I like Kevin Harlan and Ian Eagle. Kevin Harlan is great at times though.


I love the good old baseball guys with personality like Uecker and Vin Scully. I loved Al Michael's in the 90's when he did baseball.

Pete Van Wieren, Don Sutton and Skip Carey every day of the summer most of my childhood.

John Schambi is pretty good.

Larry Munson was an incredible listen.

Wes Durham is one of my favorites too.

Pet Peeves, boring, homogeneous network guy and over exuberant yeller for no apparent reason.

The current or at least the last few years Sunday Night Baseball broadcast is a disaster.

I'd take a Bill Walton and Marv Albert combo any game anywhere.

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.



the best.

Jim Gray and his general tone-deafness in his questions. Never missed a chance to try to make a name for himself.

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.

We/Us is a huge pet peeve of mine as well.

A couple years ago Jonny Gomes(who was like one year removed from playing) was dropping back in my days all over the place it was hilarious.

Anytime a former player talks about how "soft" current players are.

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.

Bismack is DPNFSO tonight.
