THE KING
loc_inve
either howard cosell or john madden
Da5thPOWER
Madden.....he lived it, loves it, n likes to give out 6 legged turkeys
gluvnast
yea madden is a legend...but cosell is the GURU

he flipped the script on sports announcing
B-Time
I can't vote Madden because I've played way too much Madden (the game) over the last ten years. You can only take so many "boom's" and "he should have picked that one off." No shit he should have John, it hit him right in the hand, so why didn't he? It's your game, so make him pick it motherfucker!

Cossell was a true innovator in the boothe, but despite all the greatness his slow drawl wasnt fit to be a play-by-play announcer...No one can call a game like Marv Albert. I miss the days of NBA on NBC with him calling the big games. Keith Jackson is Mr College Football...


This is not an accurate question. Cossell was an "analysis", not a play-by-play announcer. Keith Jackson is a play-by-play announcer, so is Marv Albert. There is a difference.
