Lou Holtz is on college gameday and he spits all over your TV all day while blathering on about how much ND kicks ass and Jimmy Clausen is jesus while they go on to a 2-10 record

I'd have to vote for Madden. Vitale really gets on my nerves, but Lou Holtz makes me want to attack him with a hammer.

For me, Dicky V is the least annoying of that group. I'm pretty sure Madden is the antichrist so he's at the bottom of the list. The other two are a toss-up and Vitale is usually on screen for less time than Holtz so he gets my vote due to less exposure.

Madden because he is the easiest to ignore. Vitale and Holtz need to be cleansed from this Earth with fire.

In order of most-to-least annoying, the list goes:

1) John Madden
2) Joe Buck
3) Anyone with the last name "Gumbel"
4) Dick Vitale
5) Howard Cosell (only this far down cuz he's dead)
6) Marv Albert
7) Everyone else.

Also, Lou Holtz is fucking awesome. He's got that slight old-guy lisp, but don't tell me you don't get a charge when he's doing his Friday night pep talk or whatever. That guy is fucking awesome. And he KNOWS his shit, the camera is the perfect place for him.

Madden is the least by far. I used to hate Madden but I take him in stride now, finding him comical. Vitale is terrible, like listening to a cheesy used car commercial the whole game. Holtz pisses me off b/c of his lisp, whether he knows his shit or not. People like him and Shannon Sharpe who can't fucking speak properly should not be hired as people who get paid to speak period.

Dick Vitale is okay, I talked to him irl and he seemed like a nice guy. On the other hand, the fact he finishes every sentance with "BABYYYY" makes me want to hurl.

Everyone seems to justify the shit they have to listen to. 1970's people seem to think Howard Cosell was the bomb, even though his voice was roughly 9001 times more annoying than Vitale's. Meanwhile, John Madden seems to be approaching a level of George-W-Bush-type retardation. Like, you could hear on the news that John Madden raided the catering truck looking for WMD's, and you'd believe it without even blinking.

Joe Buck is the MOST annoying though, cuz he's so goddamn bland: "Wow. They did it. The Red Sox win. What a truly great day. Stay tuned for the local news."

I hate Madden. I think Alzheimer's is kicking in or something because the man is incapable of saying anything a retarded 4 year old couldn't pick up, despite the fact that he's won the super bowl and coached for 10 years in the NFL.

>"Now here's a guy who knows that if his team scores more points than the other guys, they're going to win ballgames!"

Gee, ya think?!

He doesn't know his shit. All he talks about is Notre Dame this and Notre Dame that. Fuck Notre Dame.

Not true. He coached at a lot of schools, and tho he has a fair share of Notre Dame anecdotes, there was a "pep-talk" he gave this past season to NAVY, telling them how they could beat Notre Dame after 40 years of losses.

He works for ESPN now, and respects the job by not playing favorites. I respect the shit out of that.

Back in the day Keith Jackson and Frank Broyles on ABC were the announcing tandem that dreams are made of.

It was ok when Ara Parseghian did color except he sounded like Winnie the Pooh.

I think the least annoying is John Madden, simply because I lvoe listening to the shit he talks about, it cracks me up. The same goes with Lou Holtz, the way he gets going with his lisp makes me cry laughing everytime. Dick Vitale is only funny for the first couple or so minutes and then it's just like alright shut the fuck up
