Greatest Announcers of All Time (Deceased)

Ever since I was a kid, my dad instilled in me the practical value of sporting contests pitting one person or team against another. The young Grasshoppers in the crowd might not appreciate how sporting life was "back then", and how these commentators could give these events a life of their own.
Feeling nostalgic today and revisiting those days in my mind. One of my favorites: Mel Allen

Keith Jackson?

Keith Jackson was terrible. A huge Big10/Pac10 homer whose claim to fame was a stupid "Whoa Nelly." He was neither intelligent nor good speaker.

One of the worst things I've ever read on here. Keith Jackson was college football.
And if him being a "perceived" Big 10/Pac 10 homer in your eyes is a reason why you don't like him...that means you have a callow problem and are frankly clueless (as he only exclusively announced Pac 10/Big 10 games in his last few years) while he was the national "game of the week" for ALL of college football - for his entire career before that.
