Musberger - Way back when I enjoyed games Musberger called. Then they decided he had to do everything and I burned out on him. Now he generally just does college football and I'm back to enjoy the games he calls. It is what he is best at doing.
Berman - Come on, Oddibe "Young Again" MCDowell - loved it! Like Chris "Shelly" Berman. Problem is ESPN thinks we love all things Berman and we don't. We don't love him on golf, in fact we hate him on golf. We don't love him on hockey or anything other than baseball and Sunday football countdown. I actually can't stand him on anything other than baseball and Sunday football. ESPN is burning us out on him. Keep him off golf, we don't need him year round.
Madden and Vitale are a bit different.
I really, really enjoyed both back when they were color commentators who had a different edge and uniqueness about them. They then became caricatures of themselves. Does Vitale do any game that isn't super scintillating and sensational? Madden really knows football, but unfortunately it got to be more about the turkey leg than football.
Keep Berman where he belongs and off golf, and I'd bet that Caribou "Coffee" Jim will come around on him.
