I know this is tough, but you have to pick the BIGGEST moron.

Good luck, and God speed.

BTW, it was close, but I went with Rowe.  What a mouth breather.

Out of that list, Stephan A.

But Bill Walton is the absolute worst

I always hated Bill Walton. I got so bad that I looked forward to hhim working the games so I could have more reason to hate him.

I can't STAND Dickie V- Give it a rest- Thank goodness he handles the ACC a majority of the time. The only other thing besides him that makes me change the channel from sporstcenter is Hockey highlights.

I came so close to putting him on there.  He's on there now.  I wasn't sure if he was still doing commentary.

He sucks big time.

Forgot Mark May..LOL. so of these I will go with Joe Dean, Jr for one reason..he is a State grad and former player for us but seems to favor the opponent, especially LSU, when he calls our games, even when we are favored.   Assclown.

He used to have a stuttering problem

God made him that way for a reason.

Too bad he overcame it

I didn't know he played at State.  His old man was AD at LSU, so that explains his tiger fetish.  I can just see this conversation going on at the press table:

Joe Dean, Jr.:  "Getting a little strang music!  Better take a TO!"

Dave Neal:  "We're in commercial."

Steven A. Smith isn't really a commentator, is he? Doesn't he just do in-studio work?

True, but how could we leave someone who sucks so bad off the list?

  Kind of ironic that Bill Walton's college coach, John Wooden, wouldn't allow him to speak to the press because he was basically inept and now the guy does commentary on NBC. I absolutely can't stand Walton. It's also a joke that he was included in NBA's Top 50 players. He was a PUD after college. I HATE BILL WALTON!!!

I'll give you that.

Also, Walton does work for ABC/ESPN, not NBC. NBC lost the rights to the NBA a couple of years ago.

LOL, that's funny..yeah he played back in the mid 70's.

Tis cool. I miss the NBC music, too. Didn't John Tesh make it?

Jim Gray and Rick Schaffer have attained high levels of sucktude. 

I toyed with putting Gray on the list.

I was afraid that mentioning him might make him surface.

CLIFF ELLIS.........wasnt he the one that kept talking about the sugar?

anyone remember tom brookshire, i couldnt stand him, he worked with pat summerall, one of his famous quotes was after summerall had remarked "this is the superbowl for the refs as well, these are the best in the business" brookshire chimes in, "and that goes for us as well, dont you think"

I would vote for Rick Majerus.  At one point last year, he did an Arkansas game, and mixed up which team had the ball....  And said 'Olu Faminami, or what ever his name is'
I'm kind of a big deal.

hogmary

I cannot believe that Cheryl Miller was not on the list.  Joe Dean, Jr. only has his job because his dad was athletic director at LSU.

Dave Rowe, can't stand him, but what about Joe Theisman?  He's pretty bad too!

I don't think he cares about being a good commentator...he's just waiting for his dream job to open up  ;)

keep in mind though he only does this for the love of the game apparently, his full-time job is as the AD at Birmingham-Southern, now he may have that job because of his dad..LOL

I really, really hate Lee Corso, and of course "The Daves" on JP suck.

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.

I don't really like Al Micheals..I know he's called some big games but he seems to "put the wrong emphAsis on the wrong syllAbil"...kinda glad he's off MNF

Worst play-by-play...Paul Eels. On the radio, no less. I quit trying to listen to Razorback football about 15 years ago.

Some of the former players should really like Eells. Who else is going to call your name out on a play a season or two after you've used up your eligibility?

hoggystyle78

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.

I had to go with Billy Packer.  This guy is the ultimate frontrunner.  Bill Walton was a very close second.

I didn't see Walton before I voted... I HATE HIM...

Joe Dean Jr. even uses his Dad's old catch phrase "String Music". How sad is that?

I didnt see Cliff Ellis on that list.

That guy is just terrible!

Hope he NEVER does another game.

I dont mind the others as much because they kind of know what they are talking about. Bill Walton at times sounds stupid, but the biggest MORON has got to be Trev Alberts. He is constantly talking out of his A@@. His comments usually contain a lot of opinion and not enough fact.
