I know I'm in the minority on this, but I liked Gus Johnson. Commentating is one of those things where if you don't do stuff or sound differently than others, nobody knows who you are. For most people they view that as a plus, yet I saw dozens of complaints when the Chiefs played on Thursday this year that Brad Nessler is a lifeless corpse whose TD calls sound as average as a 1st and 10 draw play for 3 yards. Gus rarely goofed up stats or names, he had energy, and if your team ever made big plays with him making the call, they instantly became far more memorable.
Plus, let's get real. Is going "OHHHH!" really that much worse than Dick Enberg's "Oh my!" or Marv Albert's "YUHS!"
