After watching the US Open this weekend and seeing how well ESPN's Scott Van Pelt did it got me thinking about some sportscasters that I really enjoy.
I could sit down all day and listen to Marty B and Matt Vasgersian call a baseball game. Doc Emerick and Gary Thorne call a hockey game. Ian Darke, Martin Tyler and Andy Gray call a soccer match. When it comes to football, I enjoy the entire MNF crew and Al Michaels. College, I truly enjoy Joe Tessitore, Brad Nessler and Brent Musberger.
This was something I wanted to toss out there to see what opinions others have.

As for the other side of things, I can't stand Chris Berman or Pam Ward. I think both are absolutely brutal. I would imagine I will be adding more to this list in the future.

I will give props to Al Michaels and Pat Summeral. Add to the hate: Joe Buck, Bryant Gumbel, and Charles Barkley. Will expand.

I think the best crew is the Big Monday college basketball crew with Shulman, Bilas and Raft. Work well together, Bilas is the most knowledgable and best analyst out there for the college game.
For baseball, I'm biased, but Gary Thorne calling the 'Goodbye homerun' for an O's homer is the best.
Doris Burke is by far the worst. She doesn't know the game one bit, her voice makes me want to stick my hand in the sand and never come back. I will refuse to watch a game that she is calling. Also Dave Lapham is unbearable.

Jay Bilas is a thing of beauty! The guy absolutely knows his stuff but definitely doesn't talk down to you. Gary Thorne calling any sport is incredible. The guy just has it!
I think I am in the minority when I say this, but, I like Dave Lapham.

You make me sad. If I can't watch the Bengals on TV I refuse to listen to the radio. That guy's "color analysis" has me cocking my head to the side going, "really?... REALLY?" I remember another instance of him describing a linebacker about to make a play as floating around the ball like a bumble bee about to land on a flower. Again, really?.... REALLY?

Also, I know this guy isn't a sportscaster but I can't stand Jim Rome. Hell, I can't stand Skip Bayless as well.
Both make me want to punch myself in the face

I think Skip takes the other side just to cause problems. Rome is just a dick.
