Gus Johnson is without a doubt the best play by play guy that CBS has doing March Madness. How much longer before they replace Nantz with him.

He just had a back to back PURE!!!!!!!!!! And RISE AND FIRE!!!

Gotta love this guy

He's the guy that gets really animated right? Always dragging out words and getting excited...he's sounds like a white guy.

I think we all missed a golden opportunity when CBS had the Superbowl and DIDN'T let Gus Johnson call it. That would've been EPIC!

Gus Johnson: "He's got getting-away-from-the-cops speed."

Yeah, but w/ sooo many horribly shitty announcers out there an average one seems really good.

And a really good one like Gus seems like the second coming of Howard Cosell. He's one of the few we've got. People will get tired of hearing about how awesome he is but it's not b/c he's overrated, it's b/c there's barely anybody else out there to like.

If you like Gus Johnson, you'll LOVE this site. It's possibly the best site ever.

Gus Johnson!

I've been on the Gus bandwagon since the beginning, but he should never replace Nantz.

Nantz is the most underrated national play-by-play guy in the business. Very underrated.

Gus is very similar to Cosell, he does a little bit of everything. NBA, NFL, Boxing, MMA, college basketball, baseball, etc..

I bet Gus could make NASCAR and Bowling exciting to me if he was calling them on TV.

if someone is flat out awesome at what they do, why is that some people get all pissy when everyone compliments that person?
