Though I'm not a big hockey fan, I miss the (mid-1990s) days when the primary, national announcing teams were Doc Emrick/John Davidson and Gary Thorne/Bill Clement.

In tennis I really like both of the McEnroe brothers, though most of ESPN's analysts are pretty good. (I do find Chris Evert annoying though.) Chris Fowler is a good "play-by-play" (bit of a misnomer for televised tennis) guy too, and he clearly follows and likes the sport, unlike many non-tennis specific sports broadcasters.

With the NFL, I think the color guy I like the most currently is Dan Fouts. His PBP partner Ian Eagle is very good too. Solomon Wilcots is a very underrated color analyst IMO.

In basketball, I like Hubie Brown as a color guy and think very highly of Kenny Smith as a studio analyst. (I also really liked Steve Kerr and Greg Anthony as analysts, but neither are announcing currently for different reasons.)

The whole Inside the NBA on TNT bunch is hysterical.

I respect Boomer as a person but he gets annoying at the Home Run Derby.

I find Berman annoying....liked him in the 80s....but he's worn on me over the years.
