Fumbling the Mic: Football's 10 Worst TV Commentators

Senior Writer Written on August 19, 2008

(Page 3 of 5)

The little coach who couldn’t is attempting to coach again. Pray for Portland State! His black attire symbolized the mourning that he put Falcon fans through during his years as head fist-fight coach, and also what happened to the TV screen when he masqueraded as a commentator.

Question: Who would you rather have at QB, Brett Favre or Billy Joe Tolliver? If your answer was Billy Joe, please consider taking up broom hockey.

I think he should apply for the head groundskeeper position at Graceland.

7. Dennis Miller: ABC Monday Night Football

Dennis is a good guy, but his use of humorous comparisons was way over the top. I always had the feeling he was loaded and waiting for the right moment to fire his one-liners such as “He dropped that pass like it was a bad habit!”

His “Millerism’s” grew old quickly.

6. Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson: CBS

Their ability to co-ruin a good game is so legendary among SEC fans that I include them here as one horrific pick. Why are they working together? Why is the worst team of announcers assigned to cover the SEC? Why aren’t they covering fish-spearing in the remote areas of the Amazon?

Thank goodness for Larry Munson and radio!
