Wow, Doublee, that's just uncanny. I'll just list the ones i agree with you on completely:
Bill Maas, Brian Baldinger, Theisman, Braves announcers, Berman, Bradshaw
Completely. I wouldn't even change your commentary on those.
On Madden, i'd just add that his repetition drives me CRAZY. "You see, that's just Randy Moss being Randy Moss. That's just Randy Moss stuff right there. Randy Moss is so fast, he just runs down the field and boom, he's gone. That's Randy Moss's game. Because that's what Randy Moss does. He runs right by you." Al: "He is SO fast." John: "Yur, yur right, yur absolutely right. That's Randy Moss. That's his game and that's what he does." And the hero worship and the general "duh" points bother me too, of course.
Other dudes who drive me nuts:
Joe Buck: Ready to jump on any bandwagon and has no spine. Cocky SOB who's always yapping through the action in baseball.
Matt Millen: I haven't forgotten. Just like Maas, he's a Madden-imitator. Not a very good GM either.
Hawk and Wimpy: Yes, i know the ChiSox fired Wimpy, but i'm still bitter and these two whining homers will always go together for me. If games were called the way they thought they should go, the Sox would win 140 games every year.
Tony Siragusa: He's not funny, he's not insightful, he's just fat.
Dickie V: Loudmouth caricature.
Billy Packer: Head is so far up the rear of Kryzeaewqaeweski and the ACC in general. Has a streak of 174 consecutive UK games called where he takes some cheap shot at Pitino or the Cats. Smug SOB. I think I'm going to go make a pinata of him right now...
Mike Shannon (STL Cards): It'd be okay that he was a homer if he wasn't so darn clueless. Gets by on personality.
Bill Walton: I've never heard so much stupid stuff come out of one mouth. It used to be pretty entertaining when Snapper Jones would basically tell him he's dead wrong-- highlight of the NBA telecasts of that era.
