Nantz has featured NFL games, the Masters, March Madness.

Buck has featured NFL games, featured MLB games including the WS

Al Michaels has done and can do it all. Currently primetime NFL and Olympics coverage.

The big three in national broadcasting. Who do you prefer?

Hmm, how about Bob Costas - MLB, NFL, NBA, Horse Racing...   yeah, he's not my favorite either.

 

Or Ernie Johnson? Or Berman (Ha!)?

 

Of these 3,, I like Michaels.  His interviews on Stern giving him the edge lol.

Bon Costas at halftime ftw!

Seriously though... Al Michaels! He is the best hands down.

I've really come to enjoy Tirico. He's well rounded and generally knows his lane. Also can't get enough Marv Albert... and Hubie Brown on the radio. He's awesome.

A random throwback... I used to absolutely love Mike Patrick calling Terps basketball games on ESPN growing up.

Michaels.  Actively dislike the other two.

Everyone above Costas.

I like Nantz but Michaels is the best imo.

Probably doesn't hurt that he has been on Stern a lot and you see another side to him.

Everyone used to get on Vitale for his Duke love but no one was more on Duke's jock than Patrick. It even disgusted me.

I think he was in love with Redick.

Joe Buck is an empty suit... a cardboard cut out... the lamest of the lame... the blandest of the bland... a shill for the commish...

The problem with Tirico is that he's freaking everywhere.  He does every single one of their major sporting events.  I think he's great at it, I just get tired of hearing him.

 

I like Al Michaels a lot, and I have a soft spot for Costas only because I"m an Olympic nut and he's pretty much the face of the Olympics for America.

 

And, Joe Buck is awful.

Yes. Him and Len Elmore are my favorite tandem. Mike Patrick had the ND/UVA game this past Saturday, it was half the reason I watched that game. (It was also a great game, but when I have no rooting interest ill go with the better broadcast team) .

I'd probably give Michaels the edge over Nantz, but Nantz isn't bad. Joe Buck can jog on.
