10) John Buccigross
9) Charley Steiner
8) Kenny Mayne
7) Linda Cohn
6) Bob Ley
5) Rich Eisen
4) Stuart Scott
3) Scott Van Pelt
2) Dan Patrick
1) Keith Olberman

Pretty interesting list, I thought Ley should be higher because of longevity though
Notables:
21. Robin Roberts
18. Mike Tirico
13. Brian Kenny

Steiner should be closer to the top. Most underrated.

Reading this article makes me miss when Sportscenter was my favorite show growing up playing sports.

I'm not shedding a tear because he isn't on the list, but does anyone else find it odd that Berman isn't on the list?

1-5 dead on. Bob Ley up there for the OG factor, plus he's a really good anchor

I can see Danny P and KO being top 2. They really changed the way they did things things there and were hated for it by management. Dan gives some great stories on his show from time to time.

Olberman at #1? Not a world I want to live in.

Kenny Mayne and Linda Cohn still the goat combo.

Those 5 and Kenny Mayne were ESPN. Their personalities are what catapulted ESPN to heights previously unknown for a cable netwotk during the mid 2000s or so. Good grief I enjoyed watching Sportscenter as a teenager when those guys were on. I used to watch it 3 or 4 times a day, now I watch it once or twice a month. The product is trash compared to those days.

Reading this list makes me sad. I used to never miss sportscenter, now I don't remember the last time I watched. Hell I didn't even realize that Brian Kenny wasn't there any more.

Tom Mees doing the midnight Sportscenter by himself was pure gold.
