    Top 50 Worst Announcers in Sports

    Turn it off!: The 50 worst announcers in sports today - Y! Sports Blogs - Yahoo! Sports

    I have to say the "Captain Obvious" Dan Dierdork is about 45 spots to low.


    Bleeding Silver and Black for over four decades...42 years and counting !!!

    "...there was one constant, one center, one captain, one Original Raider...his name was Jim Otto, his number was 00...for more than a full decade, he was the standard of excellence by which centers were judged in professional football"...

    Good list, but disagree with the positions of those people. Joe Buck is ranked too low, there have never been a Yankees-Red Sox game nor an NFC East sissyfight he didn't like. ALso is one of the biggest asskissers of teams with lots of tradition & history. I swear all he says are these type of gems:

    "The Yankees & Red Sox are baseball's biggest rivalry, the Yanks have 26 World Championships, the Cowboys & Redskins is the NFL's most heated rivalry, the NFC East is the most prestigious division in football, et al & ad nausem" WOW, is that all you can say Buck?

    Also, I gotta say Steve Phillips is up there, I swear is there a bigger Red Sox asskisser in the entire sports media than that guy? Watch an episode of Baseball Tonight & you will see what we Angels fans have put up from that assclown.

    Yeah, Joe Buck is terrible. I can't watch games he calls anymore. Judging by the 2007 playoffs covered by TBS, Chip Caray is eerily similar to Buck, so I don't know why there is so much separation between the two.

    Absolutely. Is this list just announcers, or does it include "analysts" as well? Cause I don't recall Skip Bayless, John Kruk, Tiki Barber, Merril Hoge, Mike Francessa, etc., announcing games, they're just putrid "analysts" with agendas as far as I know.

    And regardless, Steve Phillips deserves to be MUUUUUUUUCH higher on this list like you said.

    How on God's green Earth was this guy a GM!?!?!?!?

    I also agree with the guy that said "The Hawk" deserves to be much higher than he is ranked. That guy is perhaps the biggest homer announcer in the 4 major sports.

    I think it's funny that multiple people (including Madden) are in both the Top 50 Best and Top 50 Worst

    This might be about about football but every time I hear Walton on tv I want to shatter my ear drums with a dull butter knife

    There is nothing much he can say except for what I mentioned that he is "right" on. He states the obvious and is so f*cking lame as hell.
