You all are just wrong about the great Jim Nantz. Some of my favorite UK memories were narrated by him.

His pay should be determined by how much more value he brings than the next guy up. And for me, that number is $0 for Nantz. There is not a single sporting event that I tune into because Nantz is on the call.

Spot on. I actively avoid Nance if possible.

I think he's really good but not worth anywhere near this level money. Play by play caller only makes a difference when they're bad.

The only one that adds value to the broadcast imo is Gus johnson

Mike Tirico and Nantz are two of the best. What is wrong with you people spewing hate? Both of this guys are consummate professionals and truly nice people which there seems to be a shortage of anymore. Nantz should make way more than Romo. He does different sports and is good at all of them. Same with Tirico. Shocked by the venom here. But then again maybe not.

I miss Vern Lungdquist.

It’s going to be sad when the SEC on CBS is no longer.

CBS raped the SEC all these years money wise, but if I was in Birmingham, I would have taken the tad less CBS was offering for the new deal to keep it alive.

I'm tired of Nantz's "Let me insist on putting some stupid slogan at the end of a sporting event" approach to everything he calls.

I've never tuned into any sporting event because of the announcer.

Nantz is OK. Not my favorite. I believe he coined the phrase "Comeback Cats" back in the '98 tourney and had some good calls: "Turner. Burner! And One!!!"

He's best at golf but even there comes across a bit overbearing and verbose at times. The best announcers know when words aren't needed.

Vern: "Yes Sir!"

Mike Minutiae Tirico is the 2nd worst thing to ever happen to golf after “playing through”

Nantz is very good but he’s not as good at play-by-play as Romo is at analysis.

No Neutrality, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I happen to think you are way off on Tirico. There is nothing to dislike about him.

Kevin Harlan is the best sports announcer in the business. Nance shouldn’t make half of what Harlan makes

Where do you get that from? That’s some hefty criticism to just throw around about someone. Would love some context

Cheated on his old wife and is now married to her (26 years younger). I'm not perfect by any means, but I do find that scum behavior. Get divorced first instead of cheating. Just my opinion. I think people that cheat at anything are chumps.
