: Joe Buck

 

Favorite Play-by-Play: Kevin Harlan. I think he is vastly underrated and always brings excitement to the game.
Favorite Color: Ron Jaworski. I learn something new every time I listen to Jaws.
Least Favorite Play-by-Play: Bryant Gumbal. He should stick to Real Sports, he doesn't fit in the booth.
Least Favorite Color: Tony Kornheiser. Not sure why he has a job.

 

Fav/ Madden
Least fav/ Kornhieser *eew*:glare:

 

The same for me Hun :ffic:

 

Prob Dan Dierdorf.And someone mentioned Bill Walton in Basketball.Oh,Al Michaels too.I think the last time he was excited was when we beat Russia in the Olympics.Those are my least favorite.

 

I LOVE DICK VITALE!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

 

The NFL Network production value is the equivalent of Atari. Announcers are awful but Gus Johnson is by far the worst announcer in the NFL.

The MNF booth without Theismann is excellent. From a pure football mind Jaws is the best. Tirico is good and Kornheiser studies his stuff.

From just a guy who could talk like Madden and i'd still listen to him; i'd go with Joe Buck. McCarver for baseball does his best to bring him down but he's great.

Nobody watches hockey but Versus generally has a very good crew.

 

Are you kidding me? Aside from Jaws, these guys are absolutely HORRRRRRRIBLE (Yeah Bill Walton is also).....

Love Al Michaels...and actaully Love Boomer- No nonesense and good insight

 

Gosh....your such a perv....this is a family forum!
