Best announcer in Football... Correction... in Sports period.

Shop 49ers game tickets


Gus Johnson is that DUDE. I've loved this guy as an announcer for like 3 years straight. He gets some of the crappier games (usually raiders games where I've heard him) but the guy always gets me excited as f**k listening to any game. Even this one which was boring as s**t until the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter.

Props to Gus Johnson!! WOOT

This guy is the ISH when it comes to the Knicks games.

One famous Gus line occurs after Knicks forward Al Harrington scores: "My name is Al Harrington... And I get Buckets!

I remember watching this and cracking up at the announcer. I was all into it because of him though. I didn't realize it was the same guy. Yeah, he's awesome.

This guy is the king of March Madness too. He needs to be on television more than Joe Buck and Marv Albert

Hell yes he does. I had no idea that this was all the same guy. This dude could get me excited about watching a freaking dog show.

Wait a minute I love Gus too, but come on, Buck and especially Albert are freaking institutions. I mean how about him and Snapper Jones replace Breen, The Dumb Van Gundy Brother, and Mark "I'm Kobe's Boyfriend" Jackson, to do the main NBA coverage, that makes sense, but come on Albert and Buck are great, and Albert is the best NBA announcer in the world.

Joe Buck sucks balls.

Jeff Van Gundy is terrific.

And I like Marv Albert, but Gus Johnson is better.

I can't stand Buck, he is so boring, Albert has a good voice, but gets stale, Van Gundy is f**king awesome, I can watch any basketball game, he always makes me laugh a couple of times a night, and Mark Jackson knows his s**t.
Glad to see Gus getting some love. He has been doomed to D-List Jacksonville Jaguars games throughout most of his run at CBS, but he is the future of the network's top-tier announce teams.

Buck is solid, what you don't like the guy, cuz he doesn't scream as often as Johnson, or doesn't have a catch phrase like Marv, I mean he's knowledgeable, and keeps you entertained, and as much as I can't stand Troy Aikman for a number of reasons, he's still a good color guy, and goes great with Joe. Yeah probably the best NFL announcer combo or trio is on NBC, but to be fair all the lead dudes for the networks that do NFL games are solid.

Wow Van Gundy is a complete idiot, I mean how do you say things like Pau Gasol should of been All-NBA second team and still have that job, jeez, and the one thing Jeff had going for him is gone. He was always the the first NBA coach in line to stand up to the BS of David Stern and the officials, now what since he's a company man he doesn't say anything shoot, Walton as goofy as he is a good color guy and always gets on the world's worst pro refs.

Al Michaels is my favorite.

I like them both, but Gus has the edge I think, I've been saying this to my friends for 2 years now, how can you not get into a game that he's calling, he makes exciting to watch on TV, if only more announcers were like him.
