How can you tell/why do you care about the difference between different announcers? (alien.top)

I've seen so many people bitching about Joe Buck and Chris Colinsworth, but I honestly don't even notice the announcer during the game. It's just like "Oh, this helpful person is telling me stuff about the game I'm already watching, but I don't care who you are."

What's the difference between a good and bad announcer?

It is basically infotainment. Good announcers are entertaining and informative and bring a good blend of the two.

Joe Buck has gotten a lot better in the last few years once he and Aikman stopped giving a shit about being buttoned up all the time and let some of their actual personalities out.

Colinsworth used to be okay as an average announcer but he has gone all in with the PFF shilling a decade ago, he is basically white noise now. Not good or bad really.

Used to love Romo but he has been phoning it in the last few years. Still better than Phil Simms was in his later years but not nearly as good as he was in his prime.

Will be excited to see how Brady fares.
