For football, I like a few. To me, Dick Enberg is the ulimate guy for anything. Al Micheals is next. Who do you like?

    I like Al Michaels too. Will never forget his 1980 call of the US Hockey team's game against the Soviets. Do you beleive in Miracles? Speaking of which my family and I saw this movie on TV a few weeks ago: Miracle. It was a pretty good movie but nothing was like the real thing.

    My former college roommate went to the US-Soviet exhibition game at Madison Square Garden about a week before and the USSR annihilated the Americans. This made what happened even more unbelievable.

    "he Soviets had expected to win the tournament with the same ease with which they had dispatched all comers at the 1976 Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. Further buoying their confidence was the 10-3 licking they had applied to the Americans in an exhibition at Madison Square Garden just one week before the world arrived at Lake Placid."

    Sorry for hijacking your thread image but this reminded me of Al Michael's great play calling and it made Michaels famous.

    I like Sean McDonough. When he called SEC games for CBS, he was awesome. His voice changes during a big play, and it gets you excited.

    Vin Scully, naturally. I was spoiled growing up in LA with the likes of Vin and Chick Hearn, not to mention the great Kings' announcer Bob Miller.

    I agree.

    I lived in SoCal in the late 70s, and loved listening to both Vin and Chick. It's amazing that Vin has been doing the Dodgers since the Brooklyn days. And Chick kept going with the Lakers up until his death at age 81.
