Is he not the lead TNT NBA guy?

He is. Once Marv Albert retired he was given the no. 1 role. He is also the No. 2 CBB and No. 3 NFL guy at CBS

Harlan needs to take over for Nance.


Nantz retired from CBB last year. Ian Eagle has taken his role

Thought it was Marv Albert


Harlan is pretty decent but he definitely stole some of Marv Alberts style.

Harlan is amazing. Romo was good until he stopped giving a shite.

You aren't telling me anything I haven't already known for years. He should have been Nantz's replacement. The Final Four will be so much better this year without boring Nantz dragging down the broadcasts.

I muted the feed for the Super Bowl for years so I could listen to him and Warner on the Westwood One feed on my phone.

He's the absolute best in the business. And like someone said earlier, he should be Nantz's replacement.

Harlan "The man is drunk!"

Nantz and Eagle are both very good and professional, but neither shines when it comes to buzzer beaters, late-game craziness, etc.

Harlan’s voice was made for the chaos of March. Wish he would’ve been chosen instead of Eagle to replace Nantz on CBS’s #1 cbb team.

His best was when he called 2 games at once.

Harlan is the best PBP guy in sports today.

But what is wild to me is that he’s better on the radio than he is on tv.

I really wish he was the main PBP guy at a network.




He's even better without Miller's contributions.

Agreed. Kevin Harlan, then Ian Eagle as a close second.

Brian Anderson is decent, but a much better MLB announcer.

Jim Nantz doesn’t do college basketball anymore. Ian Eagle is the number one guy for CBS.


I was kinda surprised Eagle got this over nessler or Harlan.

But, I guess they wanted to keep hill and raftery on the A team and eagle fits better.

I was skeptical of Noah Eagle at first but him and Blackledge were a very good combo. NBC has great talent for ND, NFL, and the Saturday night games.

Yea i think NBC has the best announcer talent top to bottom.

I hope Harlan finds his way into more meaningful CBS NFL games soon. He deserves it.

I think he enjoys being the Westwood one radio guy on things like the Super Bowl and final four. Otherwise yea he’s the best. Eagle is a solid lead guy.
