Favorite sports announcers

[Immortalfire]

Larry Munson - duh
Dan Kamal - Atlanta Thrashers
Rick Jeanneret - Buffalo Sabres

On the flip side, I can't stand hearing Dave Mishkin, he sounds like a crazy old woman. And on ESPN, Mike Patrick wondering about Britney's life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZUB3eJOTos) was the dumbest thing ever. John "Captain Obvious" Madden is getting pretty bad these days, too.

[Mister J]

I have three:

Gus
F.
Johnson

As amped as I am for March Madness already, if Gus is doing a game, it's off the charts. The man could get over-enthused calling a chess match. It's great.

[Whirlysplat]

Austin Healey

[Showtime]

I don't know who my favorite is, but I can tell you who my least favorite is.

JOE MORGAN

[chuckymack]

Harry Caray, God rest his soul.

[Franklin Richards]

Brad Sham.

Play by play for the Dallas Cowboys.


:thing: :doom: :thing:

[Lobo]

Marv Albert and Clyde :hyper:

[cyborg ninja 14]

Gus Johnson.

[Jerry!]

In no order:

Pat Foley- ex-Chicago Blackhawks broadcaster (again, thanks to Wirtz), current Chicago Wolves broadcaster

Harry Caray
Hawk Harrelson
Steve Stone

[Showtime]

Hawk Harrelson is such a homer!

[Nightmare]

Vin Scully, the greatest

[Jerry!]

So is Caray, but this is favorite sports announcers, not best sports announcers.

[Showtime]

I didn't say your pick was "incorrect", I am just pointing out what a homer that guy is.

[Jerry!]

I don't expect other people to like him, but I refer them to a quote from Shawshank Redemption :

"These walls are funny...at first you hate'em....then you get used to them. Enough time passes you get so that you depend on them."

[Yurka]

My Favorite just died recently, Myron Cope, Pittsburgh Steelers.

[Showtime]

I don't expect other people to like him, but I refer them to a quote from Shawshank Redemption :

"These walls are funny...at first you hate'em....then you get used to them. Enough time passes you get so that you depend on them."

I like it.

[Excel]

Troy Aikmans is the best for NFL imo...who the hell is the radio guy for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? He's nasty.

[Jerry!]

He was the guy with the "MATT BRYANT IS MY HERO!" call right? That was awesome.

[kang604]

Jim Hughson is the best hockey announcer around. period.

marv albert.

i wish barkley would do color more he is hilarious when he does.

i like al michaels.

cant STAND gumbel tho.

[Jerry!]

Until Foley comes back with the Blackhawks.....

Just kidding, I really don't know. All I know is that guy announced for the Hawks for 25 years and Foley and Dale Tallon were some of the best I heard. But Wirtz got rid of him like he does with every hockey icon in Chicago.

[BlackLantern]

Mike Patrick is fantastic, he has simply gotten the shaft ever since ESPN got rid of the sunday night game for MNF. the Britney s**t is tired....give it a rest. John Madden needs to stop it....I hope a plane crashes into that stupid bus of his...grow the **** up and get on the plane John....

[Addendum]

ESPN's Sunday Night Football crew was pretty good. I miss those days

[Scarecrow]

gary thorne calling NHL on ESPN. those were the days :(

[JP]

Michael Kay all the way.

[Immortalfire]

Nope, me neither. :woot:

Pete Van Wieren

[Excel]

Doesn't anyone like Bryant Gumble on NFL network?



















Nope, me neither. :woot:

That epic call when Brady throw #50 to Moss for his #23 that put them ahead in their bid to go 16-0 put him on the bottom of my list...

"Brady.......back to moss.......touchdown patriots..."

:cmad:

[SouLeSS]

Marv and his infamous "Yes!"

[Dodger]

Dont forget the colts radio guy...


"Addai....TOUCHDOWN!!!! - I think...."-"ball spotted on the 2"

[Scooter]

Jim Lampley, Bob Sheridan.

Though, as a lifelong NY Giants fan, one recent call that has permanently branded itself on my memory came from the otherwise unremarkable Joe Buck.

"...39 seconds left...Manning...lobs it...BURRESS...ALONE...TOUCHDOWN NEW YORK!!!"

The rising crescendo of surprise as history was made. I'll never forget that moment. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb3ziO-O8b8)

[kang604]

Marv and his infamous "Yes!"

"and that was, a GORGEOUS move!"

[rdh007]

Lampley, Albert, Scully are all good. Mike Patrick is alright. I'm undecided on Musberger. Overall, I'd say Al Michaels FTW

[Lobo]

In all seriousness.

:up:


The time for him to call it quits is soon though IMO

[BlackLantern]

Jim Lampley is awesome...I love the fact that he does a fair amount of films too and doesn't mind making fun of himself, as in Blades Of Glory. same with Al Michaels(Baseketball)

[E. Nygma]

Harry Kalas (Phillies) a legend

Jim Jackson (Flyers) he's getting there, he's really very good.

And as much as i hate the Eagles, it's hard not to like Merrill Reese, who is brilliant.

Nationally i like Al Michaels a lot because of his diversity in doing EVERY sport. Gary Thorne is great for Hockey too.

Love Vin Scully, Love Bob Uecker

[Immortalfire]

Larry Munson...
