my dream team would be al and brent together..could you imagine the gambling terms thrown around these two during gametime?

daneblazer · 02-13-14, 10:35 PM

Like any sport? As bad as they are, no way Dickie V & Madden aren't on there. Too influential. Maybe Harry Caray, Vin Scully, Keith Jackson, Musberger

...Mike Tirico

Big Bear · 02-13-14, 10:41 PM

Vin Scully, Mark Grace, John Gruden, and Harry Carey.

DAVEYCROCKET · 02-13-14, 10:42 PM

I like tirico and he does a lot of sports no dickie v or madden for me (too annoying) and one of the guys on tnt (reggie or kerr) had pat summerall on their top 4 and he was the most BORING ever

Fukking ginger pissed off because his sister didn't give him no punani..

seaborneq · 02-13-14, 10:44 PM

Madden, keith Jackson, musberger, and al Michaels. Dickie V is annoying and baseball is too much ad lib.

DAVEYCROCKET · 02-13-14, 10:46 PM

what about bill Walton http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykR6WvXbh1M

seaborneq · 02-13-14, 10:51 PM

fratello still doesn't know that dude missed the shot on pass frm k Marshall

Lol.

Eddy Munny · 02-13-14, 10:51 PM

Yeah Mike Tirico is terrible.

I always thought Keith Jackson was overrated, at least during the latter part of his career. He lacked big game enthusiasm, and even his "Whoa Nellie's" started sounding impotent after a while.

Personally, I don't think Cris Collinsworth gets enough credit. I'll always remember his voice calling the Orange Bowl in '95 when Tom Osborne won his first national title. He does great work on SNF too. He's got good energy.

ginger?

wtf

ive been called a lotta shit but never a fukkin ginger

daneblazer · 02-13-14, 10:59 PM

Just two personal favorites of mine, Verne Lundquist & Skip Caray. Reminds me of the fall, football, growing up. When I think college football I think of Verne calling SEC games in the fall.

Vinnie Paz · 02-13-14, 11:50 PM

By buck I hope yall don't mean joe...

Shame no mention of BILL WALTON

Hubie brown anyone??? Mike fratello???? Even van gundy???

Vinnie Paz · 02-13-14, 11:53 PM

Collinsworth is so annoying sometimes...most times actually

Jim nantz fukkin sucks

gauchojake · 02-14-14, 12:17 AM

Chick, Bob Miller, Vin Scully, Al Michaels

Honorable mention to Hot Rod Hundley and Ernie Harwell

Eddy Munny · 02-14-14, 12:21 AM

Cris Collinsworth is good peoples.

I do like Van Gundy for NBA games. He's one of the few who venture outside of typical commentary protocol, and will denounce an official or a league rule on the air, if the call on the floor is unreasonable or ticky tack. He's bold enough to say what every couch potato at home is thinking.

gauchojake · 02-14-14, 12:30 AM

Is this the Mount Rushmore or the dudes I halfway pay attention to while I'm pounding my pud and checking scores

Well it started off as the former, but let's face it, that was too restrictive and had a short shelf life, so it quickly devolved into the latter. You might as well consider this the "commentators you enjoy" thread.

CatHawk · 02-14-14, 12:56 AM

Ok maybe not on Mount Rushmore but gotta have honorable mention for Mike Emerick. Best hockey announcer I've ever heard.

Thread deteriorated as soon as Tirico was mentioned. I hear ya though. I actually enjoy collinsworth and van gundy. Frankly, in LA we are spoiled because we have living legends still calling games.

Emerick is great and I wouldn't fault you for putting him on the MR.

Nice

. The man can get you hyped for any game.

CatHawk · 02-14-14, 01:18 AM

Just my own personal list:

Harry Caray, Mike Emerick, Bob Costas, Al Micheals

gauchojake · 02-14-14, 01:22 AM

The czar of the telestrater is NOT on the mountain.

George blaha for sure. Pistons down 20 with 30 seconds left and this is Blaha. "Stuckey to the rim, count that baby AND THE FOUL!!!' Don't look now folks pistons can cut it to 17 with 29 seconds left!"
