Re: Sport Announcers
SmootSmack:
If you recall - and liked - Jack Buck and Hank Stram, you probably also remember Curt Gowdy and Al Derogatis from AFL days. They were good too. I notice that no one here has mentioned Larry Michael... For those who are convinced that all the announcers in the world hate the Redskins, I'm surprised that Michael isn't at the top of their list for greatness. If he had called the 73-0 loss to the Bears back in the 40s, he would have attributed it to a couple of balls bouncing the wrong way and three questionable calls by the officials...

Re: Sport Announcers

Gowdy was good (at both football or baseball), but he never tried to hide his support for AFC teams when he did games featuring an NFC/AFC match up. |

Re: Sport Announcers
I'll take Buck, Aikman from what's out there these days and if we're talking football, of course.
The worst I could imagine would be Joe Benenati doing play by play with Adam Schein. Talk about a fake voice field day. |

Re: Sport Announcers
Buck and Aikmen are currently the best pair IMO.

Re: Sport Announcers
Yeah I don't see what others see in Collinsworth. He seems to be everywhere and I am not looking forward to hearing him--Maybe Al Michaels is good enough for both of them on Sunday nights. Aikman is very fair and clear; I enjoy listening to him do a game. I always thought Dick Enberg was a good play by play guy--he and Merlin Olsen was good together.

I think he was pretty good on FOX pregame. Mostly because JB, Terry and Howie made him eat his words when he made an ass out of himself. In the booth there is no one to censor his idiocy.

Re: Sport Announcers
There aren't many guys that I don't like, but I never have been able to handle Cris Collinsworth. He's terrible. I can't listen to him. Also, I don't like having Siragusa on the sidelines, or anywhere a microphone, for that matter.
People I like: Joe Buck, Tim Ryan, Al Michaels,...I can't think of anymore off the top of my head, but I'm sure thare are some |
