According to a random site I found, here's the ranking of ESPN best announcers:
  1. Bob Ley - 9.0
  2. Suzy Kolber - 8.3
  3. Chris McKendry - 8.2
  4. Kenny Mayne - 8.0
  5. Scott Van Pelt - 8.0
  6. John Buccigross - 7.2
  7. Fred Hickman - 7.1
  8. Rece Davis - 6.9
  9. Trey Wingo - 6.8
  10. Stan Verrett - 6.3
  11. Dana Jacobson - 6.1
  12. Linda Cohn - 6.0
  13. Chris Fowler - 6.0
  14. Mike Greenberg - 6.0
  15. John Anderson - 5.8
  16. Stuart Scott - 5.7
  17. Karl Ravech - 5.5
  18. Chris Berman - 5.5
  19. Mike Ditka - 5.0
  20. Jay Harris - 5.0
  21. Michael Kim - 5.0
  22. Neil Everett - 4.5
  23. Dan Patrick - 4.5
  24. Brian Kenny - 4.0
  25. Steve Levy - 3.7
Things I've Noticed About This List:
-How bad do you have to be as an announcer if you're below Chris Berman!? I love announcers who make up random annoying nicknames. Chris "An Annoying POS Stumbling, Mumbling Poor Excuse For A " Bur-Man. God bless you Ditka.
-I persoanlly love random faux "black phrases" which is a shame that Stuart Scott isn't higher on this list.
-Where's Rachel Nichols! I guess when people watch what you have to say on mute they can't judge how good of a reporter you are.
-Having tits infinitely makes you higher on this list. See: Suzy Colbert, See: Chris McKendry, See: Bob Ley
-I hope Sal Palantonio is purposefully so bad that he didn't make the top 25. It's not that I don't like his reporting, it's just if ESPN jumps to one of his field reports, it means he's covering the top jerk off football story of the moment. "What's something football related that we at ESPN can beat to death and talk about every five minutes?" *Response* "Great! send Sal there!" I don't know if that was funny or not, but I just personally end up hating the content Sal Palantonio spews.
-Is anyone else confused when Neil Everett and Stan Verrett host SportCenter at the same time? I always get confused because there last names are spelled so similiarly. They also look so much alike, oh wait...
