I put a curse on him.

Didn't work

He put an "I love basketball curse" on him. Maybe something about hair loss as well...

Sure it did.

You must not have seen him coach. He was the worst NBA coach I ever saw.

To be honest, he got lucky and won one game in his life that counted which was when U-D beat Marquette on the road in 1977, the year Marquette won the NCAA.

He was an utter failure in the NBA.

I'm sure he makes more money than most NBA coaches with zero pressure and he hasn't been fired in 25 years. Please curse me in this manner.

I would think there isn't many things better in life than making tons of money, while allowed to be an annoying hack, with zero pressure.

In the case of both Dicky V and the gentleman in my avatar.

Next to Bill Walton, Johnny Miller might the worst announcer of all time....

BASEBALL-MORGAN is a biased little Bay Area Elf,but Walton(NBA) is the one I would pay to retire.

I think Miller has toned it down,much to his credit! I love David Feherty! My List Baseball: Jeff Brantley...liked HR too
Pro Basketball: No one..they all suck(TnT doesn't suck)
College BB: Bilas is not bad...other names escape me
College FB: Herbstreit/Dan Fouts...and anyone not named MUSBERGER
Pro Hockey: Yeah...right

Yeah but Miller toning it down doesn't even get him close to the bottom of the list....I remember watching Summerall and Venturi, they were the best.....Curtis Strange was really good too..

College Football is Herbstreit no doubt imo

College Basketball - does it get any better than Dicky V????

Pro Basketball announcers suck because Pro Basketball sucks.....

Pro Hockey - I have no idea.....Dorothy Hamill maybe.....

how about pro baseball dave soup campbell.

pro football hank straim but he is gone now.

Danzig 06-17-2007 10:24 PM

john madden knows his football, that's for sure--but ever since i heard the comedian 'do' madden, and the bit about him eating his sentences before he could finish them...well, i'll never hear madden the same way now. as for theismann, that line about geniuses and norman einstein, that's an all-timer there! that and his 'you have to score to put points on the board' line...whata guy!

i thought the best sports guy was jim mckay. always enjoyed his work.

todays analysts...ehh. dime a dozen. i think aikman could be good, but can't stand joe buck, and wish they didn't put them together in the booth.

No offense,Cardus! I wouldn't know but a few of the hockey personalities anyway...but mostly I'm glad that Mike Emrick is an exceptional person.;) I do like hockey way better than soccer though!

Hey...I get misty when I watch MOI! It is a good sport,but it has been mismanged from the top for so long! It's a sport that has 92% of arena tix sold but the Teams are suffering because the Marketing strategy is bad!
