Worst Sports Commentator of All Times

[Richard_white]

Bill Walton

Got to love his sound bites

WPS

[Suidae]

Bill Walsh was a torture to listen to as an analyst.

[Broken Trigger]

Trev Alberts.  The guy is so obvious about his animosity toward Houston Nutt.  He is like an elementary school kid that is trying to get attention by dissing his classmates, only he is making 6 figures. 

[mword]

Brent Musburger - when CBS let him go a long time ago, he should have stayed gone.

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

I'm sorry.  I can't take it anymore.  Chris Berman is DONE.

He was GREATNESS before.  Now, he is just a beating.  If I hear that "waaap!"  one more time.....ahhhhhhhhhhh.  Need some new blood ESPN, you are DYING!

[WhenPigsFly]

From this list it's gotta be D. Rowe.  He has been terrible FOREVER!!!  He even used to do the SWC Raycom games.  Barry Booker is a major suck also, but he hasn't had as many years to grate on me.  Close behind is J. Dean Jr., and Cliff Ellis gets an honorable mention after only hearing him one game.  Hmmmmm......all these guys are JP announcers.  Is there no competition AT ALL for these jobs???

[geoffhog]

Worst overall-Barry Booker. The worst single game performance goes to Cheryl Miller for the Ark-Texas game in Austin when Nolen walked off the court. She was awful.

[ThisLittlePiggie]

Lee Corso is an absolute retard. And he looks just like Mel Brooks, so you know he's a nut. Could somebody help me out with a picture of the two?, don't know how to do it myself, just take a look for yourself, a retard.

[thehill1414]

Brent Musburger is awful. He is the biggest suckup to Bob Stoops that I know. I hate him

[pignuts]

Brent Musberger, he makes a game seem really boring, cant stand to listen to him. Mike Patrick is one of my favorites

[stronguard]

Joe Theismann is by far the most annoying human being on the planet.  I wish Carl banks had broke his jaw instead.

[Mark_Freeman]

so we dont like musberger or al michaels but we can stand billy [CENSORED] packer and im drunk bill curry? i listen to those two and want to vomit. musberger and michaels are fine by me, besides, if you can listen to michaels '80 olympic call, "do you believe in miracles, YES!" and not get chills, you are not human.

[Richard_white]

Joe Theismann is by far the most annoying human being on the planet.  I wish Carl banks had broke his jaw instead.

Wasn't it Lawrence Taylor that broke his leg?

[stronguard]

Lawrence was on the other side and he is the one who called for the doctors to get out there, but it was Carl banks who actually broke his leg.

Yes.  And I agree.  That Sunday Night crew are a bunch of IDIOTS

[Richard_white]

Good call, thanks I thought it was LT that broke his leg all this time..+1 (stronguard)

Yeah, good call.  I knew I liked you when you got here.  Razorbacks4life, too.  WPS.

Come to the TAVERN

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

You guys are wrong. It was Taylor who broke Theisman's leg.

The video is here...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dx2lhnl3CdQ&search=theisman

Watch the reverse angle, about 3/4 of the way through that. Carson whiffed on Theisman is laying on the ground. Taylor jumps, catches Theisman with his left hand and then lands on Theisman's right leg.

Ahh yeah..it hurts sooooo good..

[Hog in MO]

Dan Dierdorf, Todd Christenson, Brent Musberger

All act like every play is something they have never seen before, overdramatic.  Voted for the king of them all Dave Rowe.

You beat me to it - Brent Musberger gets my vote.  From your list though I had to go with Dicky VEE BABY!!!  He's a novelty that has long since lost his appeal.  I wonder if he gets his pay check directly from Duke now or if they still launder it through ESPN.

Eric Dickerson

[Richard_white]

Harry Carey

God Bless him but man, I hated when he had to clear his damn throat.
God forbid when the camera was on him.
Cubs Win Cubs Win

[Woogie]

Today's sober version of Harry Caray... the one, the only, Keith Jackson (not ARSN color commentary Keith, BTW).  He has turned into such a west coast homer that you cant even enjoy a game that he calls. 

[berryhog]

Harry Carey

"He kisses her on the strikes, she kisses him on the balls ".  What's not to like about that ? 

[Foots]

Wanna know whats worse than Dickie V? A Dickie V wannabe. That's Bill Raftery. "Tickles the twine!". "A nickel dimah!". That gets on my nerves. He is the worst color analyst ever!

