I feel like McCarver has to be in here for something.

I don't like him. He often ignores the action in the game for long periods of time to focus on his conversations with Madden, the sideline reporters and shills for the shows on the network.

Best Color: Steve Stone

95% of my knowledge of the game of baseball came from this man. To those who got their first exposure to Stoney this year on ESPN, what do you all think of him?
