Dunbar, it was always a shock to someone the first time they heard Myron Cope. He was something else.

Cope was a great writer back before his announcing days

Yes horrible announcing, not even a word for 10 seconds after he just drops a game winner, just terrible!

SLU beat BC today @ home.

But when you have an exciting finish, you have to show some excitment whether it's your team or not.. thats how you get fans to tune in! You see it on national broadcasts so it should be that way for regional and local broadcasts.. Too often these days, local sports announcers are brutal and never get people into the game unless your the fan of that particular team..

Who's the biggest homer in sports annoucing?

I vote for Hawk Harrelson of the White Sox broadcasting team. A guy I have so much contempt for his style that I love when the White Sox lose because he gets so depressed.

The Hawk wants to make me throw something at the TV but my vote is for Rick Jeanneret - the Sabres announcer! Nothing worse then when he screams Stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Barneeeeeeessssssssssssss.. He is the biggest homer I have ever heard call a game!