[FLKeysGuy]

Harry Carey

Nah, Harry was an icon!  I have a video tape of a game I attended...  I sent a note up to the pressbox to give a 'shout out' to my 'boyz' at the U of A when I was a student... Harry read my name on WGN and even gave a nice plug for us, "...from the University of Arkansas".  Then proceeded to try and pronounce my name spelled backwards!!!  "Strike two on Dunston" was the next thing he said.  It's priceless!!!

[the donger]

Bill Raftery in a landslide(Dicky V. wannabe).

[Ugly Uncle]

Bill Raftery in a landslide(Dicky V. wannabe).

Skip Carrey has the worst voice.  He knows the game...but who can stand to listen to him?

[HairyHog]

There are so many to deserve that honor, but if I can only choose one... Bill Walton.

[FBI]

i saw cheryl miller earlier i have to go with her

[whatsshakinbacon]

Worst overall-Barry Booker. The worst single game performance goes to Cheryl Miller for the Ark-Texas game in Austin when Nolen walked off the court. She was awful.

I remember Cheryl in that game like it was yesterday.  Bad doesn't begin to describe her work that day.  I was shocked she ever picked up any more work after that miserable performance.

By the way, my votes for Walton - he just seems so dang arrogant.

Bacon out...

[94 Hawg]

Tim Mc Carver in baseball

"...and the reason for that is..."

[ThisLittlePiggie]

An all star list of bad announcers/color analysts/commentators. Only qualification...they have to still be living. In no particular order:

Dick Vitale
Bill Raftery
Billy (fudge) Packer
Michael (the king's English) Irvin
Clark Kellogg
Sean (Sleepy) McDonough
Tim (shut the hell up) McCarver
Joe (look at me, I'm a star) Buck
Mike (frosty cold one) Shannon
Al Hrabosky
John (the mad telestrator) Madden
Dave (look at their hands on their hips-they're tired) Rowe
Bill Walton
Paul Eels
Keef Jackson
Keith Jackson
Brent Musburger
Any woman announcing a man's game

[zortoes]

Barry Booker.

[cardinalhawg]

Guy Lewis was pretty bad as a color commentator if you guys remember him doing the SWC games after his days as coach of the Houston Cougars.  I remember him being very biased towards the Texas teams in the games those teams would play against Arkansas. 

I remember Ozzie Smith being pretty dry as a baseball color commentator for some of the Cardinal games if one wants to look at other sports.  He did not do that for long though.

[Topcat]

None of the above.

Barry Booker

Has to be the worst I've ever seen. Jefferson Pilot has a bunch of losers on their team, but he leads the pack. Billy Packer would head the list in all time suck ups to Duke. Even Nolan could figure out Packer.

[Big Papa Satan]

Anybody that works for Jefferson Pilot, especially Larry Conley or whatever his name is.

Keef Jackson makes me want to pull my hair out.  Keef, we do not want to hear you sing Righteous Brothers songs during timeouts.

Steven Asshat Smith makes me want to put a brick through the television, we well as Brent Musburger going orgasmic fifty times during an Oklahoma game.

But Dook Vitale makes me have the urge to murder kittens.

[othermac]

None of the above.

did you get too much irish cream in your coffee this morning? barry booker is one of the more enlightning announcers out there.....not only does he speak from expereince, he has a wit and charm that makes any game he calls an absolute joy to watch.

[jkstock04]

how could I forget........

He resembles Herman Munster in that picture.

[jkstock04]

Who was the "share the sugar" guy??  If he's on there then I'd vote for him...that was by far the most annoying announcer I've ever heard on TV.

[Tater Salad]

Cliff Ellis, and yes he is annoying, but I'd listen to him over Bill Walton any day.

Eli Gold-- Alabama

I hate that fat bastard.

[Swino]

Who is the black guy on CBS that looks like a tranny?  I don't like him much either.

Mooseknuckle is an absolute moron, pardner.

Len Elmore maybe?

[pigfoot]

Howard Cosel.  I'm sure some of the more senior members of this board will remember.

[Hawgin84]

But Dook Vitale makes me have the urge to murder kittens.

That's hilarious. He makes feel the same way now that you mention it. I will not listen to any game or show that guy is on.

My biggest problem with "Keef Jackson" is the poor grammar.......

[TennesseeRaz]

Forest Gump . . . or whatever that Vandy grad's name is who does JP games....

[Ross U (HDHF)]

I think I heard Stephen A. doin a high school game on ESPN...it was kind of terrifying and he never needs to do it again....EVER
