Mike Patrick is the worst announcer ever, he doesnt have a better sport, he is just as bad at football as he is at basketball. and by bad I mean, he doesnt even sound like he knows what the fuck sport he is watching

I hate him so much, he is worse than every other announcer combined.


FUCK.MIKE.PATRICK.

I like him. He and the other guy (not bob davie) that used to do the night SEC game on ESPN were the heat.

I know it's radio, but how have John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman not been mentioned yet? They make me want to rip my ears off.

It's a national travesty that NBC no longer does baseball. Bob Costas should be the voice of the playoffs, World Series, and any big late season games. Not to mention, NBC doing baseball means no more Tim McCarver.

Euker is Costas color man, so he's cool. At least he acknowledged that he was corny, unlike McCarver who thinks he's saying novel, intelligent things.

if passion is the most important thing, then hire some random fans to just scream over microphones instead of hiring announce teams. dick vitale yelling "OOOOOOOOH! OOOOOOOH!" every time some ugly white guy at Duke hits a layup contributes nothing and that's all he does.

He used to be the color man for NBC's MLB broadcasts, did you not watch the World Series until 2001 or so? I can't say I've listened to many Brewers games, so sue me.

that's like saying he's an actor who moonlighted as an announcer and commentator


foremost, he's an announcer

He's not a Bob Costas. That's the bottom line.

Even though he is a UNC grad, I am a big fan. I wish he did more sports.

Why is this so far-fetched? He is still early in his career and off to a great start.

I can't believe that the whitest-sounding black dude in broadcasting is getting so much love from you all. I'm not a fan of Gus Johnson at all. I also can't stand Kenny Alberts, any woman with a microphone at a sports game other then Erin Andrews, Dan Dierdorf, and too many Raycom announcers to name.

I'll chime in on hockey announcers, cause there's lots of really good ones. Starting with the best:

Rick Jeaneret
Mike "Doc" Emerick
Darren Pang
Gary Thorne
Bill Clement
Peter Forslund

The worst hockey announcer by far is Pierre Maguire with Tripp Tracy a distant second.

^^its John Forslund damnit...and yeah, he's awesome. If hockey had a MNF-type broadcast in America, I think he would be one of the top candidates for calling it...although i guess they do with the VS national game on Mondays, which he often calls.

Who I like:
-Bill Raftery for sheer hilariousness and he seems like just a great guy
-Verne Lunquist has that big-game feel to his voice, Jim Nance also sorta has the same effect to me.
-Brad Nessler and Todd Blackledge doing college football
-GUS JOHNSON, no explanation needed

Maybe he's talking about

James Solomon "Big Jim" Nance (December 30, 1942 – June 17, 1992) was an American collegiate and Professional Football fullback with the Boston Patriots during their days in the American Football League.

Hearing Nantz's voice and seeing Augusta kind of gives me a boner

His basketball work doesn't do much for me, though

joe buck is good for baseball, not for football...a lot of folks were a bit puzzled by his call of david tyree's miracle catch in the super bowl a few years ago like it was a 5-yard out pattern.

Similar to Keith Jackson's call of Vince Young's score

Granted, he was 93 years old

that's the one call that always sticks out in my mind as terrible announcing (vince young td tun)

i had to double check and make sure i saw the clock right, and you know, that it was in fact the national championship

This.

I don't even watch games he calls anymore, because I hate him so much.

Len Elmore is really, really good. All the Fox NFL announcers are awful.

But, the best of all time is Darrell Waltrip! BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY

Musburger is really slipping

That national championship game was like listening to a guy who had never done that before. Never called the down and distance, got player's name wrong, the score wrong.

But I loved the Tostitos line

Down and distance calls are overrated. Like I can't see the yellow line and big ass score bug.


But him yelling "TOUCHDOWN" when the Oregon guy was tackled at the 6 was pretty bad.

Oh, man I forgot about that

As soon as he said it, I was like, no one says that then, this isn't going to work. When the guy went down I nearly choked on all the Tostitos.

Oh, I forgot about Mike Tirico. I was very sad when he quit doing college football. He was like NC State's personal announcer during the Rivers years.
