jdubs Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Here's the guys I can't/couldn't stand. 1. Cris Collingsworth - I don't think I've ever heard anything nice come out of his mouth about the Buffalo Bills. I don't think I've ever seen someone so into themselves either. 2. Deion Sanders - I think he needs to go back to middle school and learn how to properly speak the english language. 3. Michael Irvin - Why does this guy YELL ALL THE TIME? He spends more time goofing off with everyone else than actually talking football. 4. John Madden - He reminds me of someone's senile grandfather. Just like my cat I had when I was a little kid, he got old and it was time to put the poor guy to sleep. I think it's time for John to do the same and get out of football. The only people his analysis ihelps with understanding the game is foreigners & kids in 1st grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked a few of the others (though "Pink Cellphone" brought the whole record to a screeching halt). Totally agree about #1-3. Collinsworth needs to just shut the hell up. I remember during the summer when NBC was running promos for their Sunday Night Football and his big line was "This is going to be the greatest NFL season ever," which he apparently based on absolutely nothing (because how the hell would you know that in July??). Deion Sanders seems to think being clever and wearing an orange suit are the same thing. Listening to Irvin talk makes me think he never stopped taking drugs. And what was he doing at the TO press conference a couple months back? I like Madden alright. He's a goofy old dude and I really don't care if he never says anything I need to hear.

Ramius Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 1. Gumbel - absolutely horrible as a play-by-play guy, and his arrogance and smugness comes out in his voice 2. Michael Irvin - stupid hurricane crack-head (altho thats kind of redundant) 3. The worst tho, is STEPHEN A. SMITH! HE NEVER HAS ANYTHING TO SAY THAT REQUIRED ANY ORIGINAL OR CRITICAL THOUGHT. BUT HE SHOUTS ALL THE TIME WHICH APPARENTLY MAKES HIM A GOOD ANNOUNCER. FO SHIZZLE, QUITE FRANKLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuntheDamnBall Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) Pregame: Deion, Irvin, Shannon Sharpe -- all loudmouths whom I hated on the field and are eminently more hateable on a TV set. Boomer Esiason is also a total douche and Marino, it goes without saying. Boy, I can't wait till we have to hear Tom Brady on these shows. In game: Gus Johnson, Kenny Albert (sounds drunk and completely clueless), Rich Gannon (I'm not sure how every guy who played QB becomes an instant expert), and just about every D-team guy they have show up for the Bills games. When Simms is talking strictly about the game he is just OK. When he is going through his ball-washing of the usual suspects he is unbearable. This all makes the near-senile Criqui appear quite favorable. I am enjoying: Marshall Faulk, Solomon Wilcots, Sterling Sharpe, Jaws and Ron Pitts to an extent. I used to like Costas more but I think he's kind of coasting on reputation by this point. Edit: changed second "shannon" to sterling so it makes sense. duhhhh.

IDBillzFan Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 It's a tie between Sylvester Dierdorf and Paul McGuire. I can't stand Dierdorf because it seems like every time he covers a Bills game, we're getting our asses handed to us, and he just never stops with the comments like "And right now the Bills can get absolutely nothing going and clearly are being outplayed and outcoached worse than any team has ever been beaten before in the National Football League." I can't stand McGuire because what he sees and what actually happens are two totally different things. "Let me tell ya, on that end around you can see he was untouched. UNTOUCHED! Now watch on this replay, he turns the corner and you can see no one gets a hand on him...well, okay, there are two guys that just hit him, but you wanna talk about soft hands? He has the softest hands ever!" Plus...HDTV is not kind to McGuire. He's better in a lower resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catholic Guilt Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I watched the NFL network game last night and counted the number of times Bryant Gumbel repeated himself. He is horrible.

The Big Cat Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 The Worst: Ian Eagle and his misplaced emphasis on words = Randy Cross should be killed. Jim Nantz is clueless and would prefer to be announcing the Nagano Winter Olympics than NFL Football. The best: I really like Mike Tirico and Ron Pitts as play-by-play guys (Pitts is esp. impressive given that he was a former player--Buffalo Bill draft pick). I think Phil Simms is a fairly astute color commentator. 853764[/snapback] Mike Tirico is a notorious pervert. He has had NUMEROUS complaints against him from female coworkers everywhere he's worked. That makes him number 1 in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCM Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Randy Cross is a Donkey..... Dierdorf every Monday night game would say and I quote "There's nobody better than this guy in the NFL......" that is, until next week when whoever is playing is suddenly better than the guy (who a week ago) was the best! If Bryant Gumbel would stop using phrases like......"Now the Bengals are forced to relinquish the ball......" Relinquish????

"but is he a sock-tucker?" i thought that may have been one of the funniest moments in the history of broacasting, especially when he went on to talk about belichick, and how "belechick is a sock-tucker as welll". did anyone catch that ebsides me, or did i imagine the whole thing? the potential for misspeaking was huge, and i did have to agree, bb IS a sock-tucker.
