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?

My only Joe Buck beef is the call on the Derrick Henry 99 yard run and I like to think he was so shocked that no one tackled him he really didn't know what to do. He has the best call of the modern era (Diggs, sideline, touchdown, unbelievable). He's also the only modern announcer that will let the game breath a la Pat Summerall.

Collinsworth can be annoying.
I think Al is over it, but when he let's that show it's funny.
Thursday Troy is fun. He's got a little more dgaf about him on Thusdays that I like.

The announcers that really get on my nerves are the one's that say all the names wrong and the ones that won't shut the fuck up. This isn't around the horn, you don't get points per word during a game. You are not why we are watching, you are companion piece. Act like it.

I think the Beth Mowins hate is stupid. I get some of you losers never want a chick to call a game, you're dead wrong.

What makes a good announcer? Someone that can enhance the game experience without getting in the way of it. Someone that can FEEL the game. There are times to talk and times to shut up and that is all feel. I want to feel like I'm watching a game with a buddy that knows way more about football than me, but is still there with me to just watch the game.
