Edit - my list will include Joe Buck of course, Charlie Steiner, Heinshon, Marv Albert, Reggie Miller, Clyde Drexler and Breen. |

Lived in Davis during the Lakers-Kings rivalry. The Sacramento announcers were the biggest homers ever!

I'm a huge fan of the Cubs and watch just about every game they play. I can't say I recall that kind of Javie love from Buck. That said, if Joe Buck has it, can you really blame him? Javie is pure joy to watch.

Go back and watch the replay of 2016 NLCS. I swear I was beginning to wonder if we we're going to see one of those corny marriage proposals on the big screen. Buck would be the one on his knees. Baez is a hotdog much in the mold of Puig. Good to great player but chases too much. |

Can't even believe I forgot to mention Steiner. He is just so brutally awful. You have no f'ing idea what is happening if you happen to be in the car and have the Dodger game on the radio. He's so, so bad.
Miller is another one I should've added.
I think Marv is great, though. Even in his older age, he's still much better at his job than most basketball announcers are. |

JASON WHITLOCK Every since he had the audacity to body shame Serena Williams.
TOMMY HEINSOHN Just about every time a Celtic is called for a foul he says, WOW, I gotta see that again as if Celics never foul.

Whitlock is a troll in the tradition of Skip Bayless. He aggressively takes a contrarian view... probably without regard to what he really thinks... for the sake of eyeballs.
I think, in general, I do better with folks who may be annoying, unpleasant sounding or whatever... if it seems at least that they are just genuinely that way. It is the folks that just seem inauthentic that are harder to stomach.

1. Joe Buck - For all reasons previously stated plus his idea that he is a ladies man.
2. Screaming A Smith - I don't like screaming, but even worse I don't like terrible takes on sports.
3. Ted Leitner - It is a San Diego thing. But trust me on this.
4. Mike Tirico - Seems like everything he says is scripted and forced. Not to mention some of his antics towards female co-workers at ESPN make Harvey Weinstein look like Mr. Rodgers.
5. Skip Bayless - Took a respectable print journalism legacy and ruined it by going on TV and showing his "personality".

Really? Never got that vibe from him. He struck me as a goody two shoes type, but not creepy. |

What's wrong with Hubie Brown? He breaks down the game in a way that's easy for the average fan to understand. Plus he's upbeat and he tells it like it is. He's almost like the NBA's version of John Madden, without the weird rambling tangent stories.

Not to mention that all the plastic surgery makes him downright creepy looking.

Yeah he really messed up. Ruined a legacy for $5 million a year.
I didn't know Skip had plastic surgery!
| Quote: | Skip Bayless
That's funny. Trust me, Sean, I haven't had any plastic surgery and I wear very little makeup. Just look how battered I look. I need plastic surgery and more makeup, especially when I stay up till 1:30 Eastern watching NBA and get up at 4:30. |

Jorge Perez-Navarro
Skip Bayless
Charles Barkley
Phil Simms
Troy Aikman
Dick Vitale
Chris Berman
Navarro makes me cringe more than anyone else when he commentates on soccer games. He tries to be passionate but he sounds ridiculous and I literally feel embarrassed when I listen to him.
Berman always annoyed me too. He talks to his audience like they are all children. |

Nope, it's your eyesight that needs attention. Only need reading glasses. Is this your belief? Is there any proof? I don't take notice of how men look. I've heard SAS say what a health nut Skip is and how he stays in the gym.

Now that I know you're a Gilbert fan I take back every mean thing I ever said about you wearing make-up, and trust me that's a lot of mean things to take back.

Thank you, Sean. I have thick, battered skin.

OOooohhh . . . I see, he claims he hasn't had plastic surgery when one look at his face clearly reveals the obvious signs of a facelift, so he must not have had one. And the fact that he works out at the gym somehow means he wouldn't get a facelift.
Can't argue with logic like that I guess. 
BTW, jodeke, you ever heard of a thing called "vanity"?

Soooo you don't have any proof you're just making a observation. Could be your eyesight that needs attention. When last did you see a optometrist? I go once a year. 👁🗨
Yeah, I believe Skip when he says he hasn't had any surgery. If you don't that's your prerogative. I get the impression you don't like Skip.
Working out has nothing to do with facial surgery. Just says a man takes care of himself. There are facial muscles exercises that tighten the skin..
Yep, I've heard of it. Skips not shown me any signs of being vain.
