@ people who think Aikman's a good announcer. He's a cliche machine with horrible grammar. What am I missing?

just don't have much respect for guys who spend more time on their hair than i do...and the holding the sharpie thing..and the day they called the usc/penn state rose bowl---well, i don't see how kirk said a word, he seemed to have pete carrolls junk in his mouth the whole game. i'm like ateam, in that i don't know most announcers' names-they're the ones who get we are tuning in to watch the game, not listen to them; that it's not about them.

i guess i like Ron Franklin and Mike Patrick the best. i did like when Mike Gottfried worked with either Patrick or Franklin. Blackledge is just ok.

patrick is good. i think trent dilfer might be a good one, if someone gave him a shot. that guy knows his football. another guy i can't handle-chris collinsworth. he just drives me insane for some reason.

I think he describes very interesting points
about plays that are being run and why. Very good
at explaining offensive planning.

Who do you think is better... presently?

Moose Johnston, Steve Tasker, Dan Dierdorf, um.. I can't remember announcers at all. I don't usually notice them unless they suck, and I think Aikman sucks.

Two of those you mentioned suck.
I notice them.

Dierdorf is absolutely awful imho.
Johnston is constantly referring the Moooooose call.
Every damn game.

Tasker... dont remember so I guess that makes him good.
