I meant Bill Maas is the worst, but it truly is a toss up.

WOW...I personally like Thiesman, I really think he knows what he is talking about.

Has anyone noticed how much makeup Madden wears for the games he covers? It is ridiculous.

Okay, okay, I'll give Madden his props. Sure he's not the best announcer, doesn't have the best voice and isn't the most photogenic individual out there, but he knows football. Period. When it comes to the game, Madden knows what he's talking about. When he provides commentary on a game, you can pretty much bank on it.

In terms of video games, it was Madden's sheer demand that the game play like real football that he forced EA to return to the drawing board again and again and again until it met his specifications. Only then did it get the Madden name. So, in an odd sort of way, by sticking to his guns and demanding a high level of quality from Electronic Arts (as opposed to sitting on his arse and raking in whatever royalties he got from EA), he has crafted the standard we see in football video games today. For this reason alone, Madden gets props from me.

I'll probably get a lot of heat for this, but I really liked Dennis Miller when he was doing MNF. I thought he was an excellent commentator. As Miller would say in his "Rants" books: That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

i hear what your saying, but he announces like hes never even seen a football.

Yeah he babbles like no other and that's what TV wants(no silence).
I have to say though I like his "chaulkboard replays" and his does know the game instead of being a "following announcer" His nonsensial babbling get old real fast. I won't change the channel because of him though.
My favorite announcer is Al Michaels.

The worst ever without a doubt HOWARD COSELL
