No one paints a better picture of a sporting event than Vin Scully.
Sean McDonough is the most underrated sports commentator alive today.
Jim Nantz has the greatest work week possible when he covers the NCAA Final Four and then gets to cover the Masters. I'd give McDonough the FF gig, but Augusta isn't Augusta for me without Nantz.

Too bad he obviously didn't give his son any of that talent calling baseball games. Joe and McCarver make me want to throw things through my TV. I think Joe is trying to purposefully fulfill the faux stereotype that baseball is boring and McCarver is just an idiot.
FWIW though, I think Joe Buck is pretty good with Troy Aikman on the NFL Fox game of the week though. Aikman is a great analyst, as much as this Redskins fan hates to admit it.

Adrien Karsten, Mike Gottfried & Ron Franklin is still my favorite crew.
'Ole Verne & Todd Blackledge from CBS are second to me.

I said this in another thread but it belongs here.
It's been 4 years and I have changed my mind about Aikman and Collinsworth. Although I think Collinsworth is really good with the technical aspects of breaking down X's and O's, the personality isn't great and it's getting really old. Although I think Aikman sucks with the X's and O's, I love that he will let you know when a QB sucks. He won't hold back and nobody else does that, so I appreciate it. Also, I still want Romo more than anybody, but if it's not a good game, Romo sucks. His strength is on-the-fly commentary, and nobody is on his level. If the game is bad, then you have to turn to what you prepared to discuss when it went that way, and he just doesn't know what he's doing in that regard.
Also, I miss nerd. He was a good dude.

Russillo said this, and now I notice it all the time. Tirico will do the thing that everybody on earth does, which is you start to say something the wrong way, and then you and I (and other broadcasters) back up a word or two to correct it. Tirico doesn't do that. Tirico just keeps going forward and seamlessly finds a way to make the slip-up correct. It's incredible.
