Gary Danielson is the best color guy in college football currently. People hate on him because he's associated with Verne, but he's the best in the business.

Once Verne finally gets put out to pasture, I think people's opinion of Gary will improve.

That being said, his Tim Tebow references during every game he called for three years after Timmy graduated were a bit tough for me to take.

Made my morning man - but most people prefer a color guy who constantly doesn't get shite wrong...


Is this a joke? Danielson doesn't get things wrong. Hell the guy calls 6 or 7 plays a game based on formation. You have to be thinking of someone else.

Joust: Mike Adamle & Larry Csonka

Eliminator: Mike Adamle (Csonka was a buffoon when it came to the Eliminator....totally downplayed the difficulty of the handbike)

Bill Walton and Snapper Jones



bill walton and ralph lawler(clippers commentator) were the funniest duo of all time, especially since walton was doing clippers broadcasts when they were really bad.

For baseball....

The greatest I've heard are Ernie Harwell, Jack Buck, Vin Scully, Milo Hamilton, and Dick Enberg (love his voice!).

My all-time favorite college football voice is Keith Jackson.

Basketball is Marv Albert.

I liked Dick Vitale and Billy Packer for college hoops, but I know they both have a lot of haters.


i agree with a lot of these as well. Scully is the greatest of all time, any sport. Enberg and Michaels are all time greats, and I think Nessler is following in their path. Marv Albert is good, but i think Chick Hearn is the greatest nba/basketball announcer of all time. I like guys like vitale, packer, raftery, as they bring passion to the game, Al Mcguire was the best though. Tirico bores the shite out of me, he is one of the few guys i don't really care for. The only other guys i really can't stand are hawk harrelson and jon sterling.

You can still hear Enberg call Padres games on the radio. He is pretty darn good.

My favorite announcing team of all time:



Jim's New York attitude and smart humor were perfectly complimented by Archie's downhome charm.

Jim Henderson is one of the best in the business. He's had several opportunities to leave NO, but always chose to stay. Saints fans have been very lucky to have him.

The overall worst announcer of all-time for everything sports is Chris Berman
I guess you never heard Mike Greenberg do NFL PBP (with Golic and Ditka as his color guys)

Worst. Announcer. Ever.

Al Michaels is great

I always liked Costas. Does he still do any PBP?

Mayock's voice is not very good but his info is top notch

Emmitt Smith (j/k)

I don't get the Danielson hate. Half the time he correctly predicts what play will be run.
