I have somehow narrowed Gus Johnson's array of excitement down to the 10 very best.  I hope you enjoy his broadcasting style just as much as I do.  This list contains highlights from the NFL, NCAA basketball and the NBA.

Gus has called many games over various sports, so I'm sure I missed one or two hidden gems.  One thing is for certain though, these 10 clips will get your inner fan out of his or her seat.
