50 Worst announcers in sports today

I agree with a few of them, but it's all subjective really.

Discuss.

[Providence A's]

I have no respect for any list that doesn't have Rex Hudler on it.

[love_that_reefer]

I really don't respect anything Yahoo sports says.

[Saber]

Merchant needs to be much higher, with Hudler and Buck.

Rex Hudler: You have to be patient, man. Just like I told the Angels fans to be patient about Steve Finley. You can't always get instant gratification in just five months into the regular season.

I honestly really like Rex Hudler and Joe Buck. I know people rag on them, but I enjoy their broadcasts.

John Sterling, Emmitt Smith, Pam Ward, Shannon Sharpe, Skip Bayless, Ken Harrelson should be higher...did I miss Bryant Gumbel? Or was that just an egregious omission from the list?

[Kingdom]

What do some of those guys even announce? It has "show analysts", "sideline reporters", and ****ing Cold Pizza people on it. What a waste of internets space.

from all the games I've heard Hudler do, he was terrible. he comes across as a huge fanboy/homer. back in the day when I had MLB.tv the games were always announced by the home team's guys (not sure if they still do that). Every time the A's played at the Angels I was forced to listen to that schmuck. Finally, I'd just put it on mute. He didn't know the names of guys on the other team, never gave them credit for anything, and was just a cheerleader saying stupid shit.

Prime example: The A's were losing and Chavez hit a 2-run homer to give the A's the 3 - 2 lead. He says "Oh, he just got lucky there!" No...how about he did what he's supposed to do as a hitter? Your pitcher made a mistake and he crushed it. How is that luck?

I know they're supposed to "root" for their team and such, but it just seems beyond that to me. The Indians and White Sox guys around that same time (2004-2006?) were just as bad IMHO. I'm not a Red Sox fan as you know, but I'd rather listen to those guys than Rex Hudler.

Greg Gumbel? Gumbel-to-Gumbel lol. The way Greg Gumbel says Chicago makes me laugh. He says "the Chi-caaaaw-go Bears"...I prefer Chi-cah-go myself, but it always made me chuckle.

[browntown653]

I don't mind Greg. Bryant - at least on NFL games - was horrendous.

[DravenX]

The Phillies announcer is really annoying to me. I really can't stand his voice.

[Kiluckzle]

The Phillies announcer is really annoying to me. I really can't stand his voice.

Harry Kalas (the old guy with the monotone voice)?

[DravenX]

Might be. The guy who called the WS.
