Least Favorite NFL announcer past or present

[camero]

1. Matt Millen

He can't run a football team either.

[Mobius]

2. no doubt

I am a die hard Packer fan. Watching Millen cover Green Bay Games covered by that loser was torture. And woe be tide to Packer fans when Matt the Walrus got to cover a Green Bay / Viqueens game. I swear , Vikes would be down by 31 in the 4th with 5 min left, nay 3min left , and he'd be like "A touchdown return, on side kick...blah blah blah...This Game Ain't Over Folks".I also grew weary of his segways into his sort of glorious past. :eyes:
He also was a wuss, when he had to cover games out doors a mortal sin to a Packer fan

[camero]

8. He was

he was a wuss in cold weather in his playing days too. He was just too arrogant for my tastes. After him, the TV stayed on mute.

[SmileyBoy]

19. Um, please no defaming the Vikings.

You wouldn't like it if I started throwing a few "Packqueers" and "Whackers" in this thread, now would you???

Signed,
A lifelong Vikings fan

[Mobius]

24. NIce. Combine football and anti-gay slurs!

Happy day.

Sorry, but Viqueens, Packqueers, Fudgepackers, etc. are a little unnecessary on what is supposed to be a progressive board. Will we be calling women "cunts" next?

And no, I am not easily offended.

[Mobius]

26. I called them queens which is not necessarily a gay slur

I feel that the Viking fan's over-the-board, exemplify their general malaise.

[tishaLA]

32. So what is it then...pro-royalty?

Give me a break.

[Mobius]

35. name one drag queen that would be a good tackle

Gay men call feminine gay men, queens.

[tishaLA]

37. OK Gotcha

You're only slurring effeminate gay men and/or drag queens. Cool.

[Mobius]

47. it is not a slur, to say a feminine gay man most likely would not make

a good tackle. Gods help the packers if they ever were stuck with my lazy sorry ass on the line. The NFL is the most elite group of atheletes in the world. Most Olympians could not be a good NFL player. To say a certain group of people would not make good tackles, is not a slur, 99.9% of the population could not do it.

[tishaLA]

54. Happily

the mods who removed the offensive post must have thought it was a slur too. I find it indefensible and I'm glad the post is gone.

[Bertha Venation]

38. You never saw "The World According to Garp," did you?

Educate yourself.

And yes, it's a slur.

[Mobius]

50. John Lithgow is not a good example.

For one, it's a movie character (not real) I AM NOT SAYING AT ALL that gay players cant be NFL hall of famers. There are, Im sure many gay players. I am saying that there are not many queens. Not all gay men are queens.

[SmileyBoy]

29. I'm sorry, but when someone starts knockin' on my Vikes...

...it gets the blood boiling.

And no, I'm not a filthy homophobe. Take the insults with a grain of salt.

[tishaLA]

31. I didn't call you that

I said they were anti-gay slurs. Need proof? Shaq calling the Sca Kings the Queens. It's classic. And it's revolting.

[Mobius]

34. the Vikings are a shame to their namesake.

You deign to insult Brett Favre for a few months of vicodin use 8 years ago? Hes won 3 MVP's and a Superbowl since then. He's [layed two great seasons with a broken thumb, it is literally glued together. He was hit so hard he was puking up blood, but finished the game. That same week, he has half of his intestines removed and played the same week. That is a warrior of old. Did you know Denny Green bribed a Viking cheerleader 10k to have his unwanted child aborted? Dont even get me started on Randy Moss' delusions about his gradeur...:eyes:

[LTR]

39. HEY! Take this crap off this board!

And take it over to the one I've been working on lately.

My Vikings/Packers rivalry board:

http://pvsmackboard.proboards29.com/index.cgi

Look for the "Fight Club" forum.

(Note: Not trying to pimp my board, but just doing a public service of ridding the sports bickering from this thread. Plus, I've been busy with it for a couple weeks, and it's a real labor of love. :) )

BTW: Slackers Suck!!! Vikings rule over your puny asses!

[Mobius]

25. What do you call a Minnesota Viking with a Superbowl ring?

A thief!!!!!!!!!:hurts:

[SmileyBoy]

27. I have NO IDEA what a Seperbowl ring is.

Not in my lexicon.

[Mobius]

28. wont likey be anytime soon either by the looks of your team

ROTFL

[SmileyBoy]

30. Hey, I accepted that fact a LOOONG time ago.

Doesn't mean I'll abandoning my team anytime soon. I've been cheering for them for over 15 years.

[Mobius]

33. wuss dome team

imo

[LTR]

42. You havn't been following free agency, then

Vikings have really built up their team.

As for Green Bay, it looks like Fartve will be around for another three years.

And the cornerbacks/safeties of the NFL couldn't be happier! :)

SLACKERS SUCK!!!

[Archae]

3. Howard!

Howard Cossell.

I always detested him.
(I'm showing my age, aren't I?) :-)

[guitar man]

4. Me Too

I..just..couldn't....stand...to...listen...to...Howard....talk.

