In no particular order: Kornheiser, Deirdorf, Baldinger, Joe Buck, Tim McCarver, Skip Bayless, Jay Mariotti, Hawk Harrelson, any chick that is not a sideline reporter, the guy that says, "the yankees win, theeeeee yankees win," Tony Siragusa, Terry Bradshaw, Shannon Sharpe, Joe Morgan, Dick Stockton because he butchers almost everything including saying "Punt-o" and Steve Phillips

i don't dislike a whole lot of them. I don't care for Mariotti and Woody Paige doesn't know a whole lot. He wouldn't recognize Matt Holliday if they were exchanging insurance information. Females shouldn't be mic'd up in anyway at a sporting event.

Some of my favorites: Buck, McCarver, Jimmy Johnson, Stephen A, Philips, Bayless, Waltrip, Brennaman, Corso, Caray, and Barkley.

Michael Wilbon is the biggest idiot on TV, followed closely by Tony Kornheiser. I've hated Joe Buck ever since his reaction to the Randy Moss "mooning". Madden is ok only because he's funny cuz he's so dumb. Don't like John Miller at all or Joe Morgan all that much. Definately hate the White Sox guys. Charles Barkly and Bill Walton are both worthless. And I shudder every time I have to look at Rachel Nichols (gross).

i think the reason that i don't dislike too many, is because the voices in my head are going nuts with commentary during the game. I like Buck, mccarver, miller because they signal a big nationally televised game. their voices give me a semi-chub.

I can't believe this. Tony Kornheiser is the man. He is knowledgeable, funny, straigh-up great announcer. I love him on PTI and think he is pretty good on MNF.

I think the reason you guys don't like him is because of Dennis Miller, he has ruined that spot on MNF. Like him or hate him he makes it more interesting. I can't believe he is getting hated on.

The worst is Stephan A Smith, Bill Walton, Shannon Sharpe (incomprehendable) Joe Morgon (guy rubs me the wrong way-too pro Yankees)


The best is Al Michaels, Dick Bremer, Bob Uecker and Mike Terico
