Joe Buck. He's funny, tells the story of the game without a bunch of extra fluff, knows when to shut up and let you listen to the sounds of the game, extremely knowledgeable, willing to make fun of himself - witness the commercials he's been in, stays in touch with the monitor so he can speak to what the viewer is seeing, adds to the game, doesn't try to take over the game.

He's probably my least favorite announcer, or randy cross.....but my favorite has to be...all that is man....JOHN MADDEN.

Sorry Schwabby, Madden used to be my favorite, but I honestly think he is getting too old. He misses action, doesn't see things, and have you watched him talk about replays of controversial calls? I swear that he isn't watching the same replay I am watching.

Madden was great when he talked about the offensive lineman and the other unsung guys who did the dirty work. He evolved into just talking about the prima donna's in the league. He completely got away from why people liked him in the first place.

I've like Brent Musberger since the days he used to do the NFL Today. It always has a "big game" feel when he's announcing.
