best color man is hubie brown!!!! he provides excellent insight, especially compared to all the other brain dead color guys on tv for the nba right now.

I like Hubie a lot. I also enjoy ripping of the Sports Guy's schtick of talking like him in real life.

Is this best or worst? I know at least one poster who would vote the latter.

I don't know if I'm the poster you are referring too, but I certainly would put him closer to the worst than the best.

I do wish I could have heard him 20 years ago, though.

Niehaus is the best, of course.

I think his call of the Game 6 in the 1986 World Series is the best I've ever heard: "Here's a little roller behind the bag, it gets through Buckner. Here comes Knight and the Mets win it."

Best is easily Buffalo Sabres PBP Rick Jeanerette.

I love Berman! I cannot stand Joe Morgan or Stu Scott.

For NFL Primetime, he's great. For anything else, oh god...

Best NBA Play by Play is Kevin Collabro. He is the guy in the Seattle and he rules. He loves the team and gets fk'ing genuinely excited frequently.

Best PBP: I really like Jon Miller for baseball. Albert and Calabro for Basketball, and Keith Jackson for football (full disclosure: my grandfather gave Keith Jackson his first job at WSU and I'm honor bound to answer this question this way).

Worst PBP: Joe Buck bugs me for his stupid moralizing. Berman on PBP annoys me just as much as Berman in studio, which I will address later.

Best Color: I actually really like Tom Tolbert and the Snapper/Walton booth. Jim Walden, who does color for Washington State Football is amazingly fun to listen to if you enjoy a homer who screams at the refs (which I do, he cares as much as I do and it's great). Dan Fouts cracks me up.

Worst Color: Morgan, a guy who is too dense to realize what made him good. Doug Collins. McCarver (I basically avoided the world series because of him).

Best Studio: Fowler is very good at what he does. As is Ernie Johnson and the rest of the TNT crew. I really enjoy Tolbert in the studio as well.

Worst Studio: I have no time for Bob Costas and his misinformed loved for all things old. Chris Berman hasn't updated anything about his schtick in 15 years and I've just grown amazingly tired of him. He's also way to into moralizing and other nonsense.
