Worst announcers are whoever calls 12:00 kickoffs for the Big 10 and the Big East.

I like the 230 ABC crew, the 230 CBS crew, and the ESPN prime time crew. Production value and announcers are usually pretty solid.

I've always like Gruden as well, but you know what would be full of awesome?

Michael Irvin. Monday Night Football

I don't care what money needs to go from ESPN to the NFL network. This simply must happen in my lifetime.

LSU fan groupthink 101.

Apparently Gary and Verne like no one in the SEC. I've heard fans from Auburn, UGA, Tenn., Alabama, etc, etc say that CBS Gary and Verne "hate" their team. If you think that crew is the worst, them you obviously haven't watch any college football games that start before 2:30.

Worst announcer in history was/is Keith Jackson. This might be the worst take of all time.

Total idiot. But if you like him....hey, it's a free country.

I will totally refute your point by mentioning a woman who was a good announcer. Give me a few months and I'll get back to you.

The women who commentate are terrible.

I don't mind sideline reporters, but please no commentators.

To be a decent commentator, you have to love the game. I have yet to meet a woman who truly lives the game.

I know my initial reaction to Gary and Verne is because of my LSU bias but I can usually get over it. They really just piss me off in whatever game I watch. Even the Navy/ND game which I could care less who won I found myself getting pissed at Gary.
I do agree about women announcers don't like them. Other than Lisa Guerrero who did NFL for a season and is a stone cold fox.

I think some of the issues the SEC fans have with the CBS crew is that when they mess up with a tidbit about your team, you immediately recognize it because it is your team.

I actually like Gary until he goes off on some stupid tangent while ignoring the big picture. For example, he will be having a major debate with himself over whether or not a ball was knocked loose before a runner was down, completely missing the fact that the ball broke the goal line before the runner lost control of it. Verne is awful and needs to be put out to pasture though. He has been senile for 6 or 7 years now.

No. Danielson is the best color analyst in football. I don't know why people complain about announcers so much anyway. People like you will bitch about anything though.

Nah not really. I'm not a huge complainer. I just don't like Danielson.
