    I hate Chris Collinsworth, I rarely watch the Sunday night game b/c his voice.

    agree not a huge fan of those two.

    as for commentators Brian Billick did the Eagles game last week and was awful. i think he messed up at least 5 names.

    Simms is good. Darryl Johnston is pretty good as well. Aikmen and Jaworski are great.

    Joe Buck is horrible, but does try to be funny. Simms just sucks. The know it all thinks his shit doesn't stink. I remember a time Stockton was ok, but I think he's senile now.

    I'm a Rams fan, so I get Ron Pitts and John Lynch 14 times a year. Tirico tonight though!!

    Simms just sounds like a complete moron half the time.

    Stockton is definitely losing it...always mispronouncing names, calling players the wrong name, etc..

    Gus Johnson should be the lead play by play guy on Fox.

    Joe Buck, the fact that he does Football and Baseball, is sad.

    I forgot that he's not on CBS anymore. Is he doing any NFL games at all this year? I thought I remember hearing something about him doing a few games for FOX...

    He did the Syracuse-USC game on FX Saturday, so it would make sense if he did some Fox games this year.

    Hopefully. It's not going to be the same with Gus Johnson not calling NFL on CBS and the NCAA tourney...

    Trent Dilfer. I never thought it was possible for a human being to be wrong about everything. If he didn't try to predict what every single play was going to be and say it in such a matter-of-fact way, like he knows everything about football, then he wouldn't have to spend half the broadcast explaining why the teams didn't do what he claimed they were going to do. He doesn't comment on the action, so much as he always tries to predict it. I know all commentators do it to some extent, but he does it constantly, which leads to constant backtracking.

    Even though I hated his guts as a player, Troy Aikman is probably my favorite. As far as color commentators go, he isn't that colorful, but he knows his shit and sticks to the facts. He says something when he has something to say, not just to hear is own voice like so many of them. And I find him pretty funny at times.

    Surprised to see 3 people already say they dislike Buck. I actually switched games yesterday because I didn't like the announcers in the game I was watching, so I went to the Saints/Bears game just because Buck and Aikman were commentating. I like the Sunday night guys too; SNL do a funny parody of them.

    He's the, like, 6th play-by-play guy for Fox. Coming soon to the next Seahawks-Cardinals game near you. :roll:
