That's a pretty impressive list right off the top of the dome. I'm a big Eisen guy, and I ctually like Aikman but admittedly I don't follow these guys too closely. Schefter obviously on Twitter, he' jut about te only one I read daily and its mostly facts nt opinion. Collinsworth I dont like though.

Is there someone you don't like? :P
I like Eisen and Deion for the most part. And Al Michaels is solid. The rest are meh to me.

I really like Collinsworth. I know many people thinks he comes off as a d-bag, but I think he's really insightful and actually doesn't waste my time when he speaks.
As for Matt's list I really don't like Trent Dilfer, who actually comes of as a massive douche. Aikman isn't a favorite of mine either, and Wingo is so-so. A personality missing on that list would be Jim Nance.

I like Collinsworth as well, but I 100% get why a lot of people don't.
I know a few people who dislike Akiman as well, but I think he's better than most former QB's (Bradshaw, Dilfer, Trent Green all come to mind) and that perspective makes me like him a little more.

Chris Brown is very under rated I just wish he would blog more. Based off from personality alone Rich Eisen is the best. I've always loved Gus Johnson's excitement towards the game. Pat summerol (sp) and John Madden were the best football commentary duo ever ever.

Of that original list a lot of them are just flat annoying. I'm going to say i really enjoy Mike Mayock and to some extent John Lynch and Herm Edwards. Boy there aren't a lot that would make me turn off the mute button.

I don't know what's not to like about Collinsworth. He actually talks about the game and stuff.
I really like Bill Barnwell. I've been reading his stuff for years.

Collinsworth has grown on me a lot actually. I used to not be able to stand him but he doesn't bother me at all anymore.

I like Jim Nance a lot too. Love hearing Nance and Simms calling the Pats.

Anyone not named Joe Buck.
But in all seriousness, I like Tony, Moose and Goose as well as Simms, Bob Papa, Gruden and Eisen.

Oh I forgot about everyone's favorite, Joe Buck.

I love Rich Eisen. Him and Stuart Scott used to be an awesome duo on SportsCenter.

"That right there is a touchdown. And you know that's a touchdown because ... you see right there? BOOM! The ball crossed the goal line." -- I'm pretty sure John Madden said that, at some point. Loved that guy.

The 90s Sportscenter was so much better.

Meh, the vast, vast, vast majority of football related broatcasters and other "personalities" are simply guys I tolerate. I seem to "like" few, if any. There are quite a few that I purely dislike though.
So many line-toting douchebags that spew word vomit or just plain don't get their facts right. I've pretty much all but stopped watching things like NFL Live because I just plain can't stand it anymore.

I can't watch NFL live anymore either. Sometimes it seems like they forget there are other teams in the NFL besides the Jets and Broncos lately.
Anyway, I'm indifferent to the talking heads most of the time; however I do like Marcellus Wiley or however you spell it.
My least favorite is Jaws. It's his excessive television tone of voice; usually when I'm watching MNF we just put the **** on mute and listen to music because of that trio.

Marcellus (Wallace) Wiley is my personal fave along with Chris Berman.
Can't get much better than that.

I don't know if he said that but he did say "Usually, the team that scores the most points wins the game." Usually?
