Who is the announcer/commentator you hate the most

I'd have to go with Kornheiser and that douche bag that does the hot seat.
Kornheiser has no insight or decent knowledge to go along with his whiny voice and constant nay-sayery. The other guy just needs to taste death.

I would have to agree that Teeny Kornholer is the worst. I really dislike the entire MNF crew. They are so bland. When they showed MNF highlights of Brett Farve's career it reminded me how much greater Al Michaels was than anyone of the current bunch. Those clips were so memorable, not just because of what Brett did but the way Al called them. I can't imagine saying that about the current crop.
In the NBA, Hubie Brown is by far the worst. The man's voice really grates and he is constantly saying things like, "You have to like the way Tim Duncan is playing right now." Well no, Hubie - I don't. I'm not rooting for San Antonio!! He constantly misuses the personal pronoun which reveals his perspective is that of a coach and he is so egocentric in the way he ignores the audience.
I am baffled why he is still on the air. He must have some dirt on some TNT executives.
Hubie needs to go gently into that good night and I'd be more than happy to help him. I pray to the Almighty that man isn't calling games this year- I haven't seen him so far. *crosses fingers*

Ditto on Musberger; I only hate Corso in video games, but otherwise he's all right.
Mussberger is intolerable.
Bill Walton is God, because he is obviously completely fucking nuts.

God, Corso is such a fucking homer, except whenever he comes to Ohio State it seems. That's why I hate Mark May, I have not once heard him say something positive about Ohio State. That pisses me off. Digger Phelps is just a fucking douchebag because of his stupid ass sideline antics against SU when he was a Notre Dame coach.
So basically, Mark May and Digger Phelps are on my list for vindicative reasons. I think Corso is a fucking idiot. As is Mussberger.
And I'll have to agree with Liquid here. I rarely watch UFC shit (I should watch it more), but when I do GOD Joe Rogan is fucking annoying.

Bill Walton is also a huge Grateful Dead fan. I remember one broadcast where he introduced the game, "It is a beautiful day here in Miami with the lovely yellow sky and blue sun.." I am sure the man has done his share of acid. He is crazy but he loves basketball and it shows.

Him and Marv Albert are the best NBA announcers IMO. I wish Al Michaels still called a few NBA games a year but his current network doesn't broadcast the games.
I also loved it when Charles Barkley and the crew from 'Inside the NBA' called a game once. They should call at least one game a year. Their broadcast was more entertaining than the actual game they called.

Bill Walton is concerned with three things: Basketball, the Dead and intergalactic astral projection.
AL Michaels is THE GOD of sports broadcasting.
Charles Barkley just has no sense of what to talk about, he just spouts random awesomeness.

Kornheiser (anyone who doesn't have this moron at the top of their list loses all credibility with me.)
Lou Holtz (This mush-mouthed fool can be entertaining just for the sheer stupidness of some of the things he says...ie trying to make a case for Notre Dame being ranked 2 at the end of last season)
That broad who does the third tier Big Ten games on ESPN2. (Yes, when it comes to football I'm sexist as hell. Much for the same reason that I hate Kornheiser. I think that to really understand the game on the level that qualifies you to be an analyst you have to have played the game.)

worst team:
Mike Patrick and Dook Vitale. Both constantly slob coach K's knob, even in non-dook games, and DookieV rarely even talks about the game in progress.

Funny shit. Check out the "Gems" section. This is my personal favorite -
This was during the bottom of the 9th inning of the 2001 World Series, just before the Diamondbacks started their comeback against Mariano Rivera: "You know, hitters have a tough time hitting knuckleballs, catchers have a tough time catching knuckleballs, and hitters have a tough time hitting Mariano Rivera." Does Rivera throw a knuckleball? No. Did anyone on the Arizona or New York staffs throw a knuckleball at that time? No. Were Phil Neikro, Charlie Hough, or Tim Wakefield within 300 miles of Bank One Ballpark at that time? I seriously doubt it. After that comment, Joe Buck carried on with the play-by-play as if it were never said. I'm sure he had no idea where McCarver was going with that one.

Other than those two knob-gobblers I would say Corso and Joe Rogan also make me wanna plunge a knife into their skull.

I'm sure I said Joe Buck originally, but that was a year ago.
And I still fucking hate Joe Buck.

Yes.
I would rather Mccarver did every single Cubs game for the whole season than have to listen to Joe Buck do the season opener on ESPN.

Wow. That may be one of the craziest and boldest statements I have ever heard. In real life or otherwise.
You must really loathe the guy.
Any particular reasons? I mean, I don't really dig him either, but McCarver for a whole Cubs season? Yikes.
