My favorite pair is Gus Johnson and Charles Davis. They're great. I also like Rece Davis, Herbie, Huard, Fouts.

Least favorite are probably the guys from the Pac-12 Network and Cunningham. They suck.

Also, I'm neutral towards Joey. He's really smart, but his voice is kind of annoying.

+1

Joey's very good and is obviously extremely intelligent, but his use of big words is rather irritating. I understand what he means but some people may not.

I definitely can't stand Cunningham. :x

Keith Jackson is a friggin GOD. I grew up listening to him and will never forget him.

I like Harrington. He has a passion for the game and it shows. He tries not to be a "homer" and knows WTF he is talking about.

With that being said, the Pac-12 has some of the WORST announcers in the country. Just terrible.

Favorite: Keith Jackson, of course. I'm fine with Musburger, especially when he called the two
DAT thouchdowns at The Rose Bowl.

Least favorite of any sport: Howard Cosell---in addition to being a sportscaster, the guy was an attorney
and yet was the only person in the history of Western Civilization to say the word: "OREGON" and
mispronounce all three syllables in the process.

I like Charles Davis a lot but Gus Johnson just bugs me. He gets TOO DAMN EXCITED TOO DAMN OFTEN!! It kind of nullifies the truly big plays when he goes off on a simple pass play only to have the receiver tackled almost immediately. Then he deflates like an old balloon. Just don't like his style.

Bring back Keith Jackson! Then get rid of Cunningham and that guy on the Pac-12 network that says "could be the one" on every touchdown.

Agree 100% on Joe Buck.

Gus Johnson is definitely the best of the current cast.

Least favorite for cfb: David Pollack and Jesse Palmer. How did Rece get stuck with these clowns?

Don't know how I forgot Pollack! He didn't even realize Oregon has injuries on the OLine during the Arizona game. He really doesn't know what's going on. They just wanted a pretty boy at ESPN to get more female viewers.

Herbie and Fowler are by far the best in the business right now. Keith Jackson is the GOAT in my opinion.

One thing is for certain, Joey is terrible.

Since he asked about all sports, the top two that I would listen to all day every day are Vin Scully and Bill Schonely not even close.
There are a ton I don't like and that's harder to come up with least favorite. I do cringe a lot though whenever I have to listen to Dick Vitale do a game.

Any sport: Brian Wheeler. NFL: Mike Tirico.

College: I really like Brad Nesslar as play by play. Herbie is great as the color guy.

Musberger is awful. Always a beat late calling everything. Charles Davis is captain obvious. Cunningham is a total boob. I actually really dislike Dave Pasch. He always blatantly roots for the underdog Oregon is playing. Love Mike and Mike for the Blazers. Make a hilarious duo.

I actually don't mind Pollack and Palmer. They are kind of prisoners of the moment, but they aren't horrible.

Good announcers really can make the moment. When Lillard hit "the shot" in April, I can still hear Tirico. "LILLARD GOOD! GOOOOOOD! AND THE BLAZERS... WIN THE SERIES.. FOR THE FIRST TIME ...IN FOUR-TEEN YEARS!"

Still gives me the shivers.
