    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
