I don't even consider Olbermann a sportscaster. He's just filling some diversity slot, like those chicks on the sidelines during football game. For me, Joe Morgan is the worst. Just a mumbling boor.
On the great sportscasting front, I couldn't be happier than I am with the New York Mets booth. I watch just about every game, and Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling are awesome. They are insightful funny and completely non-annoying everygame. Gary Cohen is the other guy in the booth, and he's low-key and informative too.
I like the Reds tandem of Thom Brennamen and Jeff “Cowboy” Brantley.
Thom’s dad, Marty is a crusty old coot now and whines too much. Thom is the utmost in professional.
Cowboy is honest and knowledgable. Much more interesting to hear than Chris Welch if you ask me.
George Grande is the absolute worse. Nothing worse than a Poo-holes loving Cards fan doing your Reds broadcasts.
Back in the 80s Olbermann was the sports guy on KTLA-TV in Los Angeles. He was smarmy and annoying.
The Mets do have a good broadcast team this year, from what I’ve seen. I bumped into Keith a few times when I lived in New York (during his playing days). Nice guy. We drank some beers and smoked a few cigarettes together in some East Side joint.
