If you're like me, you have, from time to time, dreamed of being a sportscaster. I enjoy listening to good broadcasters. The best ones will paint an excellent picture of the action without trying too hard. Personally, I am partial to guys on the radio for a number of reasons. There are a large number of excellent announcers on TV, though, and I will give them their do. Inherently, I love most of the guys in Colorado. I hear them all the time, so I am very familiar with them, and we are blessed to have some excellent broadcasters. Here are the guys that I would nominate for best and worst:
