How bad were Dick Enberg and Randy Cross?

I was at the game so I didn't have to listen to Cross but he is without a doubt one of the top 3 worst announcers in sports.

springs old mans name is ron. and cross is horrible, but i can tolerate enberg. and once you go high def, you never go back

Cross is by far the worst annoucer ever. He definately used, boo birds, jitterbug, kickstand, tripod, yeah...the list goes on...

everyone hates every announcer. i generally don't pay attention to them. how much announcing does CBS/Fox need besides the NFL? that's why they suck, there's only 16 days of work and NO ONE tunes in because of the announcers. Micheals is the best ever (miracle on ice, ali, etc etc - he's done EVERYTHING), but beyond that only aikman really comes to mind.

larry micheals is terrible and whoever wanted to hear riggins and doc instead - john riggins is okay, but not great. doc sucks on games (i've heard him do some college stuff).

jaws and dick vermeil are probably the best guys that aren't in a regular rotation. working for espn though, you won't see they very often at all.

I was a big fan of Verne Lundquist and Dan Fouts in the early 90's. Mike Patrick and Paul what's his name were good too.

College seems to have great announcers. Herbstreit, Fowler, Brent Musberger are all good. But for some reason announcers in the NFL suck out loud.

a lot of college have local announcers that care about the teams or are on espn(/abc), which can afford to hire TONS of full time people and give them other tasks in the off seasons.

You mean Sonny & Sam? Frank got booted for Larry. Frank, BTW was the best of the lot...too bad.

Sam has been incoherent since the late 70's...too many "lead with the helmet" tackles.

Enburg needs to go back to the nursing home.


Cross is a skins hater. Like the rest of the talking head jerks that cover this league, Cross is a big guy on "you can't buy a championship", so he hates Snyder.

I like trading draft choices for proven players. Sure, buying vets is like buying a used car. With the exception that you know who owned the car and you know how it was used.

I hate Randy Cross! He is an ASS!

Lundquist still calls a great game, but I don't think CBS has him in the rotation on Sundays...if they do, I don't usually hear him. He usually does the big SEC game on Saturdays.

Mike Patrick and Mike Gottfried were great, until they were infiltrated by Joe Theismann and Paul Maguire. Mike Patrick is another one who calls a great game.

I can't stand Brent Musberger...not any more at least.

Musberger was great back in the day though on CBS.

"You're looking live at RFK Stadium"!

I was watching the 10 minute replay of the game On Demand yesterday. They use the radio broadcast for the commentary and I have to say that Sonny and Sam are just comical at this point.

On the jones-drew TD pass Curry Burns (#41) took a shot to the head and was on all fours for about 15 seconds before he finally got up. Sam starts yelling, "Cooley was hurt on the play! Cooley got hurt trying to make the tackle! Cooley looks shaken up!" Finally, after about the 5th time he said it, Sonny goes, "Cooley doesn't play defense." He couldn't have sounded more disgusted with Sam.

It reminded me of something my grandmother might say.
