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?
Honest answer….a lot of times the gripes are the announcer doing the same thing. The same trope over and over again.
Collinsworth stands out as the worst at it these days. It just wore out a long time ago. Romo might be the best instance of something that worked so well when he (recently) started announcing, but has gone completely the other way.
People get sick of hearing the same damn thing. If you don’t really notice the announcers during the game then that’s a skill that I’m sure many of us wish we could cultivate. Feel blessed.
