He sez you got to play man to beat the

Badgers. Let's track that, I think he is correct.

The TNT NBA crew are about as good as sports commentators go IMO. Charles knows basketball, and it's even insightful to hear them on the college game as compared to the NBA. The first year he called he'd be like "I had no idea these kids today can't shoot like this. That's the reason the zone is effective. People laugh you out of the gym if you try to run a zone in a NBA game."

Ernie, Kenny, and Charles are the best show on TV.

Even Shaq and Webber seem capable of not being idiots on TV next to those three. Strangely enough, the worst studio guy that appears regularly is Magic. Turrible.

Speaking of making terrible people bearable...

Kevin Harlan is a saint for agreeing to work with Miller and Elmore.

I love Shaq doing halftimes. Not even being sarcastic. Some of these guys try to fool watchers to make them seem like they know what they're talking about by getting technical, but they actually talk basketball. Every network could learn a thing or two in football broadcasting. Either sensationalism (GABE JACKSON IS AMAZEBALLS!!!!!!! I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY, BUT JUST TRUST ME!!!!!) or too technical for me to enjoy with less knowledgable friends.

I know Gruden is one of the worst offenders with his terminology, but he actually does a good job of dumbing down MNF sometimes. Sometimes. Still more than anyone else.

Elmore and Miller are painful to listen to.

I love the Reggie Miller and Harlan duo. I'll forever remember those two calling the Dunk City FGCU win over Georgetown. One of the most entertaining upsets I've ever watched. Elmore I never even notice is talking.

The thing that gets me the most about Magic is that he throws in some kind of cliche phrase or concept just about every time he opens his mouth.
