    Al Michaels = best US sports broadcaster ever

    This guy is wired in, boys. He knows the line move better than u.

    He's arrogant as fu-ck. But for good reason...he's the best!

    colinsworth believes all the hype about him.

    so many people call him awesome for some reason and he buys right into it.

    Not one to throw around terms of the day but he pretty much defines douchebag.

    Al Michaels is certainly up there in my opinion as well. Probably top 5 of all-time. Costas is decent too.

    agree may be some worse local announcers around the country but as far as big time broad casters he is the absolute worst

    Jim Nantz is the best broadcaster simply because he can make golf interesting to watch

    Opie, I've heard good things about the ESPN book. Really busy right now though so I'll hopefully try to read it during Christmas break.

    In football, I have to go with gravel-voiced, RED, "The Galloping Ghost," GRANGE!
    He had a ideal football broadcaster's voice.

    Anyone that remembers his broadcasting, is older than dirt. Anyone who remembers his playing, is supposed to be dead!

    In my opinion Michaels is the best in Baseball and NFL (Sadly he doesn't do baseball anymore)
    Brett Mussbruger for College Football and College Basketball
    Bob Costas (All Time Best) for any studio type show before, after, during an event.

    Marv Albert is the worst by far, I mute the games he does, and Jeff Van Gundy sucks some massive c0ck too, he looks like a chemistry teacher.

    Anyone who is claiming someone is the worst broadcaster CLEARLY never caught a game on NFL network when Bryant Gumbel was the broadcaster. Even now the NFL network games are some of the worst as far as accuracy and not being morons (implying that they are, in fact, morons).
