What play by play analysts do you actually like?

It's easy to pick out the guys you hate and suspect of their anti-Chief bias. But who are the guys you feel actually add something to the broadcast? Nobodys perfect but here are some of the people who while not perfect all the time add a little insight.

Phil Simms- IMO is one of the best out there. Yesterdays game for example, he did a great job of balancing out commentary for both Chiefs and the Chargers. Very objective and didn't fawn too much over any one player.

Dan Deirdorf- I think Dan has good insight on things developing on the line of scrimmage. An ex offensive lineman who has good commentary on his field of expertise. Other than that he can be kind of an ass sometimes. Justifying Romo spitting in the face of another player was his low point.

Bill Maas- Whenever he's done Chiefs games on Fox that I've seen he's been biased toward the Chiefs and I love that.

John Madden- Yeah he's been losing it but when he's not proffessing his crush on Brett Favre or prattling on and on about turduckons or other things that have nothing to do with football I think he does a great job.

He's not very popular, but I've always liked Dierdorf.

I hate listening to Madden, hes dumb and annoying. Stuart Scott should be an analysts. I dont mind listening to Aikman and Daryl Johnston or um JC Pierson. Simms is good.

**Skip Towne** · 10-31-2005, 04:07 PM

Boom!!! John Madden.

Thank God Emeril isn't an announcer, although Bill Maas is pretty close. I like how Bill Maas throws himself into game calling.

Anyone but one of the Sharpes! "I like what I'm seeing on the History Channel!" the next time he calls a game, when there's no game on any other channel, or the the Fox is calling the Chiefs game.

Stuart Scott is annoying. I can't stand him doing the highlights. Stop calling the QB the playa and the CB intercepting the ball the playa hata.

Swanman · 10-31-2005, 04:22 PM

I gotta tell ya, I've really liked what I've seen from Sterling Sharpe.

Hahaha, I think its funny when he does that. Of course I can understand it getting annoying if a person hates hearing those slang words.

**Rain Man** · 10-31-2005, 04:27 PM

I'm with the others on here in liking Dierdorf. He's my favorite of the color announcers.

Michaels is top-notch on the play by play, and I use to love the pre-game show when Costas did it. Did he ever do any games?

I think Collinsworth and Boomer are good analysts, though I don't know if they do games.

We need a list. I'm having trouble remembering who does play by play.

ChiefsGirl · 10-31-2005, 04:29 PM

I like Darryl Johnston.

Collinsworth is an opinionated bigmouth. Even the other announcers don't like him.

So Deion Sanders and Shannon Sharpe don't like him?

I think I like him more now.

**Bowser** · 10-31-2005, 04:42 PM

I have always enjoyed Kevin Harlan's calls.

I like how Maas gets into the game. He is a good analyst.

And I know it's not the popular opinion around here, but I have always liked the trio of Patrick, Theismann, and McGuire. None of them may be good individually, but I like the calls they have as a group. They work well together. Makes me wonder how well Al Michaels and Joe Theismann will work together.
