kevin harlan is the best. i'll never forget when he was doing an awful monday night football game a couple of years ago when someone ran out onto the field and he called it like a regular play, but with the most excitement he had uttered all night.

I hate it when people go all in on a player for the game and make it super obvious they're homering. and then it starts to go the wrong way and they fully homer on the other team for the duration, or until the other team makes a comeback.
just call the game, I don't care about who visited your house last weekend.

I hate when people do this in general, but the University of Tennessee local radio guys constantly refer to the team as "we" or "us" like they are part of the actual uniform wearing team. "What we need to do is get better pressure on the quarterback." "We really got our offense going." "I can't believe they called that penalty on us."
Stuff like that. Just a personal pet peeve, but I absolutely hate it. Like I said, I know a lot of people do it, but it's so aggravating listening to it on the radio. And maybe it's topped with the fact that I can't stand UT - I only listen to it when they play teams I root for (Roll Tide!!!!) and I'm driving....

Jackson once said “Gladys is here but the Pips didn’t show up to work today” during a game where LeBron was dominating but the rest of the Cavs were doing nothing and I thought that was funny.

the best.
It's just so damn good! and he caps it with the Musburgeresque ("That was the most exciting thing to happen tonight!")
Funk just designated Bismack Biyombo with 3 min left in the first quarter. He said Bismack "looked like he was trying to kill a snake with a stick" after a particularly horrific push shot in the lane.
