Who's the Worst Sports Announcer?

Posted: 2007-11-29 12:27:41

Have you had it with bad sports announcing? Are you still miffed that the "expert" calling your team's game mispronounced a name and botched the score while making a bad pun? We feel your pain. And we're here to help. Using four brackets selected by AwfulAnnouncing.com, we've put together a fan-voting tournament that will determine the worst sports announcer in the biz. Read AwfulAnnouncing's breakdown, then vote for the worst announcer in each matchup.

SEMIFINAL ONE: PAM WARD vs. TONY KORNHEISER
AwfulAnnouncing.com Says: "The semis start out with a huge matchup, as Ward, a No. 1 seed, takes on Kornheiser, a No. 2 seed, with a trip to the finals on the line. I really didn't think our friend Pam was going to make it through one of the toughest brackets, but she easily dispatched of better foes along the way. Does she have enough to tackle Tony? My guess is Kornheiser pulls the small upset and slides into the Finals."

SEMIFINAL TWO: STEPHEN A. SMITH vs. SAL MASEKELA
AwfulAnnouncing.com Says: "If we're talking basketball, Sal Masekela is the George Mason/Cinderella story of the tournament. But just like George Mason in the 2005 NCAA Tournament, I think S.A.S. will play the role of Florida and handle Masekela easily, setting up a battle against Kornheiser in the finals."

My vote for the worst announcers are.... The team of Gumble-Sanders-Faulk ! I can't stand the arrogance and ego... It's too close to the holiday's for the jive-turkey's, maybe great football players as of late but they need to go back to school and learn humility, to pronunciate and enunciate! It's obvious the were given grades since junior high...at least Kornheiser can spell. Gumble does a good job but he constantly has to pick up for the other two announcers inabilities. Even Aikman though boring still does a much better job than the two MVP idiots!

Send Tony K. back to the radio...PLEASE !!!! Perhaps he sees his role as
just trying to be an annoying jerk. He has to be removed from TV. RB.

OMG - Bill walton has to be the WORST basketball announcer that ever palyed the game or tried to talk about it. As much as I love to watch the game, if he's announcing the game - I switch the channel.

Is it Joe? Buck? Definitely the most annoying sports announcer ever... He seldem talks about the game he's doing, but brings a catch that was made in 1977 or a team accomplishment in 1947. ANNOYING.. Should be put out to pasture.
