I think Matt Hicks is OK but I can definitely tell a huge difference in my enjoyment of the game when Nadal calls it vs Hicks. 6 hours ago, SimonBolivar said: Hell I'm an Astros fan and I find myself tuning in to hear Nadal on a warm summer night as I'm driving around town.

June 22, 20196 yr Old enough to remember when Al Michaels called Reds games on radio, baseball to me will always be Joe & Tony on Saturday afternoons then POs and WS.

Dizzy-"Mantle slud into second base" The camera was panning the stands and Ole Diz saw a young couple in the centerfield bleachers and actually uttered these now-famous words on the air: "Lookie there, Pee Wee; those young folks are smoochin' after every pitch. He's kissin' her on the strikes, and she's kissin' him on the balls." True story. My favorite Dizzy Dean story came when he was put in as a pinch runner on first in the '34 World Series. He elected not to slide on a double-play ball and the throw from second caught him square in the forehead. Knocked him cold. They took him to the hospital and the next day headlines in the Detroit Free Press said, "X-RAYS OF DEAN'S HEAD SHOW NOTHING." Another true story.

June 22, 20196 yr Put me down for Kern Tips. And Diz & Peewee. Nowadays I shut the volume off for the most part. if the skycam spidercam all-22 is available, that's great shit, right there... it'd be gooder if they'd put the little graphic with score, time, down & distance on it, but just not having the babbling morons is a huge improvement. Wouldn't mind having the network replays, though.
June 22, 20196 yr I like Klatt. Gus needs to not announce anything but the last play if the game. I literally can't stand how over the top every single play is. I turn the volume off so I don't have to hear him masturbate over every 2 yard run.

June 22, 20196 yr Fucking Howard. Check out this old pre-game from '76 Howard throws a barb at 2:25 to his colleagues, then you see good ol' Lou Holtz.
June 22, 20196 yr I don’t know if I have a favorite, but I pretty much want to straight up murder these sonofabitches every time I hear them. Andre Ware should also be locked into a shipping container and abandoned at the port of Houston.
June 22, 20196 yr Johnson and Klatt is the best pair out there. Klatt is probably the best CFB analyst/ color guy in the business right now and everyone likes Gus. Tony Rono is really good at the pro level.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Keith Jackson is the GOAT in my book, but my by FAR favorite is Gus Johnson. You can hear the passion for the game in his voice no matter what game he is calling, and he calls it right down the middle. No favorites, just passion and screaming in to the microphone! ^^^Be sure to watch at :40 and at 1:09 for the awesome followed by the lulz. Gus Johnson is my favorite. Most entertaining announcer! "Watch out! Uh oh! Wow!" "He's got get away from the cops speed!" "You got barbecue and didn't invite me?! Hurt. My. Feelings!""
June 23, 20196 yr IMHO, There’s only one answer for the Rangers if we goin back through history...Remind me...I listened to approximately 6 million ranger games on the radio as a kid but drawing a complete blank here
June 23, 20196 yr I also really liked Lewin. If they could've gotten a partner for him that actually knew any pop culture references they would be gold together. Grieve was a fucking caveman.

June 23, 20196 yr The greatest sports broadcasting team ever was Howard Cosell, Dandy Don Meredith, and Frank Gifford on MNF. Monday Night Football was the 'must see tv' of its time and it wasn't because of the football game. It didn't matter who was playing or if the game was good or not. You'd tune in just to listen to what the hell they'd say next.

June 24, 20196 yr Mushburger couldn't take OU's cock out of his mouth. In the end it cost him his job.
June 24, 20196 yr C'mon, guys; this is a buncha' bullshit in what should be a one-answer thread: Keith Jackson for CFB, Vin Scully for MLB, and nobody give a fuck about the NFL, the NBA, the NHL, and for sure that boring-ass golf.
