Play-by-play announcers are people too. As much as we expect them to remain unbiased during games, the emotion of the sports sometimes just takes over their sense of objectivity.

Here are 10 guys that aren't afraid to let it all out.

They are passionate about their sports and they are extremely loyal to their teams. When the moment heats up, they simply turn into fans with microphones.

Their passion is infectious and their enthusiasm is entertaining. Enjoy the videos!