[Mobius]

6. No, At least Howard COVERED the play by play

I like to know thigs like : What down is it?, How many yards till first down? A player is down , who is it and FOLLOWUP. A touchdown was scored, by whom? ...etc... I dont want to hear about Madden's team , or his stupid deformed turkey.

[JaySherman]

11. Or the 3rd string tackle's 2nd cousin twice removed

sitting in the 5th row :eyes:.

[camero]

7. I liked Howard

He reminded me of Captain Kirk with how he spoke. :)

[Ladyhawk]

14. I couldn't stand him either.

[OneBlueSky]

15. I don't know where to file this, but . . .

I learned of John Lennon's death from Howard Cossell . . . was watcing the Monday night game when he announced the news . . . "irony" doesn't quite fit, and I've run out of other possibilities . . .

[bif]

56. Horrible Howard!

I agree. Hated the sound of his pompous voice.

[JaySherman]

5. Chris Collinsworth

Even more of an arrogant prick then Theismann, if that's possible. He used to bag on my Jets mercilessly :grr:. Got to the point where whenever he was doing color commentary, I muted the TV.

Madden is pretty annoying too. Not arrogant. He just never shuts up.

Glanville is so flat out stupid it's funny.

[Mobius]

9. Well Collinsworth never really jipped Favre of respect

and he didnt seem biased against the pack. He was however a pencil necked , arrogant , lost in the glory years jealous has been. :shrug:

[SmileyBoy]

22. No commentator is supposed to slam on the Packers!!!

The Packers are God's Chosen Team, didn't you know that??? People are only supposed to root for the Packers and NO ONE ELSE!!! Brett Favre and the rest of the Packer players are not humans, but 48 guardian angels sent from above from God Almighty to SHOW ALL OF US THE LIGHT OF THE MIGHTY PACK!!!

And after Brett Farve's dad died, God (and all the other commentators working under The Lord Almighty, you see, they're his angels too) decided that because of that, it was DESTINY for him and the MIGHTY PACKERS to win another Super Bowl!!!

Oh wait, that never happened...

[Mobius]

10. Try not to pick Miller just because hes a freaky sellout

Try to concentrate on his actual football "commentating" which was sub par, many times meandering into obscure historical unrelated references.

[ronzo]

12. Dendu's a given...

and I never did like Howard, but you know who sucks? Dierdork!

[Mobius]

13. you have inspired me to make flash gordon avatars

off topic, sorry

[Marius]

16. John Madden.

He's too stupid to announce. Some classics:

"In order to score points, you have to make touchdowns."
or
"In order to win the game, you have to have more points than the opposing team."

WELL DUH!

Dennis Miller is a very very very close second. He said stupid jokes and most of the country didn't get them...and worse yet, he thought they were funny. Stupid Dubya suckup.

[Wonco_the_Sane]

18. Madden

LOL have too agree...

"that guy didn't want to go down"

"that was a middle return...you can also have a right side return, or even a left side return..."

also awful:
His "big eaters"
ANY TIME THE PEN COMES OUT! lol
all his commercials :)
His tendency to always favor the favored team (pet peeve of mine)
....it's real late or I would go on

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. I....hate...John....Madden. As an announcer that is.

He always screws up team names, player names, coaches names, scores...I could go on.

[youngred]

43. The Yogi Berra of football

a moronic idiot. I hope I never have to hear him call another game. RETIRE JOHN PLEASE

[Spirochete]

17. Don Meredith

O.J. Simpson was somewhat annoying too, but Meredith really got on my nerves. I had no problem with Cosell.

[OhioStateProgressive]

23. other: Boomer Esiason(nt)

[Limbought]

36. What about Lush Limbought?

[JohnLocke]

48. Ditto...heads.

[LTR]

40. O.J. Simpson

He was awful.

Of the ones listed, I say Joe Thiesmann. What a smug, annoying asshole.

[av8rdave]

44. Hey...you left "Stoner" Limbaugh out of the poll!!!

He had the job, briefly.

av8rdave

[CO Liberal]

45. HOW-Ard Co-Sell....

[lpbk2713]

46. I would vote for Dennis Miller but I don't want to dignify him

by calling him a football announcer. I would have to apologize to all the other football announcers. He was simply there as a stooge to provide some silliness when things got slow. Problem is, he didn't do a good job at that either.

[PVnRT]

49. Dennis Miller, with Dick Engberg a close second

Or however the hell you spell his name.

[Mobius]

51. ooooooooooo I forgot about dick

didnt he cover figure skating too? there seems to be some sort of conflict there.

[Zorra]

52. Rush Limbaugh. n/t

[Donkeyboy75]

53. Beasley Reese

Ugh.

[Eumenides]

55. Had to vote other

As I loathe and despise the entire Fox Pregame and postgame announcers. Oh, and their stupid crashing robots that appear between segments. I swear I can feel my brain cells die, one by one whenever I watch that crap. :evilfrown:

[Mrs. Venation]

57. John Madden

makes me want to jump off a cliff. I can't stand him.

On the baseball side, it's Joe Morgan. Joe can't say anything only once, or even twice. It drives me nuts!
