Most Hated Announcer/Analyst/Sportscaster

[GrizzlyAdams]

There are so many people that work for ESPN that I just have to change the channel when I see them. Who does you dislike the most?

[sportsnut859]

Absolutely has to be Skip! On a local note I'll go with Dave Lapham. CANNOT stand some of the analogies and things he tries to make.

[halfback20]

Berman, Bayless, Mariotti...as well as Todd McShay and Mel Kiper.

[sportsnut859]

I've always been a Berman fan. What about Stuart Scott? There are quite a few that do not like him now a days.

[GrizzlyAdams]

There were a couple I left off that I wasn't sure if I should put them on or not. I was going to add Mel Kiper, Woody Paige and Stephen A. Smith. I think Stephen A. Smith was fired which is why I didnt put him on the list. If he was there he would be my number 1 target.

Paul McGuire - hated him

Billy Packer - awful

Brent Musberger - total stinker

Keith Jackson overrated mega smeller

[Butterfly Baby]

I chose Rome. Dont watch at all.

[bigblueinsanity]

[Butterfly Baby]

I love Corso. He is hilarious to listen to. :laugh:

Musberger should hang it up.

[Wireman]

Dick Vitale doesn't belong on this list, IMO. He IS college basketball.

Oh I know, I love the guy but I put him on here because I know alot of people dislike him.

Keith Jackson overrated mega smeller

 

Jackson really lost his fastball late, but I've heard some of his 1960s and 1970s calls and he was really good.

[Mack The Knife]

I do not dislike any of them.

[CincySportsFan]

Mel Kiper is an idiot. They pull him out once a year, dust him off, toss on some hair gel and prop him up as some "great draft guru". Total clown. And needless to say, I can't stand him.

 

Stuart Scott has got "Berman-itis". It used to be cool to hear the guys and their catchy phrases liven up the highlight packages. But, then the phrases BECAME the highlight packages. Suddenly, not so special anymore.

 

And say what you will about Vitale and Corso...both men are passionate about their sport. What some (many?) may see as schtick...is really an overdose of excitement. Yeah, sometimes it may get annoying, but I never really feel like they're not genuinely into the game. Berman, Scott, etc. I feel think that people are tuning in to see THEM, and not the game. Totally wrong approach.

 

For what it's worth...I think Corso and Herbstreit make one of the best duos as far as analysts are concerned. They don't always agree with each other...but they don't always disagree either. They definitely have good chemistry together on the College Game Day set.
