I am on a mission to find the worst sportscaster in sports. There are more than enough candidates now that the main sports media outlets(yes, that's you ESPN) continue to get dumber and dumber. They are all trying to make a new catchphrase and none of them work. Yeah, Dan Patrick and Stuart Scott were somewhat cool 10 years ago, but now they are just annoying. They all try to buy into stupid cliches and end up sounding just dumb. Here are my nominees (feel free to add your own nominations). By the way, I am only taking major media sportscasters so that "Boom, goes the dynamite!" kid doesn't count.
-Skip Bayless
Why: He will disagree with anything and makes no sense on about 95% of his comments.
-Stuart Scott
Why: I will admit, Stu was cool back in the day, but now he is a shell of his former self. He is always trying to use terms that aren't necessary and often will try to sound "street".
-Chris Berman
Why: Some of his stuff is good, but most of it is annoying and stupid. Does every NFL player need a nickname? How many times does he say "Back, back, back" at home run derbys? It's getting old, Swami.
-Jim Rome
Why: I used to like Jim, but now he is trying to live up to the character he created. He is trying to hard to be that hard-hitting, smack talker he was when he first came up.
Screamin A. Smith
Why: I like that he actually voices his opinions but he does it too strongly. Does he always have to yell? No matter who he is talking to, he tries to be the star of the conversation and that is one of the reason his talk show got cancelled. What good is an interview if you hardly let the other person talk?

The guy I can't stand is that want-a-be Sports Announcer: BYRAN GUM_BALL. Did anyone catch him on ESPN last year trying to do Football. I refuse to listen to his play by play! Turned him off & missed the rest of the games he was on.
Using the word "personality" and this guys name in the same sentence is kind of a crime, but Scott Hastings if flipping HORRIBLE as an announcer. Every time I'm done watching a game he called I have to call the suicide hotline.
My other "fav" would be Steven A Smith. He sucks. He's loud, he's obnoxious, and he doesn't usually have anything interesting to say.
