I was curious who you guys feel are the best sports announcers? Could be play by play guys, color commentators, beat reporters, even other sports if you wish. Someone in the media who brings you sports and you enjoy.
Not really looking for who you hate, but if someone mentions someone you do hate, by all means feel free to tell us.
Mine...
In football right now my favorite guys to listen to are in college football. I really enjoy Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit. Herby is IMO, the best college football guy in the game. Corso just entertains me.
I enjoy Troy Aikman as the color guy and I still like John Madden (I know many hate him). I really loved Keith Jackson announcing college games. I miss him a lot. Pat Summerall is still my favorite NFL announcer. I currently am not crazy about any of the announcers. I suppose I'll disappoint people and say Al Michaels is the current best.
In the studio I really miss JB on Fox. Him along with Howie, Terry, and Jimmy is the best football show out there. I still like Irv Cross, Brent Musberger, Jimmy the Greek, and Phyllis George on the old CBS broadcasts as the best all time. I wish Brent would come back to NFL football.
Some will hate this, but I really like Dick Vitale a lot. He's a total kook, but he entertains me every game he calls.
Baseball, there's no one like Vin Scully.
Oh, and the greatest sportswriter of all time IMO was Jim Murray. The best sports article I ever read was William Nack's eulogy of Secretariat. I posted that on this site if you are curious.
These guys have an impact in our lives and how we learn to love the games. So I was curious as to who you like.
