Name your favorite announcers in any sport

[bradthebloke]

Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler

[TheGambler]

Without a doubt, when I hear Keith Jackson it can only make you think of college football. love that guy!

[Redscot]

Scully is in a league of his own, amazing really and he is no spring chicken.

Mets crew is the best rounded IMO.

I also like Hubie Brown in hoops (he knows the game), definitely not for his velvet smooth voice.

Clyde is a sleeper in hoops too. When you get past his swishing and dishing, he actually has a lot of depth in his analysis and feel for where a game is going.

[King Mayan]

[I/O]

Probably the best thing that happened to me was going nuts. Nobody knew who I was until that happened.

[Diesel79]

Marv Albert and Jeff Van Gundy

[donnyguru]

Marty Brennemann. Still bringing the piss and vinegar every day, all day.

[Killer_Demo]

baseball - kruk and kuiper for the SF Giants
basketball - jerry reynolds and grant napier

[unluckysob]

I like to hear Brent Musberger do a game----he always makes reference to the betting line.

[JesseS]

Don't know who he is but the Buffalo Sabres announcer is the best

[jmush]

did i really see someone say joe buck? must have been a joke right?

[Richkas]

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman


If these guys are doing your games then you know your team is the shit

[InTheDrink]

Al michaels
Marv Albert
Steve Kerr
Bill raftery..onions!
Nick Faldo

I think Gus Johnson is the most annoying. His schtick is good for highlight reels but the highlights don't show him using the same antics in a fifteen point game that sounds stupid as hell. the tournament is exciting enough with or without him.

[BRAVES1985]

joe buck was on the radio a little while ago. they asked him why he sounded like he did not sound interested in baseball anymore when he was broadcasting the fox game. he said he doesn't even like baseball and hasn't for a long time he said he's a football guy.


he said something like that

that's y when he does fox games it sounds like someone shot his dog it's because he does not care anymore

[GoCougs!]

Keith Jackson is easily my favorite of all time. He was the voice of college football for years. Nobody has taken his place since he retired.

[trytrytry]

Keith Jackson landslide for me...

[saratoga1927]

Orel Hershiser is the dead nuts as the best color commentator ... he gives you insight to pitching like no other ever has!!!!!!!!

[dngf]

A nice part about growing up in southern California was:
Vin Scully
Dick Enberg
Chick Hearn


To that list I would add:
Al Michaels
Pat Summerall, he was better with Tom Brookshire than Madden
always thought the game of the week with Curt Gowdy and Tony Kubek was well announced.

[Cookie Monster]

Jaime Jarrin
Vin Scully

Dodgers are lucky to have such privileged voices.

[SpreadSniper]

[HOT WINGS]

Keith Jackson Mainstream

Dave Strader and Mickey Redmond for hockey

[JohnGalt2341]

That was painful to watch.

[afrodeschiac]

Brian Sieman

He is the play by play radio announcer for the clippers and he is amazing. I tried to find some audio online, but all I could find were his interviews. He good at those too, but he really shines with play by play. It's too bad the clippers aren't better so that he gets more exposure. I also like that he's classy and that he doesn't exploit the athletes. That's not his style. You can hear his respect for the game and the athletes in his broadcasts.

[astrodomer]

Vin Scully in Baseball for sure

[jahred6999]

Gus Johnson and Mike patrick.

[frostno98]

Kevin Harlan

[robotralph]

UFC's very own, Mike Goldberg for his screwups.

[hawkwind]

Jack Brickhouse

[frankzig]

john mad/ pat sum can make any game seem like fun

[pedro803]

used to like to listen to Doug Collins for NBA before he went back to coaching

[Living The Dream]

Anyone remember Phil Rizzuto and hid wife's lasagna and the way he hauled ass with the first lighting strike nearby?

[BrentCrude]

I have to give this guy his just due because you had to live in the upper midwest from the later 60's to early 80's to know who I'm talking about.OK,pro wrestling is entertainment and not a sport but when you are a kid you don't know that.In order for the whole thing to go off,you needed a great wrestling tv announcer to go along with the production.A guy by the name of Roger Kent on WTCN tv out of Minneapolis that I believe the Mary Tyler Moore was based on was fantastic.He could have been the station's Ted Baxter.Kent had the deep booming voice too.If some network like ESPN got a hold of those old Verne Gagne wrestling shows they would be a hit just listening to Kent.Now as an adult you could read between the lines as to Kent having campy Batman humor instead of taking him so seriously as kids.As it turns out,Kent moved to Lake Vermillion which is big for midwest retirees and is 25 minutes away from me.

Joe buck

[Wrigley]

Vin Scully in his hay day, hope they let him call some of this years world series on FOX as rumor

[Wrigley]

Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler

Heenan and Monsoon were better
