[RealSNR]

Hope SOME network hires this guy. They just got to.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

He'll be headed to FOX soon. NFL Network passed over him for Nessler.

[Scorp]

I liked me some Gus.

[Fritz88]

He'll be headed to FOX soon. NFL Network passed over him for Nessler.

NFL are idiots.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

NFL are idiots.

Dude gus is gonna want big money do you really think the nfl network is gonna hire him for 7 games?

[Thig Lyfe]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Al Michaels should retire and pass the SNF mic over to MC Gus.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

NFL are idiots.

Meh, not really. Nessler is a damn fine choice and was outstanding during the Chiefs MNF game last year. Great hire. Gus will get hired by FOX shortly for more games.

[Thig Lyfe]

Fuck, March Madness will never be the same...

:(

[KChiefs1]

CBS is stupid!

I'm going to miss him during the NCAA's

[DTLB58]

Good, I hope he stays out of the NFL. I don't really care for him.

[RealSNR]

Good, I hope he stays out of the NFL. I don't really care for him.
Do you hate life or what?

[FD]

Goddammit. He needs to get in the booth for one of the primetime games.

[WhitiE]

He the one that wont shut up about the chargers? or am I thinking of someone else?

[teedubya]

He is AWESOME at college hoops. WTF.

[Crush]

FOX needs to kick Joe Buck to the curb and replace him with Gus Johnson.

[BigMeatballDave]

CBS is stupid

[BigMeatballDave]

Good, I hope he stays out of the NFL. I don't really care for him.:spock: Do you hate excitement?

[EricBerryCrunch]

****, March Madness will never be the same...

:(

Absolutely the truth.

[mrbiggz]

Maybe he can get on ABC/ESPN and do some college hoops and football. Fuck FOX, we need him on college bball more than anything

[Basileus777]

Excellent. Now if Showtime gets rid of him I won't have to hear him anymore. He's incredibly annoying for anything other than highlights. Hearing him announce an entire game or an MMA fight makes me reach for the mute button.

Unfortunately thanks to Bill Simmons, liking Gus Johnson has become trendy.

[BigMeatballDave]

Excellent. Now if Showtime gets rid of him I won't have to hear him anymore. He's incredible annoying for anything other than highlights. Hearing him announce an entire game or an MMA fight makes me reach for the mute button.

Unfortunately thanks to Bill Simmons, liking Gus Johnson has become trendy.I'm sorry you like boring stuff...

[Basileus777]

I'm sorry you like boring stuff...

Yeah, not liking an obnoxious announcer who goes crazy over every screen pass and 4 yard run means I like boring stuff. Gus Johnson is a textbook example of trying too hard. Screaming =/ good announcing.

[Ebolapox]

gus is the troof.

[BigMeatballDave]

Yeah, not liking an obnoxious announcer who goes crazy over every screen pass and 4 yard run means I like boring stuff. Gus Johnson is a textbook example of trying too hard. Screaming =/ good announcing.Maybe you would prefer the old days of CBS with Summerall. BOOORRRIIINNNG

[Basileus777]

Maybe you would prefer the old days of CBS with Summerall. BOOORRRIIINNNG

Yeah, not liking Gus Johnson means I like Summerall. Keep going with these retarded assumptions.

Gus Johnson was on CBS' D announcing team anyway, it's not like he did important games. Tough unfortunately he did some Chiefs games.

[RealSNR]

Yeah, not liking Gus Johnson means I like Summerall. Keep going with these retarded assumptions. Gus Johnson was on CBS' D announcing team anyway, it's not like he ever did important games.What you hate SUMMERALL too? He's one of the greatest announcers of all time!

Unless you're jacked up on coke (Johnson) or a wiley old dark chocolatey voice (Summerall) or both (Marv Albert) I really don't want to hear from you

[RedThat]

Excellent. Now if Showtime gets rid of him I won't have to hear him anymore. He's incredibly annoying for anything other than highlights. Hearing him announce an entire game or an MMA fight makes me reach for the mute button.

