Musburger still a good broadcaster

You've got to be kidding, right?
Being overly dramatic is what emotionally invested fans want. Jim Nantz, Joe Buck and Al Michaels are all professionals, but sometimes we just want passion.
That reminds me.....is Carlin coming back a done deal?
Is this one of those sarcasm OPs I've been hearing about?
Have watched Musberger since he was a local sports guy in Chicago in the late 60's. He's always been a homer, a front-runner, and an ND shill. He's always been knowledgeable, and he's not bad for being 76, but you always know who he is rooting for.

I think Michaels and Collinsworth is the best team doing games.
I like Jesse Palmer from when he started to do the Thursday night games. He always seemed to do his homework. When we were televised I felt he actually knew something about the team. Burnt Mossbunker is another story. I have always considered him smarmy and insincere. But that is just how he strikes me. I'm sure others like him.
Musberger is, and always has been, horrible. And he probably had the single worst performance ever for an annoucer during that LSU bowl game years ago, where he apparently attained instant orgasms by merely uttering the name, "Honey Badger."
Now OP has me convinced that he knows even less about more things than he previously let on.
There'll never be another Keith Jackson but Vern comes the closest of the one's still working. Musburger is a step below.
I agree Palmer is great as an analyst.

If I had a drink for every time Musberger says "Granddaddy of Them All", i would need a stomach pump and charcoal. ESPN has him calling the Rose Bowl just hear him say that phrase. Brent has never met a cliche he has not overused.
I despise Musberger. How anyone can like him or look forward to hearing his bloviating is beyond me. He and Chris Berman should be forced to listen to each other yap for eternity in hell.
I love him as he does a great job particularly at the Rose Bowl. I think the old school people over 40 who remember him and guys like Keith Jackson appreciate what he brings to the table
This may be one of the better statements, man two broadcasters that I truly loath and you picked them both.
Agree - Collingsworth is the best analyst on the planet. Very close to Madden-like.
Musburger is a great broadcaster. When the sound is off. When it's on, he's fresh-squeezed dung.
Me too. Brock Huard, doing the Sugar Bowl right now, is always prepared and very professional.
At end of broadcast when he was sending you to next game He said we now send it to Bob Wah shah shin in New Orleans. Wah shoe zin He f'd it up so bad I hope my phonetic spelling makes sence.
And Collinsworth doesn't lose sight of the fact that it's football, and not the war in the Middle East.
