I am drawing blanks right now.
I like Harrelson, he's pretty good. I think you meant Jon Gruden plus Ron Jaworski was removed from the both so that you don't have to worry about him. The TV guy who does play-by-play for the Bruins would be Jack Edwards. Maybe replace him with Don Orsillo who did Springfield Falcons games and Beanpot hockey tournaments. :dubiou s:: eek:

Bill Simmons- Celtics fan boy, thinks he's knows it all but doesn't, not funny
Chris Broussard- Annoying, makes outrageous statements/ stupid predictions, brags about his fake sources
Magic Johnson- Just terrible, doesn't really know how to break down the game of basketball, good thing he's leaving ESPN

Agree 100%. Pens games are watched without sound because they are so bad. Milbury is also a terrible analyst. He analyzes like he coached-- horribly.

Hilariously terrible.
I bet that was terrible. Who is better, Bob Papa or Brad Nessler?

The Yankees announcer is John Sterling and what's wrong with Musburger? I can take him, even when CBS fired him.

Love him on Pardon the Interruption, but he didn't belong in the booth
Joe Buck, hands down. Even my wife thinks he's an idiot with the nonsense he spews, and she knows precious little about football to begin with!

Howard Cosell was pretty descent in boxing; you can hear him on the movie Ali.

I am watching Penn State, they have some gruff sounding female announcer, but she is doing an OK job, keeping it interesting at least.
My son walked in, said "What's that, a girl announcing the game? They should have a guy doing that"
I said"Well, she's a lot better than Verne Lundquist"
To which he responds "Well that's not saying much."

Would it be Beth Mowins? ESPN removed Pam Ward from the booth. And plus many people say that Tony Kornheiser was the worst for Monday Night Football.
