5 Worst Sporstcasters on TV

Guys love to watch sports. It’s the best thing on television and it provides all the necessary drama for our lives. But if there’s one thing that can ruin a game or ESPN top ten plays, it’s the sportscasters. While some provide us with everything we need to know to bro out and talk about sports, others leave us pissed off and filled with useless phrases. Some can even make you change channels from a game or SportsCenter to any one of these horrible shows. So, if you are watching a game or anything related to sports, and you see any of these five, you might as well give up and change the channel.

Stephen A. Smith

If guys wanted to hear someone screaming and complaining, they would watch E! or something equally ridiculous. How did this guy even get on air? Instead of telling anything important regarding sports, he simply rants and raves about stories that he can insert himself into. The sports world would be a better place if he were to magically fall of the face of it. “Quite Frankly” is by far the worst show on ESPN, and he is easily the worst person to watch on TV.

Dick Vitale

Who knew March Madness could be ruined by an old, balding guy? I personally didn’t think it was possible. But watching more than one game a week with this guy as the color commentator may be the worst thing in sports. But it gets worse. He and Dick Enberg created possibly the worst college basketball experience known to bro-kind. There is a simple remedy though, and it involves drinking. Every time he says “baby” (or in this case “take the charge”) drink… and pretty soon you won’t be able to hear his voice.

Jeff Van Gundy

Not only is he one of the most awkward looking people on TV, but this guy honestly provides no useful conversation during a game. He simply talks and reminds everyone of how good of a coach he used to be. Unfortunately for television viewers, he was such a bad coach that we are forced to listen to him reminisce. Not to mention, he is obsessed with anything his brother does, says, wears, etc. Jeff was a bad coach, but he was not nearly as bad as he is on TV. But hey, he is a better commentator than a singer.

Avery Johnson and most ex-All Stars

Avery is the perfect example of a player who goes to TV and fails. His voice is like nails on a chalk board. Even when he says something beneficial, you can’t pay attention to it because of his voice. ESPN has realized this and relegated him to the second-team of sportscasters. But every once in a while, he’s on a game and just demolishes it. Not only is he annoying, but he’s a close second to Van Gundy in the ugly category. There’s really no positive to him, or really most other ex-All Stars, as a sportscaster. Just watch the video and you’ll see Jalen Rose, Avery Johnson, and Andre Igoudala fail at telling anyone anything of importance.

Women sideline reporters

Putting these women on the field may have been the worst decision made in sports. Yeah, a few are really attractive, but the minute they open their mouths, their looks go to waste. Some of the things they say are absolutely ridiculous and can make you want to sit in silence rather than watch the game. Women are successful on the sidelines as cheerleaders, and they should stick to that rather than tell viewers unnecessary things about players’ antics on the sidelines. Until they find a really hot girl that can ask good questions in an interview or provide useful information from the sidelines, you should just hit mute anytime you see them on air.

      Wow you are way off on this one COED. Steven A. Smith is the only reason to watch ESPN anymore. His insight is top notch and refreshing. So nice to have something on ESPN, besides hyping sports all the time. He speaks his mind and tells it like it is. And I am a boring upper middle-class white dude from da burbs!:)

      Jeff Van Gundy is quite possibly the funniest man I have ever listened to on TV. He and Mark Jackson should get there own sitcom show. Better than anything else on ABC.

      agreed with Mike, Steven A Smith is watchable. Stu Scott on the other hand, you cant stop looking at his dead eye, while he tries to talk like he is in a barbershop. We get it, youre black, now just read the damn scores and stop ad-libbing with your shitty jive talk'.
