I do like Papa.  Also, Sean Mcdonough.

 

Buffalo native Don Criqui was one of my all time favorites, especially for Notre Dame and AFC Central games.

Keith Jackson and Verne Lundquist for SEC games.  Lundquist also for golf.

 

Never been a fan of any Alberts or Gumbels.


Papa is also from Buffalo

Don Wittman

 

Don Wittman was one of the most underrated announcers of all time. He did everything exceptionally well and was masterful calling hockey.

Canada had a lot of great sports announcers, some made their way to the US

Absolutely. I love when Chris Cuthbert does games for NBCSN. I wish the Sabres would hire him.

& Merlin Olsen, Curt Gowdy & Al Deragatis, Summerall & Madden. Good Times!

 

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.

  Enberg-Olsen

  Criqui-Trumpy

  Hammond-Maguire

  Charlie Jones-Todd Christiansen

  Pretty much any NBC team as the Bills were ascending during the late 1980's.

radio is so different than TV for play by play
 

Kevin Harlin is #1 on radio play by play followed by the Greg Papa a former CNY guy who is in the SF Bay Area now.

Harlin is excellent. Continuing on a great tradition following Jack Buck and Hank Stram on westwood one radio.
