I've only heard him on TBS. But he is good. Darling is too.

Best? Hard to say, but my favorites, in no particular order, are Collinsworth, Deshaies, Madden, Danielson, and Doug Moreau (LSU Radio for the non-Tigers).

Worst? That is an easy one. I have been watching sports for close to 40 years and there has only been one color guy that I passionately hated to the point where I would hit "mute" or change the channel and his name is Tim McCarver. I hated everything about him, from his horrible jokes to him talking the viewers about baseball like they are 9 years old.

I also grew to strongly dislike Joe Morgan too. But McCarver is the only announcer who truly rustled my jimmies

Harry Carey/Steve Stone were fantastic.

The book Steve wrote about Harry after Harry's death was really good. Very light-hearted and a good read.

I used to always laugh when Harry would bitch at Steve about having smelly cigars in the booth. Steve said in the book that it was actuallt all a shtick that Harry started and that he didn't mind the cigars at all.

Book is called "Where's Harry" if you are ever inclined to find it.

Harry: "I see Mike Marshall is going back to L.A. to get some cocaine for his foot."

Steve: "That's novacaine, Harry."

Nessler
Blackledge
Ian Eagle (GOAT NCAA tournament guy)

Probably in the minority but I do like Moose Johnson.

Danielson is good and I look forward to seeing him improve without the fat lawn gnome holding him back.
