Your best NFL TV/Radio Broadcast Duo

Jalapeno : 10/14/2020 11:23 pm
If you could choose who you had to listen to on a Giants game broadcast who would you choose?

Beside the GOAT team of Madden/Summerall (IMO) I would probably go with Kevin Harlan and Tony Romo.



Best NFL play call ever. - ( New Window )
Good memories

best all time Marty Glickman and Al Derogatis

Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan

used to be a good, no-frills duo who had a strong focus on what was taking place on the field. I liked them a lot.
Dick Stockton and Dsn Dierdorf

or Don Criqui (sp) and Merlin Olsen.
Agreed as well  
Spider43 : 10/15/2020 7:08 am : link
All time, it's Madden and Summerall. Right now, I'd go with Harlan and Schlomo. Tony can tell you the play before it happens. You learn a bunch listening to him.
Summerall and Madden.

Today - Michaels and Collinsworth
My vote goes to  
GiantEgo : 10/15/2020 7:16 am : link
Mute Button
Simms and Nantz.  
johnnyb : 10/15/2020 7:44 am : link
I always enjoyed Phil’s perspective.
Chris Fowler & Kirk Herbstreit  
BigBlue2112 : 10/15/2020 8:35 am : link
I think they're the best in the biz no matter NCAA or NFL games
Madden and Summerall the best  
Chris684 : 10/15/2020 8:42 am : link
Al Michaels, Frank Gifford and Dan Dierdorff
Dick Enberg and Dan Dierdorff (I guess I'm a Dierdorff fan)
Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts
Greg Gumbel and Phil Simms
Jim Nantz and Tony Romo
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman
Gus Johnson  
RomanWH : 10/15/2020 8:44 am : link
by himself. He's outstanding and can make a 3 yard run on first down sound like the game-winning TD catch in the SB.

Marty Glickman was tremendous...I agree.

Currently
Nantz and Romo
Lindsay Nelson...  
BamaBlue : 10/15/2020 8:56 am : link
and Keith Jackson were the two best football (college) announcers ever. Nelson did NFL games until about 1981, but his college work was by far, his best.

For the NFL, I have to go with Dick Enberg and Howard Cosell. This is all about personal preference. I loved Madden/Summerall, but they broadcast 5 years too long. There is a huge delta between them in their prime and what football fans got in their final years.

Honorable mention to Dandy Don Meredith and Jim Nantz. The best up and coming NFL guy has to be Tony Romo. Also looking forward to seeing what Greg Olsen can do. He was very good in a couple of announcing gigs, but he decided to return to play for the Seahawks. He has a bright future in the booth...
Giants radio team...  
trueblueinpw : 10/15/2020 9:03 am : link
I love Papa and Banks and Howard Cross driven by the Hess toy truck and brought to me by Peerless boilers.

Growing up, Dick Lynch and Dave Jennings with Papa were so great! Dick Lynch was such a fan and always told you exactly what was on his mind. Nobody knew more about the rules of the game than Jennings. That was my all time favorite radio crew.

I also like Kevin Harlin on radio with Kurt Warner. Thought they were really good together.

TV? Today? I like Aikman and while I don’t love Buck, I think he and Troy are a good crew and always seem like the “big game” crew.
Pat Summerall and Tommy Brookshire

I know it's subjective and all  
jhibb : 10/15/2020 12:38 pm : link
but I don't get how people can stand listening to Collinsworth, let alone actually like it. Al Michaels is pretty good IMHO, but I never hear him because Collinsworth is an instant mute situation.

echo the sentiment of Kevin Harlan and Kurt Warner on radio. They did Monday night's game of Saints/Chargers. Terrific together, and Harlan is the best in the business as far as I'm concerned.

^ Seconded.

I’ll add
Michaels and Madden
Gruden and Tirico

Currently I like Michaels and Collinsworth best, followed by Nantz and Romo. Can’t stand Joe Buck at all, and Aikman grates on my nerves.
Marv Albert and Paul McGuire were great  
terptacular : 10/15/2020 7:30 pm : link
Marv would make fun of Paul for 3 hours every Sunday. Hilarious.

Was the best announcer. He did primarily Packers games but eventually was paired with Pat Summerall as the marquee national team. What made him great was use of a minimum number of words to describe the action. He never added a bunch of non football crap.

Another favorite would be Chris Schenkel who was an early announcer of Giants games.
