I realize reading thru this that I cannot separate who I like from who is good.
For example. I guess Collinsworth, Buck, and Fouts are good but I have always disliked these guys, as men. I have disliked Collinsworth since I was very young watching him on HBO Inside the NFL, Buck is also just a clown I’ve long wanted to slap and the peak of this was his crying about Randy Moss.
I guess Simms isn’t good but I never minded him. Seems like a cool guy.
I like Romo and I think he is good.
Nantz is fine and honestly how much JohMD hates him has made me laugh every game or golf broadcast I hear him do.
Think Riddick is not good but good compared to the other guys he is in the booth with who are really bad yet miles better than Tess, Witten Booger.
Love Aikman, don’t know how insightful he is but I like him. Similar vibe to Simms. Greg Gumbel was enjoyable too.
Michaels is the best, has it all, the voice, cadence, wit, timing...just a master of his craft.
Madden knew he was doing a TV show and wanted to teach not to show how smart he was but to share the game. Loved his work.
I only remember Summerall as having lost it. Good voice but don’t remember his prime
Don’t remember Howard but like the old stuff I have seen.
Really hated Randy Cross, just another one of those guys I’m like oil and water with.
