haha, it's funny b/c I never really noticed or paid to much attention to announcers/talking heads in the past, but after lurking this forum for a while I've really noticed how terrible they are.

The first one that comes to mind for me would be Reggie Miller. I mean I listened to this guy on a few NCAA first(second) round games and it was beyond terrible. He would start a thought then go nowhere then just wait for the other guy to bail him out lol.

Chris Berman has always been terrible not to mention Stuart Scott, probably everyone on that network, haven't watched it for some time. I did like that tall guy who did golf, forget his name.

Anyway I had a thought about giving shot outs to our favorite local announcers. IMO local broadcasters are insanely better and way more knowledgable. Yeah they cover one team and are allowed to be biased but who cares. Dunno if theres already a thread or what but I bet there are some great ones that I've never heard of.

Daron Sutton is pretty goddamned good, no idea what you're smoking. At the very least he doesn't belong anywhere near a "worst" list.

This is true, most of these guys are terrible on their own, when Shaq is on the air he's bringing Chuck down with him

I love complaining about NBA booths, so I'll do it here. My new worst-at-his job commentator is Mike Smith for the Clippers. I don't dislike the guy, he seems affable enough, but he's so often completely lost when calling games it makes me wonder how he keeps his job. Him prattling on and on about how the Clippers needed to foul after going up 1 with 20 seconds left the other day was just unbelievable.

Need more baseball guys. I think John Kruk is pretty bad. I also despise Matthew Berry, but not sure if anyone else cares about him much.

Hawk Harrelson and Buck Martinez are my picks for baseball. Also, any of the feminazi tennis commentators that hang off the Williams sisters balls (Mary Carillo, Pam Shriver, Chris Evert and Mary Jo Fernandez to name a few)
