Love Dickie V and Charles Barkley. Dislike Chris Collinsworth.

Also I'm a huge fan of Vin Scully.

Only one with good picks is Kirk Herbstreit. The swami gets the nod for NFL. Miss Madden.

Vitale gets the mute button.

I liked him back in the day with the Bulls title runs and all those Knicks/Pacers barnburners. But not anymore. The teams are different, the players are different and I think he doesnt translate to todays game. If that makes any sense.

LostBankroll · 08-31-10, 03:54 PM

Yea I see your point. I still enjoy him on TNT tho.

1. Dick Vitale-hate
2. Chris Berman-hate
3. Brent Musburger-hate
4. Bill Maas- Was so happy he got fired from NFL games when he got popped for drug possession. Was the absolute worst. Ruined every game he did.

Ryangene · 08-31-10, 03:58 PM

Bill Walton, Chris Berman and John Madden WORST ever.

Kevin Harlan, John Gruden, Charles Barkely GREAT!

CAN'T STAND....and have to watch with the mute button on

Pro Football- Phil Simms (All Time worst was Dennis Miller, close 2nd Tony Kornheiser)
College Football- Lee Corso (Though I love to fade his picks!!)
Baseball- Rick Sutcliffe/Joe Buck
Basketball-Die Dick Vitale Die!!!

And I absolutely despise Stuart Scott

Agree with you on Sutcliffe and Buck. But I like Vitale for college hoops.

My MUTE button is auto for McCarver, in fact, don't remember the last time I had the sound on for any FOX broadcast. Also hit MUTE when I hear Brent Musburger's voice.

I have bought the MLB Radio stream the past 7-8 seasons, and love to listen to Bob Uecker.

Grew up with Gene Elston, a Hall of Fame broadcaster, and also caught Harry Kalas in his very early days when he worked Houston games.

Still think Ernie Harwell was the absolute best for baseball. I envy Tigers fans who got to listen to him for so long.

Willie, Vitale? Really? I think he's the worst in sports, on top of the fact that he's a total ACC homer. I'm in Philly so of course I liked Kalas, though I thought his voice was too raspy and dry. kinda was a turnoff. Loved Uecker in Major League!!

Brock Landers · 08-31-10, 04:16 PM

anyone who LIKES Berman or Vitale as announcers is fukking clueless...

ehp6737 · 08-31-10, 04:22 PM

Oh..and the worst broadcast team has got to be John Sterling & Suzyn Waldman of the Yankees. All of Sterling's stupid nicknames for each player when they hit a homer. Remember when Waldman gizzed in her pants on air when Clemens was in Steinbrenner's box and announced he was coming back during a game. Or when she cries during a postgame show after Torre's last game.

DBurton81 · 08-31-10, 04:46 PM

Gus Johnson is the worst. There is no play in any sport he can't find a reason to scream.
