I can't stand Dick Endberg with his endless "OH MYs".

I like Marv Albert for basketball: "YEEESS".

The best commentators are the British soccer announcers; very funny, and they only speak when necessary.

I like Martine Gaillard.

I loathe Ron Maclean and his painful puns.

I think Chris Berman is great too.

Howard Cosell was excellent. DOWN GOES FRAZIER DOWN GOES FRAZIER! Berman's whole act is basically an homage to Cosell.

Howard William Cosell, born Howard William Cohen (March 25, 1918 – April 23, 1995) was an American sports journalist on American television. His abrasive personality and tendency to speak his mind, often in erudite terms unusual for a sportscaster, made him, according to one poll, both the most-liked and most-hated television reporter in the country.
