Title: Favorite and hated announcers
Post by: Denver2 on September 15, 2024, 01:52:00 pm
I like Ian Eagle he’s probably my favorite, I don’t mind Joe Buck but he’s always paired with Aikman who slurs his way through the broadcast ( because of the concussions which is sad )

I like Al Michaels just because he’s been sounds long and also think Tirico is great.

Cris Collinsworth is an embarrassment and I cringe every time he speaks.

I’m watching the Saints Cowboys game and Tom Brady sucks but I’m just a straight up Brady hater.

I am pretty happy with all of the professional guys who are there to describe the game but not add insight into the football -- like Al Michaels or Joe Buck or whoever.  Those guys have opinions, but they're not usually the big personalities.

I think that Romo, especially when he was recently retired, was pretty great.  He could essentially call the plays.
Collinsworth is the one who always annoys me.  He says dumb shit, talks a lot, and seems to just give every big-name guy a reach-around for 180 minutes.  It's just not my style.  I'd rather have a more studied and analytical take instead of a cheerleader of quarterbacks.

Kevin Harlan is the best one, and it isn't really close. For both football and basketball

The ABSOLUTE best announcers were the ones that did Jets @ MIA in 1980.  We need to bring back those guys for every game.

I don't even know who is calling the game most of the time.

I agree, who was the PA announcer I heard in the background?

Collinsworth sucks.  I am also so sick of Al Michaels, he needs to retire.

I know it's stupid, but even since I've known that Al Michaels has never eaten a vegetable, and then subsequently seen how he's acted in certain situations (like when a master chef served him a gourmet sandwich on Thanksgiving and he wouldn't even try it), I just can't take him seriously.  I think your taste or your judgement is so bad, that I don't care what you have to say anymore.

Honestly I don't mind most of them. There are times when Romo's appearing like a smartass anticipating a play (and it's hilarious when he gets it wrong), but it's worth it.

I always liked Al Michaels (back to the old MNF football days with Dan Dierdorf and Frank Gifford which I always considered the gold standard of commentary, even more so than Madden and Summerall) and think that he and Collinsworth work well together. I do like Aikman & Moose Johnston's input as well, they seem to dissect and explain plays well from a player's perspective as well as an observer.

I have watched enough games at bars where it was too loud to hear any game or the audio was a different game than the one I was watching I got use to watching without the sound.Sometimes at home I won't have the sound on
