Harlan, Nantz and Al Michaels are my favorites
Joe Buck and Collinsworth hate is funny IMO. Both are really good.

For any sport, it would be Gary Thorne and Bill Clement.

Football I'd go with Michaels, Gifford, and Dierdorf.

Queerdorf can die in an AIDStree fire.

I don't really get why people like Olsen. He's not insightful or entertaining and spends way too much time openly rooting for teams. He's not very different from the current Romo tbh. He was bad in the Superbowl last year.

Heh. One of my best friends absolutely loathed Dierdorf. I never really understood why. But anytime we watched a game he was calling I was sure to hear the words "**** you Dierdorf!" yelled about a dozen times. LMAO

And it’s not really close. Another one that I always liked was Gus Johnson.

Now for old school ones, I always liked Summerall and Madden and Keith Jackson for college football.

**** buck and uh uh uh and Aikman

What is with the Buck love in the article?

Harlan is the best.

Olsen is annoying.

2022 MNF's crew was my favorite.

I have Joe Buck ranked at No 1 for swallowing Aikmans babies. They suck ass as a team.

Yeah, Harlan's the man.

That said, Ian Eagle is really good. Charles Davis is less bad than he used to be. I'd have Harlan/Green at 1 and Eagle/Davis at 2. And if Olsen could just stop bitching about flags thrown or not thrown he'd be really good as well.

But as it stands I just can't handle his calls because you know he's going to spend 1/3 of the broadcast creating a narrative around the refs.

Olsen and Aikman miss stuff that clearly contradicts what they say.

DJay23 01-28-2024 08:16 AM

It's all about as subjective as something gets of course. People loved John Madden but I couldn't stand him. Everyone seems to hate Joe Buck's guts but I think he's fine.

I've always liked Collinsworth, but not long ago I noticed something I hadn't before. He will take something that JUST happened and make it sound like it's been going on all game long or will happen non stop the rest of the game. For example if a defense stuffs a run after giving up 5 ypc he acts like the D has been stuffing the run all game. It's like he's not completely paying attention to everything.

Of course that hack job he did on poor Jawan Taylor is unforgiveable, so he's probably #1 on my list of announcers I don't like to listen to.

Kevin Harlan is my favorite though, like most people I think. There's nostalgia there for Chiefs fans of a certain age, plus he's got the cadence down, he knows when to get loud and when to just let the play happen. He's the best.

All I had to do was see Aikman and Buck in the top 5 to know this list is invalid. If I want the audible version of paint drying? Sure.

In an exciting game these are the absolutely last two you want to hear. I'll even take Romos slurping over it. They make an F sharp sound like a B flat

RealSNR 01-28-2024 09:03 AM

Tony Romo needs to go.

And yes, **** Charles Davis

THE PASS IS.... ?

The two worst are Charles Davis and Troy Aikman.
