Okay, so I'm listening to these in reverse order.
ReplyDeleteThe old Sportscenter has a kind of cheesy appeal to it.
MLB on ESPN is marginally worse than MLB on Fox. Neither is very good.
NHL on ESPN... not awful.
NBA on TNT is pretty good. It's no Tesh, but it's (intentionally) close.
College Football on ESPN: Now we're talking! This one reminds me of why I drag myself out of bed on fall mornings. To watch teams that aren't Indiana play in great games. And pray that Pam Ward won't be calling said games.
CBS College Football: This theme song sucks. Reminds me of terrible mid-90s video games. Yarf.
CBS College Basketball: I'm drunk! I'm at Yogis! Is Raftery... YES! It's Raftery! 'nuff said. Top five.
The Masters: "Hello, welcome to your afternoon nap. I'm Jim Nantz..." At this point, I am already deep into dreamland, chasing a turtle down the Pacific jetstream, in midair...
NFL on CBS: Pretty epic. Goes on for too long. Sounds like there should be slow-motion gladiatorial battles going on though, so bonus points for that.
NFL on Fox: Aside from the potential for imminent Joe Buck/Aikman, this one is good.
Sunday Night Football: Douglas MacArthur would enjoy this one. So do I. Old school in a Star Warsy kind of way.
Monday Night Football: Iconic. Top Five. Then it starts swingin'.
John Tesh is hilarious.
Rankings to follow.
So here are my rankings.
