I’ve seen so many people bitching about Joe Buck and Chris Colinsworth, but I honestly don’t even notice the announcer during the game. It’s just like “Oh, this helpful person is telling me stuff about the game I’m already watching, but I don’t care who you are.”

What’s the difference between a good and bad announcer?

    I stumbled across the 2010 matchup between the Bills and Ravens on YouTube yesterday and watched the whole thing cause I’m a degenerate. And by god the announcers are horrible.

    I watched that game in 2010 and I don’t remember the announcing being that bad but I also know a lot more about football than I did then. Announcers are supposed to bring a combination of energy and knowledge to the game otherwise there wouldn’t be a point to them being there. Most announcing crews are fine, but the bad ones can really suck the life out of a broadcast. Conversely, the great crews can make games so much better than they actually are.