To each their own. But I disagree.

I thought his commentating made the games more exciting and fun to watch. Im gonna miss him and I really don't understand this move by CBS.

[RedThat]

CBS has made some bad moves over the years. Not keeping Gus Johnson, replacing Greg Gumbel with Jim Nantz. Whoever is in charge of making these moves needs put some serious thought before making a decision. As a fan, I am not pleased one bit.

[veist]

March Madness without Gus is more like March Sadness now.

[Basileus777]

What you hate SUMMERALL too? He's one of the greatest announcers of all time!

Unless you're jacked up on coke (Johnson) or a wiley old dark chocolatey voice (Summerall) or both (Marv Albert) I really don't want to hear from you

Summerall was really bad towards the end. Marv has always been awesome though. Putting Gus Johnson in the same list as those two is pretty insulting to them though.

[RealSNR]

Yeah, not liking an obnoxious announcer who goes crazy over every screen pass and 4 yard run means I like boring stuff. Gus Johnson is a textbook example of trying too hard. Screaming =/ good announcing.What do you think of Mitch Holthus? He does way more screaming than Gus Johnson, yet Chiefs fans like him a lot.

[KcMizzou]

What do you think of Mitch Holthus? He does way more screaming than Gus Johnson, yet Chiefs fans like him a lot.The only thing that annoys me about Holthus is the horrible nicknames and analogies.

[RealSNR]

You know who I'd like to see back? Mike Patrick.

Those old Sunday night games were horrible because of Theismann and Paul Maguire. But Patrick does some lower level college games on ESPN now and he's great.

[RedThat]

What do you think of Mitch Holthus? He does way more screaming than Gus Johnson, yet Chiefs fans like him a lot.

Not only does he scream, but I love his creativity. TOUCHDOWN KAAAAAAANNNSAAAAAAS CIIIIIIITTY!!!!

[BigMeatballDave]

What you hate SUMMERALL too? He's one of the greatest announcers of all time!

Unless you're jacked up on coke (Johnson) or a wiley old dark chocolatey voice (Summerall) or both (Marv Albert) I really don't want to hear from youI'm going to assume you're joking about Sumerall.

[RealSNR]

The only thing that annoys me about Holthus is the horrible nicknames and analogies.True. Forgot about how bad some of those are

[RealSNR]

I'm going to assume you're joking about Sumerall....


Damn kids and your damn music don't know good taste when you see it stupid younger generation and your justin bieber

[RedThat]

Those old Sunday night games were horrible because of Theismann and Paul Maguire. But Patrick does some lower level college games on ESPN now and he's great.

Mike Patrick was sick.

Theismann could never shut the eff up, and always ran his gums and praised every player as if they were some walking God. Annoying. Annoying.

Maguire was alright though.

[BigMeatballDave]

...


Damn kids and your damn music don't know good taste when you see it stupid younger generation and your justin bieberI grew up hearing Summerall. His boring-ass mono-toned voice just grated on my nerves.

[RealSNR]

I grew up hearing Summerall. His boring-ass mono-toned voice just grated on my nerves.So did I. When I was 10 years old my secret dream was to have Pat Sumerall's job. Just sit up there doing Packer/Viking games outdoors in the middle of December.

Except Madden. I wouldn't have Madden. I would have Suzy Kolber. Yeeeahhh... Suzy Kolber.

This

[KcMizzou]

March Madness without Gus is more like March Sadness now.Seriously, that's a huge loss. His excitement is infectious.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Not only does he scream, but I love his creativity. TOUCHDOWN KAAAAAAANNNSAAAAAAS CIIIIIIITTY!!!!

Yeah Kevin Harlan used that "creativity" first. I actually don't care for Harlan but Mitch didn't exactly invent that in KC.

[KcMizzou]

Yeah Kevin Harlan used that "creativity" first. I actually don't care for Harlan but Mitch didn't exactly invent that in KC.Harlan was awesome for the Chiefs. Holthus has done great too.

