Worst TV Announcers

I watch mostly college sports so this list will reflect that. This counts for TV announcers who regularly call games and does not include those who work primarily in Studio.

5 worst College announcers

1. Pam Ward. I'm convinced ESPN won't fire her because she is female. Although if you never saw her face, you couldn't be certain. She frequently makes mistakes such as this.
They've gotta spike the ball here!" - Pam Ward on a 4th down play HT: awfulannouncing.com
This call came when Wisconsin completed a pass in the middle of the field short of the sticks and had to rush their field goal unit onto the field with time running out in the game. Vintage Pam Ward right here. She doesn't know the situation.

She frequently displays emotion at the wrong times and fails to ever deliver a memorable call. Ward is usually in charge of the Noon ESPN2 game and you should avoid it, unless your team is playing.

“Great tackle, er, broken tackle by Charles. Gordon finally gets him in the backfield. Gain of 5 for Charles.” HT awfulannouncing.com

2. Gary Danielson- He makes mistakes often enough that I could rip him for, but I just loathe him. He is an arrogant SOB that apparently knows more than the coaches. He is puppet for CBS and the SEC and is no longer the least bit objective when it comes to evaluating other conferences. This guy also declared that Spread Offenses in football were dead last year despite 8 of the 10 top offenses in college football running a version of the Spread.
"No more playing it safe! You got to go for it here" - Gary Danielson before a 3rd and 11
Thanks Gary I'll do that.
"This is easy. They go to Hester here." - Danielson
"They would, but Hester is out west these days." - Lundquist
"Well, last year, they would have." - Danielson

3. Andre Ware- You'd swear he never played football if you did not know better. He's clearly not cut out for the job. Last year he was paired with Pam Ward creating the most neferioius broadcast team of all time. This year he is trying to destroy other football games.
"You know, if I were Maryland on first down...I would just take a shot. Because its either gonna be a passing interference, completion, or incompletion. No harm done." Andre Ware


4.Brent Musburger - Well I used to like him when I was younger. He's up doing games way past his bed time now. He doesn't seem as interested in the games anymore and he has little knowledge of the teams playing. He openly panders to team with the biggest viewing audience
"Final snap of the opening quarter it looks like, or I should correct myself, I was looking at the wrong clock." - Brent Musburger
"Look at those rear ends!"- Brent Musburger
Time to put down Old Yeller. Brad Nessler should be working Primetime.

5. Thom Brennaman- Anyone remember the overly exuberant Tim Tebow lovefest from last years title game. Well here is the major culprit. Most of you are only see him for the BCS games on Fox but I am subjected to him and his lisp on the Big Ten Network occasionally.

Thanks to awful annoucncing for the quotes.
