I don't know who Joe House is. Doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. Seems to be connected to Bill Simmons's podcast. I'll count him unless people oppose it.

Dennis Taylor, Mike Milbury, Dick Vitale, Jason Whitlock, Nick Faldo, Colin Cowherd and Joe House are awaiting confirmation.

Did SE just randomly decide to stop hating Joe Buck?

Joe Buck is one of the many names I expected to hear almost immediately.

His voice singlehandedly ruined the greatest Super Bowl moment in Giants history.

Bob Costas

Clay Travis

Jemele Hill

Jimmy Roberts

Also second/third/ninth Faldo

I'll strongly second:

Colin Cowherd

Jason Whitlock

How am I the first one to mention Skip Bayless and Stephan A. Smith?

I feel I should offer supporting evidence re: Taylor, given that most 'muricans will never have heard of him:

Basically a good but not great snooker player who managed to luckbox a world title 30 years ago in a deciding frame against the then greatest of all time, one of two tournaments he won in his entire 20+ year career. If he was a quarterback, he'd be Flacbert. He since migrated to the commentary box, where he effectively takes the play by play role, given that all the other professionals on the books have far more in game knowledge than he does. He does this horribly, be this weak jokes, pointing out random people in the crowd that nobody knows except him as he met them in 1978, making references to 90's Thai pro James Wattana whenever somebody makes an attempt at a pot in the middle pocket of and only if they are Asian, etc etc. He's so bad that I will actively turn it off, and I don't even do that for Simms, he's so bad I made an official complaint to his employers about the quality of his broadcasting, and is more or less the sole reason why I watch most snooker nowadays in German.

Plus his glasses are stupid

Lol, didn't even see Taylor, yeah, he's horrible. Snap +1. Should at least be in the field.

Skip Bayless is the stone cold worst

Reggie Miller and Mack Brown are the worst in their respective sports, though Rod Gilmore puts up a fight in football
