What a pleasure to hear him interacting with Howard.

    There was no better voice to listen to than Pat Summerall. When he teamed up with Madden, that was football for me in the 90s. It didn't get any better

    Always liked Dick Stockton especially when he did play by play for the Red Sox in the 70's on WSBK. Also thought the team of Lindsey Nelson, Ralph Kiner,Bob Murphy for the early Mets were a great medley. Lindsey also did football as well. Wore some wild jackets. Pat O'Brien was good.

    Growing up in the LA area, I am unable to consider Schully or even Chick Hearn who was just great. So Bob Uecker gets my vote and that is not by default. Uecker brought something to the booth that was truly original and experienced as well as entertaining.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Harry with a 3 martini lunch in him before gametime, classic.

    Define Cosell as you will. He was my favorite.

    Curt Gowdy my all time favorite. MLB playoffs and Super Bowls were not the same
    without him. I did not like Joe Garagiola.

    Dan Kelly for hockey. I think he did St. Louis Blues home games.

    Did not care for Cosell or his Monday night crew at all. So happy when Al Michaels took over
    for them.

    I'm one of the few people who do not like Vin Scully. I love the guy. Just not his voice.

    Joe Buck has and will always suck. Worse than dallasactuary.

    Michaels is great...getting a bit old though.

    I know I'm the only one who feels this way but I think Doc Emerick is absolutely brutal. Tries so hard to be poetic and it is always so forced. Doesn't do a good job calling the game either.

    Best guys are the ones whose name i don't know. They did their job seamlessly and without fanfare.
