Bryant Gumbel have to turn sound off when nfl is on nfl network

**Stumpage** · 06-25-11, 06:51 AM

Bobby Valentine on ESPN Sunday MLB...Seriously, just listen to his voice and try not to cringe.....

**Brewers in 7** · 06-25-11, 06:52 AM

Pam Ward by far, whenever she does a college football game i immediately mute the game, she is very hard to listen too

**BarkingToad** · 06-25-11, 07:09 AM

Skip Caray
Dick Vitale
Verne Lundquist
Joe Buck

On the flip side I love Bob Valvano doing basketball, very underrated.

Has anyone mentioned Mike Patrick yet? He's unbearable.

**xxplosive** · 06-25-11, 08:10 AM

joe buck makes me watch games with the sound off

**agharah1** · 06-25-11, 08:27 AM

Joe Buck is unbearable. Nothing says "not an important football game" like Pam Ward. More Brad Nessler, less Brent Musberger please. I don't know much about Joe Morgan, but I liked John Miller for baseball. I'm a Tigers fan, and even I like Hawk from the White Sox.

as for canadian hockey announcers bob cole must die!..... if your not a toronto maple leaf player he has no clue as to the opponent players name

for football i really cant stand brent mushberger and his forced fake laugh ... very suprised to see him mentioned only once in this thread so far

**neverstoppers23** · 06-25-11, 10:28 AM

I really don't have a huge problem with any announcer, I guess shit like that never really bothers me.

**pedro803** · 06-25-11, 11:29 AM

used to hate Bob Costas when he did basketball -- not sure if he does sports anymore -- "here comes Randy Brown into the game, he spends an inordinate amount of time adjusting his shorts"

agreed on Cheryl Miller don't care for her, especially when she gets behind the desk on NBA TV she actually seems condescending toward the other announcers if they are not former NBA players -- yuck

Idk who my top 6 are by i know who my number 1 is..Bill Walton. I hate the the sound of that guy and the way he talks. He also points out the obvious when a play happens. So annoying

**mcaulay777** · 06-25-11, 11:56 AM

It it easy HAWK HARRIALLSON FOR THE SOX or what ever his name is he is the worse not even close.Really the only announcer i have to have the mute button.He made a call last night which i had not hit the mute button yet. it was ground ball to 2nd the guy was flying up the line and he goes easy play too first when you could clearly see he was gonna beat out the throw.HE IS PATHETIC.

Vern Lundquist (guy is a legend, but is so lost now....painful to watch him do the SEC football games on Saturday)

Pam Ward and that other b!tch that ESPN lets announce college football or basketball games. Fukkin horrendous.

**Bigmikesm** · 06-25-11, 11:22 PM

Dont know why everyone hates Joe Buck. I like listening to him and Aikman calling NFL games.

**OnTheRise23** · 06-25-11, 11:30 PM

joe buck tim M.

**Jasonal_98** · 06-25-11, 11:39 PM

I have to disagree on Vern Lundquist. I think he does a tremendous job with the SEC games.

**Reno Paul** · 06-26-11, 09:57 AM

Pam Ward by a mile.
