Not the guys out on the field. The guys who sit around and talk about sports. And PLEASE if you can't stand sports, what's the point of even clicking on this thread, let alone posting a sneering "I do not like televised sports!" We get it. You are a superior human being. Just move along. I can't stand Lee Corso. His catch phrase "Not so fast!" is way overused. And the hats and heads he puts on are just…. He is all around annoying. He is stuck in the phony laugh mode, as are half of his supporting cast on that ESPN pre game show. |

Too bad TMP's deliberately annoying structure will not allow me to crosspost to Sports and Broadcast entertainment. Yes, yes. It was a vote. I voted against it then and I'd vote against it again. |

Any sports announcer of Scottish descent who says 'we' when referring to an English sports team. |

Phil Sims always gets me to turn off the sound and turn my radio on. |

For me the worst commentators are mouldering away, no longer listened to, unless someone does an 'X Decades of Sport' retrospective. |

I always hated Stuart Hall for his inane chatter, turned out there was a much better reason for me to hate him just waiting to come to light!! Cheers Roger. |
Texas Jack | 24 Oct 2015 9:16 a.m. PST |
Without a doubt Chris Berman. He was great back in the day, but now he can hardly talk and it makes me sad to hear him. He should have retired ages ago. |

There are so many to choose from how could you ever narrow it down to one? I think that you would have to set up divisions as well, I'm in the US so I have no idea who is lousy in say the UK or Germany (and I assume that the reverse is true). And there are so many now, do we really need five people to talk about a baseball game or six to talk about an NFL game? Vin Scully does Dodgers games all by himself. |
JimDuncanUK | 24 Oct 2015 10:35 a.m. PST |
I've watched Formula One Grand Prix in the States, in Spanish and in Belgium in Dutch and/or German. I eventually turned the sound off. It did not affect my enjoyment of the races. I must try that at home sometime. |
RavenscraftCybernetics | 24 Oct 2015 10:41 a.m. PST |
The two homers who announce the Columbus Blue Jackets, especially Jody Shelley. |

I'll second Cris Collinsworth and Joe Buck. Corporate tools of the first degree. |

When bent mouse burger is on I usually mute the TV and turn on the radio. Otherwise the wife gets irritated with my yelling at the fool. |
jowady | 24 Oct 2015 2:28 p.m. PST |
Yeah Dr.X Jon Gruden is hard to beat. His whole I am a genius and I know everything and everything I say is right is really a pain. Since ESPN is firing people one would wish they would fire him. |
McKinstry | 24 Oct 2015 5:11 p.m. PST |
Musberger. Double creepy when he starts skeeving on a pretty girl in the stands. |
War Panda | 24 Oct 2015 5:50 p.m. PST |
Andy Gray. Especially when he co-commentated with Ian Darke. He was an arrogant bully who constantly slighted everything Ian said. When he partnered the more assertive Marten Tyler he was very well behaved but still IMO was grossly annoying. |

Johathon 'the gob' Davis – rugby pundit…..allegedly…. no original thoughts or comments , biased and Welsh….can not stand the man…….in fact hate him so much that I would not want to inflict him on others so won't post a link…… If he is commentating on a game I turn the sound off…… |
Dave Jackson | 25 Oct 2015 5:08 a.m. PST |
Ray Hudson, BEIN soccer commentator…..Jesus.. |

Echo Brent Musberger. Bad all around. Even worse when he was announcing a game with my team playing. |

Stuart Barnes on Sky Rugby. Bloody hell! |
Old Contemptibles | 26 Oct 2015 2:08 p.m. PST |
Richard John "Dick" Vitale or Dickie V. He drives me nuts. He is suppose the be the analyst in the booth. But he never comments on the current game. All he does talk about biographical information of the players and coaches. He talks about the conferences. He talks about a lot of teams except for the ones currently playing. He never discuses X and Os. Doesn't use the telestrator. Never talks about what the coach needs to do coming out of the time out. He just goes on and on about everything except the game he is suppose to be talking about. |
Oddball | 26 Oct 2015 2:32 p.m. PST |
Chris Collingsworth and Joe Buck also, jackholes. I turn off the sound rather than listen to them. |
Gennorm | 27 Oct 2015 2:26 a.m. PST |
Adrian Chiles. Best reason for avoiding the drivel around the match. |
Old Contemptibles | 28 Oct 2015 7:43 a.m. PST |
Chris Collingsworth and Joe Buck are great. Dick Vitale is the worst. |
