"Now, let's be clear; we're not talking about announcers who simply lose track of the situation or horribly mispronounce athletes' names. No, we're focusing on the announcers whose entire public persona makes us want to kick a hole in our HDs. Deep breath, people, as we call out the culprits:"

and I hate any female announcers. Sexist, I know. But MrsPA agrees with me.

I also love to hate Tim McCarver

I'm probably the only one in the world who doesn't mind Vitale. He adds a bit of emotion to the game.

if it's a good game you don't need an idiot announcer to add emotion.

bias? more like stalker-like obsession. he even knew who a duke commit was dating and felt the need to inject it into the wake vs. duke game the other day ago. honestly, does anyone care? i'm sure most would rather have analysis of a game than some stupid high school dating news.

He's OK with me. He was much better in the late 80's before he became Dickie V.

He seriously is the worst guy out there. People try to explain it away by saying he had a stroke. But whatever the reason, the bottom line is he is the WORST and just needs to retire if he's having such a tough time with it.
