Theres a couple I can deal with but the majority :{

Gruden , Carl Banks , whoever does a Patriots game ...

Ugh ....
 
What's wrong with Gruden? He's a pretty likeable guy and to say he knows his football would be an understatement. I don't mind hearing him do games.

Trent Dilfer though needs to never do a game again
 
Phil Simms can be added to my list ...

Don't know if I ever heard a live feed from inside a stadium ... maybe it's just late ....
 
Sadly it's too late to change. Society now is conditioned to these blowhards screaming and not shutting up over the game action.

Personally what I wouldn't mind is these stations actually changing up the voices once in awhile. Unfortunately if you make the top FOX/CBS/etc broadcast teams for the NFL and NCAA you almost have a job for life.

Brent Musberger, Chris Berman, Joe Buck, Jim Nantz, etc - no matter if they screw up, or get old, or get stale.....they are up there every single game, every year, for generation after generation. Mix it up.
 
I know he isn't a color commentator but Ian Eagle is so :x I can't watch any game he is announcing. Thom Brennaman too :x :x :x
 
Yes, not everyone who watches sports knows how break to a 1-3-1 zone or knows what a hot read is.

I still don't get why some hate Dilfer and Colinsworth. They really know football and Trent gives football minds a lot of insight into the game. He breaks it down and I love it.
 
you gotta realize that while we know exactly what's going on and we can spot things because we've watched sports for so long, the average fan has no clue about some of the intricacies of the game.
 
i liked jim kaat , phil rizzuto was awesome :lol

clyde i have no problem with in basketball, reggie miller makes my teeth itch ....

there's a couple commentators that i really enjoy listening to... they can be a good addition to the broadcast adding quality info throughout the game.

other times though... some can be unbearable :x :lol
 
Nice hearing Gruden rub himself all night to whatever Peyton does ....
