so i know this is football, but the best announcer in sports might be gus johnson. i was just watching some buckeye basketball clips on youtube and he called Lewis' 3 against X and also sylvester's 3 against ILL. the way he calls those games makes you want to jump out of your seat to this day. he was even getting a little fired up at our game vs BGSU the other day.

And his partner Jimmy Jackson wasn't bad either in the analyst role. It was a pleasant surprise.....

ESPN suspends Griese one game for Montoya remark

ESPN broadcaster Bob Griese has been suspended one week for a remark he made about NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya.

ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz says Griese will not be working a game this week.

During ESPN's broadcast of the Minnesota-Ohio State game Saturday, a graphic was shown listing the top five drivers in NASCAR's points race. Fellow analyst Chris Spielman asked where was Montoya, who is Colombian. Griese replied he was "out having a taco."

When told of Griese's remarks, Montoya said he had never heard of him:lol:

I liked Keith Jackson in the 70s 80s and early 90s, but after that, he really didn't know what was going on during the games. I like Danielson now.

There really isn't any announcer I dislike consistantly, except for Pam Ward. They all have their good games and bad games. I really don't like color commentary that is so obvious like "You have to make those kinds of catches" etc.

The scout board has a thread on which big ten team gets "pammed" the most during the season. Probably the most worthwhile topic on that board imo.

Anyone hear Spielman talking up Youngstown & Massillon football/culture during the Penn State NW game? They were talking of course about Penn State products Daryll Clark from Y-town Ursuline and Brandon Beachum (soph RB) from Y-town Mooney. I don't get to hear him often but it's nice to hear a buckeye who speaks better about Ohio in a Penn State vs. NW game than another buckeye does even if he's doing national color in the shoe. Not afraid of the homer deal, comfortable with who he is and doesn't dress like a guest star in Miami-Vice.

Didja see the commentary in the Bearcat thread about being able to compliment one without needing to trash another?

It's good stuff.

Brad Nessler and Sean McDonough are two great ones. Too bad they're saddled with Todd Blackledge and Matt Millen...

I actually don't mind Blackledge. Despite being a State Penner, I think he's pretty good (to each his own, I guess). But man, Millen is terrible. To think that guy was running a professional sports franchise.
