Worst Announcers Thread

[ChrisLong]

I may get drilled for saying this.......but oh well.....
Lisa Fernandez on ESPN MLB coverage. My God in Heaven, make it stop. She tries so hard to fit in with Shulman, Kruk, and Olney who have been around MLB for over 70 years combined.
Just absolutely horrid to listen to....
Honorable mention: Curt Menafee. If I heat him say back to "Kennymooseandgoose" one more time, I may throw my cat through the television set.

If you were actually talking about Jessica Mendoza (I know, all those Hispanic softball players look the same) I watched a game a couple of weeks ago and tried to not like her, but it never happened. She seemed comfortable and fit in. She contributed when needed and didn't try to overwhelm us with stuff to prove how much she knows about baseball. But I didn't feel that way during the college baseball and softball World Series, which she also did. She babbled on and on during those.
I didn't watch yesterday, so she might have digressed. Don't know.

I don't know if he counts as an announcer in this capacity, but Joe Tessitore is a dumpster fire on College Football Final. Tries to act cool, but he's the biggest ****ing square in the world.

Add to the list pretty much any analyst on a second-, third- or fourth-tier college football game. Most sound like they've taken too many hits to the head.

I agree. I have always liked Mendoza on softball and I enjoyed her on MLB when I have watched.

Since the Dodgers don't care that most of the region can't watch their games on TV, I listen a lot on the radio. Rick Monday is clueless on play-by-play. Can't tell you how many times he says"check that," to correct a mistake, which is often the wrong score.

Someday take a minute and tune in Jerry Allen on an Oregon football or men's basketball game. A very nice man who is in completely over his head, and has been for nearly 30 years. The number of mistakes he makes that his color guy must correct, and his lack of knowledge on the basic rules, is absolutely staggering.

My mistake on Mendoza.
Point is still the same though.
When Shulman and Kruk were on camera going through some stuff last night, she sat there with this glazed look on her face.
Awkward and painful to watch.
