Theismann is tough to listen to; the guy is a stiff and contradicts himself regularly. Kornheiser is much better, esp. when he calls out some of the ridiculous statments that Theismann has made. I like fantasy football, but Kornheiser needs to drop the whole “he’s on my fantasy team, so I’m happy!”
I can put up with Madden, at least from the standpoint of unintentional comedy. The worst guy imho is Phil Simms. My favorite part of every broadcast is his ESP, where he conveniently “dicussed what was going to happen at the break” or “was thinking the team should” (blitz/sit back/run/pass/) but neglects to mention it until after the play.

I liked John Madden & Pat Summerall broadcasting from Lambeau Field in Green Bay… those were the most pleasing broadcasters to my ears. Its never going to get any sweeter than that.
God I hate John Madden covering Green Bay games.
“Brett Favre is just a warrior. He’s just havin’ fun out there, slingin’ and slangin’. He only throws interceptions because he’s trying to make things happen. Because he’s a warrior. Sometimes you throw interceptions when you really want to win. It’s the mark of a great quarterback. Sometimes he makes throws that no other quarterback in the league is stupid enough to try, but that’s why he’s so great. What a warrior. SLURP SLURP SLURP”

He is a gunslinger.
Kornheiser should stick to PTI. He’s not good on MNF. I’m not a big fan of Theismann either. Tirico does good for play by play. ESPN should have dished out $$$ to get Al Michaels and John Madden. Al Michaels and MNF go hand in hand, it’s weird not to see him on there.
If you had to choose someone from ESPN, they should have chosen Sean Salisbury and Ron Jaworski, they are good. Actually, all the ESPN football guys are good, so any combination of the studio guys would work.

Buck is OK except when he goes off on stupid shit, like Moss fake mooning Lambeu. “That is a absolute disgrace”
Puleeeeze.
Theisman is a fucking idiot, and never shuts his mouth.
TK is a little out of place at the moment, partly because Theisman never shuts up.[/quote]
Joe Buck shouldn’t have gone off like that. The reason Randy Moss did that is because, when the visiting team bus leaves the stadium, the Packers fans moon the bus, and he was just giving it back to them. And Moss didn’t even pull down his pants, it was just a gesture, unlike the Packers fans, who really pull down their pants and moon the bus and opposing players.
I can take or leave TK, but he is FAR better on PTI. Theisman can get annoying and Tirico is doing a pretty good job at PBP. I would love to see Madden and Maguire doing MNF, but I don’t see it happening.
I’d have to vote for Jerry Glanville as the WORST announcer of all time.
