Jiji Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 It really does seem like commentating is a lost art these days. Commentators like Enberg and Scully felt like they were a distant relative rather than a corporate shill, which most modern announcers strike me as. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidNatural Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Enberg was so great. So versatile. Legitimately in the argument for the best in football, basketball and tennis. Al Michaels may be the last great announcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there is an issue with sports commentating that needs to be fixed, but I don't see it changing any time soon. The issue is, we will watch sports despite the commentary. We will celebrate good commentary when we hear it, but we aren't about to change the channel. A lot of people hate Joe Buck, which I don't really understand, but he's been the head announcer of Fox forever. I want either someone really knowledgeable or someone who feels like they are as big of a fan as I am. I don't think we have more than 3 of either in all of sports. My least favorite thing is when someone clearly sees something wrong, but refuse to criticize it. Jeff Van Gundy will never say anything negative about a coach even if the coach is clearly wrong. You can criticize a decision without criticizing the person, he chooses to do neither. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
