Favorite ESPN analyst

[cyclones500]

Inspired by enisthemenace's thread.

Probably a lot more difficult to answer this one. :yes:

 

[ty4cy90]

I don't know why everyone hates the announcers so much. On that note, I know he doesn't work for ESPN.... But Gus Johnson is a MAN among boys! Xavier vs. Kansas State anyone?

 

[CrossCyed]

I like Gottlieb more and more by the day, actually.

 

[RING4CY]

My favorite analyst? Erin Andrews. :yes:

 

[AlleyAddict]

Rick Reilly, nobody even comes close.

 

[Acylum]

Never thought I'd say this but I really like Jalen Rose. His sports knowledge goes beyond basketball and he's not the average loud, over-the-top ESPN analyst. He spoke very eloquently of Ernie Harwell the morning after his death.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Jay Bilas

 

[cyclonenum1]

They have so damned many it's hard to recall all of them but I do like both Gottlieb and Bilas.

 

[AlumfromAmes]

Probably Dukeboy - Jay Bilas. But, Fran Fraschilla always seems to have love for ISU.

My favorite analyst? Erin Andrews. :yes:

Difference between sideline reporting and analyzing - I've never seen Erin Andrews analyze (although if you said "personality" she'd be right up there).

Personally I like Suzy Kolber and Doug Gottlieb

 

[CRcyclone6]

I like the guys that do the NFL Live and I think the other NFL show. Wingo, Schlereth, Hodge, Jaws, Palantonio

I agree with you 100%. I never expected it, but he is my favorite analyst on ESPN, and I don't even care for the NBA.

Jay Bilas

Hell yeah! The guy knows his stuff.

I also like Gruden. His coaching perspective is nice. However, he yells a little too much.

College Basketball - Bilas, because I can never get enough talk about "ridiculous length and wingspan"

College Football - Most are pretty good.

NBA - Not so good. The only good ones work for TNT.

NFL - Just glad Emmitt Smith doesn't work there anymore, but I do like Jaws and Tom Jackson. Keyshawn I think has a really high ceiling and I like him, but his ego rubs me the wrong way sometimes.

Hockey - Is there anyone better than Melrose?

Baseball - They're all pretty good, except Winfield and of course the Sunday night duo of death, Jon Miller & Joe Morgan.

Desmond Howard but I'm biased
