Best/Worst Sports Commentators/Summarisers

[Big_G]

Jim Nantz all day long for me, on so many sports too.

Great to hear him with Tony Romo on the Superbowl, shout out too for the legend John Madden a real presence in the commentary box

Must be tough for Jim Nantz, all the great people he has worked with, then they pair him with Nick Faldo for the golf

Faldo just has to be the worst, loved him as a golfer but he just endlessly tries to be funny, and it's so obvious how hard he's trying it's painful

It is a little sad that people associate Madden now with the NFL game rather than his work as a commentator and before that as head coach of the Raiders in the 1970s. One of my ongoing regrets is not having met him over the years.

Similar thought about George Foreman. Mrs Shark has had one of his grills for years and asked me if I knew once he had been a boxer?

John Madden NFL got me into the sport in the 1st place ;-)

If you miss him I can recommend watching Frank Caliendo on YouTube

Oh, is that why those games are called Madden?? I always wondered that.

A former coach, Jerry Glanville, was once miked up for a game and got into it with an official in which he told him "NFL - stands for Not for long for you making calls like that".

Golf - Rob Lee. He's not too bad on Sky TV but on the podcast he's woeful.

Football - Danny Murphy, Ian Wright and Alex Scott. Ian Wright is pure cringe. Listen to him and he uses the phrase 'in respect of' to hide the fact he's clueless. He said it at least a dozen times on a BBC podcast last week Alex Scott......absolutely awful.
