Merle Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I'll also vote for Dick Enberg. I enjoyed Curt Gowdy in his earlier years, but towards the end, he sounded like he was confused a lot of the time, calling players by the wrong names, forgetting the game situation (what down, etc), and sometimes even getting the teams mixed up ... and even the cities! But in his prime, he was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Mama Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Gee, you can really tell the age of this board on a weekday morning, there were some pioneers listed. Ray Scott "the screamer" Howie was the first to offer up negative criticisms. Folks tuned in just to hate on Howey. "Dandy" Don Meredith was the first to add humor and was the perfect foil for Howie. Al DeRogotis was the first I remember to add actual technical football analysis. Madden did humor combined with technical analysis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Round Bust Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 team - Madden and Summerall the gold standard followed by MNF crew of Cosell, Dandy Don and Mr Kathy Lee Gifford - entertainment beyond the game..Cosell.. I know every playahs numbah and where he went to collidge - and Dandy Don singong "turn out the lights the party's over" when the game got out of hand...followed by Enberg and Merlon Olsen (NBC 4 PM ET games - many Elway comebacks and west coast games which were followed by Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom but I digress). individual - Cosell - as a kid the half-time highlights on MNF were what I waited-up for...that man..right theyah...Mel Gray...taking a kick-off to the house, only seen on MNF Keith Jackson - the voice of college footballl...as in...good lookin sof-oh-more line-backah from Natcha-doses Tex-us...and the of course those big uglies up-front doing the blocking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthymcnasty08 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Pat Summerall and John Madden CBS had them on the NFC East during its golden years in the 80's Special shout out to Dennis Miller. While not an all-time great, I am one of the few that enjoyed his humor during MNF. That was a unique twist.

longtimebillsfan Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Pat Summerall. I loved his minimalist style. He didn't need to talk and fill every second with his voice. He would let the game be the star. "Touchdown Dallas" That was all that was needed. Another announcer I really enjoyed was Keith Jackson.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Nobody said 'Amp Lee' like Summerall did. * I wish Greg Bauch's parody sportscaster 'Greg Buck' was still posted online. Hearing the fictional Buck parry with fans over his play by play calling of a Bronco's game with Tebow at QB was priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Other than Van Miller, I'd go with Curt Gowdy and Merlin Olsen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Madden on a National level. On a local level, Van Miller and Greg Papa who used to do the Raiders broadcasts, but was unceremoniously dumped for the has been Brent Musburger. (He is currently god awful to listen to). I think the 49ers picked up Papa to do their radio broadcasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
