    Harry was something alright!

    Always enjoyed Summer all and Madden for football...

    Criqui and Trumpy for AFC football in the 80s.

    Enberg was terrific, too.

    This is for you @thisistheshow - Jim Rice was actually a pretty good player.

    Denny Matthews.
    Royals radio announcer since the team started up in 1969.
    Why is he so good? All he does is talk about the game, not himself.
    That's a mistake many announcers make, but Denny never did.
    Hall of Famer BTW.

    Herb Carneal, who did the Twins games was fantastic. In the 1960's, he teamed with a guy similar to Carey named Halsey Hall.

    GREAT radio!

    3 martini Caray hands down for baseball.

    For SEC football I gotta go with one of my bar cigar buddies, Brad Nessler.
    Madden/Cosell tie for me for pro f-ball.
    Marv Albert.
    For soccer there's this Irishman who is stupid crazy with innuendo jokes and he sounds drunk half the time...him and the guy that does the Spanish announcing with the awesome GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL.

    Cosell was polarizing. I give him vote on NFL and of course boxing.

    Harry Doyle?

    There's a lot of legends in this thread. So many sports memories tied to the guys doing play by play and color commentary. Great thread.

    Not the GOAT, but a new guy who deserves a mention........Romo.

    If he gets into the HOF, he'll have a hard time figuring out which dress to wear.

    They told him not to get his panties in a wad and he said “darn”.

    He is a much better announcer than he was QB!

    I haven't given up on Dak yet. He needs the right OC calling plays. Dak has the tools to be a very good if not great QB.