(again, other than the terrible nicknames and absurd random analogies.)

[GordonGekko]

I always liked Kevin Harlan, but Gus Johnson is easily 2nd, easily. Jim Nantz is the guy I can't stand, or Mike Tirico.

Report: Gus Johnson still could stay with CBS

Posted by Mike Florio on May 5, 2011, 11:59 PM EDT

Earlier today, Richard Deitsch of SI.com reported that play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson has left CBS.

Now, Bob Raissman of the New York Daily News calls Deitsch’s report “premature.”

Raissman reports that, as Deitsch reported, Johnson’s deal with CBS has expired. Raissman reports that Johnson has received an offer from FOX to handle NFL and Pac-12 play-by-play duties. But Raissman also reports that the offer from FOX has not yet been presented to CBS, and that CBS will have one week to match it.

Raissman fails to explain whether Johnson is contractually obligated to give CBS an opportunity to match, or whether Johnson is merely shopping the FOX offer.

Given the conflicting reports, it would make sense for Johnson or his agent to set the record straight sooner rather than later.

[Pitt Gorilla]

I always liked Kevin Harlan, but Gus Johnson is easily 2nd, easily. Jim Nantz is the guy I can't stand, or Mike Tirico.Harlan is THE best.

[RealSNR]

I always liked Kevin Harlan, but Gus Johnson is easily 2nd, easily. Jim Nantz is the guy I can't stand, or Mike Tirico.Tirico is awful. Yet he covers all kinds of ESPN sports, not just football. It boggles the mind.

[milkman]

I miss me sum Howard Cosell

I miss Charlie Jones.

To me, his play by play was the best ever.

[DMAC]

If I could, I would hire Gus to commentate my life.

[Dayze]

Announcers I like:
Gus Johnson
Brad Nessler
Herbstreit
Al Michaels
Todd Blackledge (...yeah...I know)
Verne Lundquist
Gary Danielson
Charles Davis

Announcers who should eat an AIDS burger with Cheese:
Joe Buck
Daryl Johnston
Dan Dierdorf
Joe Theisman
Randy Cross
Ian Eagle
Paul MacGuire
Jim Nantz

[ceebz]

Never cared much for Gus. His sensationalism is very distracting. Definitely not looking forward to him calling the fight this weekend.

[lcarus]

Summerall was really bad towards the end. Marv has always been awesome though. Putting Gus Johnson in the same list as those two is pretty insulting to them though.

Well you seem to be one of the very few who doesn't like him. If I had to choose between Marv, Summerall, and Gus Johnson...I'd choose Gus every time.

[Extra Point]

Harlan is THE best.

"OH, BABY! What a post!"

[Braincase]

I'm at a point now that I imagine Harlan doing all of the Chiefs' games.

[RealSNR]

Remember when Dick Enberg was an old crazy coot who couldn't get anything right but he was still amazing?

Patrick was awesome. He took the fall because of the other 2 stooges. I'd rather him in the MNF booth over Tirico.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Enberg is my all time favorite. Love his voice.

[ragedogg69]

Patrick was awesome. He took the fall because of the other 2 stooges. I'd rather him in the MNF booth over Tirico.

He flushed his career down the toilet with that britney spears non sequiter. His partner made him sound likea moron.

I agree tho, patrick is a solid pbp guy.

HE. IS. AWFUL.

OHHHHHHHH MY!!!

[|Zach|]

Without any exaggeration or message board hyperbole I can honestly say Summerall's call of the Mizzou's Cotton ball game against Arkansas was by far the worst announcing I have ever heard. It was a total embarrassment.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Dick Enberg is the Padres play by play announcer.

HE. IS. AWFUL.

Well yeah, now that he's eleventy billion years old.

[Buck]

The Padres had a player named Everth (pronounced Ever-eth) Cabrera last year for the entire season and Dick Enberg called him Efren the entire season.

You are correct, sir.

It was just one notch below post-stroke Dick Clark still doing New Year's Rockin' Eve.

Anyone see Gus on Tosh.0?
