I don’t get why people hate Buck. A person can get hired because of a famous father. But a person doesn’t become the number one broadcaster (in two sports) because of his father. If an analyst is good the play by play guy is almost irrelevant. Buck works with two of the best in Smoltz and Aikman.

When an analyst is bad the broadcast is bad. Jerry Remy is an example of a bad analyst He tells you what you just saw. He has no idea why it occurred. Plus his hitting philosophy goes back to the 70’s and 80’s as a banjo hitter. He couldn’t hit the ball out of the park if he retrieved the ball, picked it up and hit it again (seven career homers, only 140 career doubles)

Kevin Harlan is a noticeably horrible play by play guy because he tries to make ordinary plays sound like big play excitement based on their potential rather than actual result.
