LabattBlue Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 In any given week here at TSW, you will see a thread bashing some member of the media. Sully, Gaughan, Felser, Dicesare, Gleason, Michaels, Madden, Simon, Schoop, the idiot who does Yankees radio broadcasts, Enberg, etc.... So in an attempt to bring out the positives in everyone(myself included) , who are your favorites from any branch of the media??? Off the top of my head.... Rick Jeanneret, Vic Carucci, Al Michaels, Harry Neale(Hockey Night in Canada), Jim Kelley(former Buffalo News hockey beat writer) & Bob Costas.

My list is surprisingly like yours. I also like Joe Morgan and Doug Collins as analysts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Scully would have to be in that mix along with Peter Gammons, Bill Rafferty and Tim Kurijan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCBillsFan Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Peter Gammons and Bob Costas..... They both seem to be straight up and always get their facts straight before they report something. I like Chris Berman too. Met him in Hawaii and he's an awesome guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow baseball much, so I tend to forget about them, but he's been one of the best for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the best play by play man I ever heard in any sport. I just hate the Dodgers so much that it's hard for me to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Scully would have to be in that mix along with Peter Gammons, Bill Rafferty and Tim Kurijan. 309244[/snapback] Writers Too many to list but I like all of the washington post columnists:Kornheiser,Wilbon,Boswell, Beyer. However, I think the best writer for that particlar paper is Bill Gildea. For those who like more of the William Murray, Shirley Povich prose style, this guy is in a league of his own. If you have never read his stuff, I highly suggest a visit to the washington post website and read some of his old articles. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JinVA Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I hate to say this, but I actually liked Bryan Cox when he was on ESPN news. I thought he gave great insight from a players point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Vin Scully was OK once you looked past all the inane stats he'd bombard the viewer with. "Guererero is 4th in the league at advancing runners from 2nd to 3rd after the 7th inning on games played on Tuesday." All-time favorite announcing team was Messer, Bill White and Scooter. Dan Kelly and Danny Gallivan were also great play-by-play men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBTG81 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Joe Morgan, Al Michaels. I also like the NY Mets radio man, Gary Cohen. He calls it like he sees it, and isn't afraid to bash his own team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Costas, Jeanerret, Michaels, McEnroe for tennis, Berman, Howard Simon's in there too I suppose. But man, we definitely do not have those great radio voices that sports used to be full of. It's a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is pretty good, certainly not afraid to speak his mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffOrange Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I like February Monday nights at about 7:00. Sean McDonough, Bill Raftery, and Jay Bilas are the best team in all of sports. Good insight to the game, good humor, good chemistry with each other, not afraid to take jabs at the refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
