I'm slightly nervous about opening this thread in the middle of a Patriots game on which Nantz is at the helm - and a game which isn't going very well for the Patriots at halftime at that. But at least everyone's thoughts about Nantz should be fresh by the time you get over here...and someone did request that we do Nantz soon, so his wish is my command.
Anyway, Jim Nantz is very close to having my dream resume, as far as currently active commentators are concerned. I'll suggest that we lump in his college basketball and golf work into a single thread, as I think his style is pretty similar across sports - and that style is definitely distinctive, for better and/or worse. I'll leave it there for the moment...what do you think about Nantz as a commentator? And for those of you who are so inclined, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts regarding how close to (or far from) his peak Nantz is now, a subject on which quite a few people made interesting comments in the Cris Collinsworth thread
