We dislike Madden because he is so busy telling a story at length that he misses reporting the current action.

I love Buck and I loved his dad. Jon Miller, Dan Fouts (even though many don't like him), Doug Collins, the whole TNT basketball studio team, Boomer Esiason, Al Michaels.

Can't stand Thiesmann, Morgan, Walton, Hubie Brown, Costas, Deion Sanders.

I noted Theismann being on a lot of people's 'least' lists...isn't he going to be doing Monday night football this year?
Or maybe the Sunday night primetime games???
I'm not too happy about that, if he's that bad (somehow I've managed to avoid most of his reporting, unless you include the drunken flirting on the sidelines )

It was the great Joe Namath that had a few cocktails and tried to seduce the ABC sideline reporter..."I want to kisss you..."

Bill Walton has got to be the worst! My favorite would be who talks the least.

The one I can't stand, and his name escapes me right now, is the HBO boxing analyst who drags out his words and pauses a lot. He is an older, light hair, short man ..... $^#&* what is his name? He BUGS the heck out of me. Thank God for the mute button!!!!

Worst: Joe Morgan - he's the reason I don't watch ESPN Sunday Nigh Baseball, Joe Thiesman, Tim McCarver, Bill Walton.

Another one that I don't like, but he seems to win a lot of awards is Bob Costas. He's a great studio host and writer, but I hate it when he's doing play-by-play of games. He thinks he needs to wax poetic about EVERYTHING!

Gotta say, for tennis John McEnroe and Mary Carillo are a great team. For college football, Dan Fouts and Keith Jackson (okay, he's slipped lately, but still) are unrivaled.

Bah. John Madden works my last nerve. If he's announcing a game I want to watch, I turn the sound off. Howzabout a steaming hot cup of Shut The Heck Up, Mr. Madden?

For the Philly guys; you ONLY listen to Merril Reese during football games. He is great. I also like Harry Kalas.

Fav National: Aikman, Moose Johnston, Madden, Costas, Collinsworth

Least Nat: Stephan A. Smith (He yells too much. Calm down buddy!)
Stuart Scott- with his constant "Stuisms"
Dan Deirdorf (sp?)- Just annoying.

Favorites: Joe Rogan (UFC)- One of my favorite things about him is that he doesnt worry about being PC. If he thinks something is stupid, he will say so even if its from Spike TV who he is working for. A week ago they were trying to really promote Blade the Series during UFC and the other announcer said "I know I'll be watching that as soon as this is over, what about you?" and Joe just said "Not me". He also wasnt the least bit shy in saying that one of the judges should be shot for their scoring of a couple of the fights.
Kenny Smith & Charles Barkley (I know theyre just halftime/postgame but they are really entertaining)

Least favorite: Bill Walton- He can be entertaining at times but he is almost always biased for one team. If he's biased for my time I like watching him, but if he's biased for the other team I can't stand him
