I'm Bored..WORST Announcers/Pre-Game Analysts

[blindseyed]

Who is the worst in your opinion?

I have to say the 2 most annoying , for me, are Deion Sanders (CBS) and Micheal Irvin (ESPN). Didn't like 'em when they played and can't stomache them as analyists

I got this brilliant idea from the "Is Collinsworth an idiot" thread. I'm bored

 

[Jersey Girl]

I think Romanowski is annoying. Drives me crazy.

And, while I'm posting and since I didn't post in the Collingsworth thread, yes, he is an idiot. And he is a total flip-flopper. I'm all for trying to be neutral, but c'mon already Cris. Geesh!

 

[100%CardsFan]

Madden. He knows so much about football and I love his PS2 Game but damn some of his ramblings drive me crazy. Say a WR catches a 15 yard pass Madden would expain it like this-

"Well Pat, See the receiver ran out about 15 yards by moving his legs to run and when he turned around he saw the ball coming with his eyes and then reached up and caught it with his hands, using your hands is a big part about being a receiver, but dont forget you have to use your legs too"

He just drives me crazy sometimes

 

[Cardinal Bob]

Easily John Madden.

All he ever does is A) state the painfully obvious, or B) talk about things that have no relevance to the game, or the play that just happened. Plus the fact that it sounds like he's chewing food when he talks makes him that much worse.

 

[football karma]

easily John Mistler

his solution to all Cardinal game day problems is the "somebody just has to step up and make a big play" line.

 

[denverbirdfan]

how about curt menefee and tim ryan

those poor bastards have to do EVERY cardinal game. they suck and i get tired of em

 

[blindseyed]

I forgot about all the sideline reporters , too. IMO, a waste of time trying to ask the coach "What do you need to do in the 2nd half to win?"...Stupid questions

 

[JeffGollin]

Leslie Visser.

 

[kerouac9]

Sideline: Lisa Guerrero. She's not all that hot, she asks dumb questions. It's funny to hear her call the game back to Al, and Al thanks her and you can almost hear "We're all hoping you come back soon, Melissa (Stark)" coming out of his mouth.

Booth: I dunno. The guys that cover the Cards games are pretty bad, but they're also the "F" team, or whatever. What do you expect? I hate listening to the FOX "A" team. Aikman is an A-hole, Collinsworth is all right, but I don't like the way that the other guy calls the game. Go back to baseball, dude.

Radio: Mistler sucks. Get a hold of the fact that Ronnie Mac has no place starting on an NFL team, and that Marcel Shipp is MAYBE a second-tier running back. Thanks for the in-depth analysis. I look forward to the updates from Jurecki, because he has more interesting things to say that Mistler.

 

[Stronso]

Summerall
Madden
Tim Green
Collinsworth
Cheryl Miller


I will amend my list as I remember some more doofuses


Props to Dave Pasch and Curt Keilback - both great radio guys!

They have seen every Cardinals game for the last 4 years and they STILL can't get names right.

I can't believe Curt Menefee still works for Fox. I remember a couple of years ago he made a madly inappropriate comment about Terry Bradshaw during a Cards game.

Something like, "Yeah, Terry's wife left him for a younger guy because he's too old to (something I don't remember)."

Ryan: "Man, that is a low blow."

Menefee: "That's okay, Bradshaw isn't smart enough to figure out I'm making fun of him."

The next break, I don't remember what Bradshaw said, but it looked like he was about to jump through the camera and pound Menefee if he could. I thought for sure we'd seen the last of Menefee, but no. He must have pictures of someone.

Now they do this ridiculous jabs at each other during NFL Game Breaks....it is totally ******** and I actually put the TV on mute and listen to Dave Pasch because he rules.

The only thing that sucks about that is, there is a delay, so Pasch is saying "INTERCEPTED", while the ball is still in the air on TV.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Joe Thiesman and the fat bald guy with a mustach!

Ugh! Like somebody borring a hole in my head with a drill.

I wish LT broke Theisman's jaw instead of his leg.

They banter like old ladies!

I have GOT to second this vote. Joe Theisman is the biggest, brain-dead, state-the-painfully-obvious, stupid, idiotic, ********, dumb-ass, inept, "I work at Burger King making famous whoppers" moron I have ever heard on television. Every time that guy speaks I want to choke the life out of him. I close my eyes and picture him writhing on the ground in pain after LT broke his leg and wish "Why God, why not his jaw?"

 

[Brian]

Theisman.

[Red Dawn]

Theisman said: "Nobody in the game of football should be called a genius. A genius is somebody like Norman Einstein."

Theisman/McGuire comedy routine: Well Paul, you havent missed one the whole season, do you think he got enough yardage for the first down?

I hate that schtick. Micheal Irvin and Deon Saunders suck too.

 

[vikesfan]

And the winners are...

WORST PRE-GAME SHOW:
ESPN "The Screaming Clowns"
Boomer, Irvin, (replacing ex-screamer Sharp), Young and even Tom Jackson (man have his analysis skills slipped).

(What is a consumate pro like Mortenson doing on there?)

WORST PLAY BY PLAY MAN (tie):
Al Michaels - Joe Buck

WORST COLOUR MAN:
Collinsworth - Madden (get some new material).


People who are good: Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, Chris Mortenson, D Johnstone (slipped a little this year) Maas, Gumble and Sims.

It is hard to argue with that analysis because we are often in the same position over and over and over and over.

Actually Dave has the unique ability to see into the future. The problem is that he can only see about two seconds into the future.
