OZBILLS Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 These are my go to team over the years 1. Cris Collinsworth 2. Booger McFarland 3. Jason Witten 4. Gene Steratore 5 1
CDogg20 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 I can’t stand Joe Buck, I would rather listen to an infant cry. I’d move Marv Albert down the list too but everyone else is about right 1 2
Bubba Gump Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 I can much more easily name my 10 worst Cris Collinsworth Joe Buck Dan Dierdorf Booger Mcfarland Joe Tessatore Rich Gannon Dan Fouts Troy Aikman Jim Nantz Steve Tasker Jason Witten Trent Green Phil Simms Randy Cross Ok, I'll stop now.

Rc2catch Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 I may be in the minority but I really enjoyed madden back in the day. He was incredibly smart but also funny. I hated romo as a player, but he’s by far the best guy out right now. Im also a big fan of Kevin Burkhart? The former Mets guy. Not sure if he does Mets games anymore I don’t have SNY in Tennessee and I don’t watch the Mets much anymore. He’s a good play by play guy though 1
Boatdrinks Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Al Michaels Ian Eagle Kevin Harlan Jim Nantz Gus Johnson Mike Tirico Legacy all time best picks - Dick Enberg, Marv Albert, Verne Lundquist 1

I agree Van Miller set the standard and John Murphy is still terrible. Kevin Harlin is amazing on the radio (Westwood 1), painting masterpieces with his vernacular. (If only Murphy would listen to him..?) He also impresses me with how significantly he tones it down for a tv broadcast, allowing the video to do much of the ‘talking’. A real Pro. Otherwise, they’re all forgettable. 3
Freddie's Dead Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Keith Jackson is the best in my book. 2 1

Like uniforms (unless it’s putrid throwbacks!), announcers are something I pay very little attention to. I like Romo as a color guy, and I guess I like Michaels and Nantz. The rest are just background noise unless I’m curious about something. I know others pay a lot of attention to them, I’m probably the anomaly. Same for me but damn I cannot stand Collinsworth!
thenorthremembers Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Madden was always my favorite. Nowadays I generally keep the sound low enough where I dont have to hear them. 2

(If only Murphy would listen to him..? “Across the painted numbers” I don’t think ESPN would ever fire a crew mid-season. I’d look terrible. But I highly doubt Tessatore and Booger are back next year. They are the worst listen in all of sports (any sport). No idea why they don’t have Steve Young doing the color commentary for those games. He is at the stadiums for the pre, half, and post game shows. He’s well spoken and explains the game well. Not sure who ESPN could bring in to do play by play. Honestly Mike Breen might be a good option (although he does mostly NBA for them). Edited December 5, 2019 by iccrewman112

Buftex Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Honestly I really don't care who the announcers are. There are some (Michaels & Collinsworth, Romo & Nantz) who are much more identifiable, so they give the games a bigger feel........but for the most part, other than info specific to the game I am watching, I really don't care. I am not one who gets easily upset and thinks that certain announcers "hate" the team I am pulling for. I am also not one of those who watches with the sound down... there are a few announcers who are just bad (Joe Buck, the guys who do Monday Night footbal now), but I don't hate them so much that I don't want to hear any sound. There are too many things that go on during a game that are not evident from simply watching. 1

TonyBeets Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Currently Romo is my favorite, by a long shot. 1

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 5, 2019 Posted December 5, 2019 Pat Summerall and John Madden were amazing in the 80’s and 90’s. Keith Jackson for college and locally Larry Munson calling UGA games.
