Much more at the links. I think the analysis of Troy Aikman deserves greater respect from the fans.
Joe Buck ... well, I'm sure he makes big money, but his World Series work pales in comparison to our local San Francisco radio/TV guys.

I agree with one thing here 100%: "Most unlikeable sports personality: Skip Bayless". YES!

(9,709 posts)I find Michaels, Collinsworth, and Buck particularly annoying. I agree Aikman is surprisingly good once I look beyond his past affiliations..
In college, the announcer who yells all the time about everything, Gus Johnson, is the absolute worst. My favorite team there would be Lundquist and Danielson by a nose over Musburger and Herbstreit .
