Title: Announcer SURVIVOR...(WORST Sportscasters Ever)
Post by: NHSparky on April 19, 2009, 08:11:25 AM
List your LEAST favorite announcers here.  When we get enough, we can do "death-match" style matchups to see which one is the one more people want to get rid of.  The "winner" gets unceremoniously kicked wherever most painful until death occurs.

Announcers can be national or local (if local, provide evidence of douchebaggery, where possible).

My starting list of sports announcers who should be beaten with hammers:

Joe Morgan
Bryant Gumbel
Mike Patrick
Bill Walton
Chip Caray
Joe Buck
Tim McCarver
Stuart Scott
Tony Kornheiser
and, not surprisingly...

Keith Olbermann--trying and failing yet again.

But it's always fun to watch this:

Joe Buck shouldn't be beaten with a hammer, just with closed fists.

Cris Collingsworth will not be able to hold Madden's jock strap; Cris is awful

My current Top 5:

I am surprised that no one has picked Howard C. as the worst or best. He certainly was not one of my favorite sportscasters.

I would put him in either category, but in his later years his humor showed through and he was able to laugh at himself and at the people that didn't like him.
