Think carefully

And recall which tv sports reporter, play by play,color analyst or other personality was your most favorite and least favorite in early broadcasting. There are too many to discuss if you include those who have appeared since the games began being televised every day. My two least favorite ‘entertainers’ are Jim Lampley and Howard Cossell and Dan Meredith and Dizzy Dean would be at or near the top. Some guys made the games even more fun that they were and some could ruin a good evening just by showing up.
If you are a Tiger fan you better have Lampley up there!!!

Read up on him sometime. He is about as bad as you would imagine. A real zero who thinks he is it.

Somewhere in my vast collection of Tiger news items from olden days I have a lot of the columns that he wrote during our dark probation years. I wouldn’t dare read them again. I tried to put this creep on the back burner, Chapel Hill man too! Don’t ever forget that.

Anybody mention Beano Cooke yet?

I always wondered what park bench they got him off of... He and Lampley (baby blue unc ties with a hint of domestic violence)...those were the worst...

Thanks for the well thought out replies. Beats the heck out of the continuous BB comments. I knew you could do it!

He was getting up there in age already when I was growing up. But was still awesome.

I cannot believe no one has said #### Vitale. How can you be
Feb 18, 2020, 7:43 PM

more annoying than that?? But not far behind is Gary Danielson! I always liked the combo of #### Enberg and Billy Packer for basketball!
Todd Ellis is certainly annoying, but I won't include him because he's just an amateur local yocal!

Curt Gowdy was one of the greats in the early days. Also Frank Gifford.
Surprised that Todd Ellis doesn't show up here more as worst of the worse, but then I suppose the expectation was for Clemson greats and those on the national stage, and we all know that Ellis is cycling out.

All time favorites: #### Enberg John Madden Pat Summerall Al Michaels Frank Gifford Chris Berman
All of the above back in the heyday before all the bs "shock value" and political shyte took over the sports entertainment business.
Least faves I don't really recall other than modern day goofs like Gary Danielson.
And for goodness sakes: Disney needs to put Monday Night Football BACK ON ABC! And get some balls back in the booth.
