Give up 6 runs over 1/3 of an inning? Sure, go to town. Give up 1 run and say that? Then you're just an rear end in a top hat.

I would give just about any of my worldly possessions to be a kid and have one more season of Cubs baseball broadcast by Harry Caray and Steve Stone with almost every game back on WGN. But with the current roster, not some of the suck-rear end teams I watched as a kid. Ah, memories.

Summerall was even more boring and emotionless than Joe Buck, but no one noticed because he was paired with Madden. I never remember him getting even remotely excited about anything that happened in front of him. He sounded like he was calling loving golf (which he actually did!). If internet sports criticism had been a thing back then and he'd been paired with someone as bland as Troy Aikman and he'd get a lot of the same criticism Buck does now. There is a lot of nostalgia clouding people's memory of him.

Pairings are important, though. Michael Kay is almost tolerable when Singleton and/or Cone are around and completely trash garbage awful otherwise. Part of why Buck is so bad with baseball is he gets paired with people who flat out loving suck. e: You can see this in the ESPN sunday night baseball booth too, with how Kruk transforms everyone into awful and Kruk+Schilling somehow makes that even worse

He flubbed names left and right and was audibly confused at points during the games.

Pat Summerall was at least endearingly bad and had a great voice. Joe Buck comes across like a total dickhead.

That's old guy Summerall, though. I get that sometimes it's time to move on, but Joe Buck was born monotone. Summerall started broadcasting in 1962, was paired up with Madden before I was born, and was inducted into the broadcaster HoF before FOX won out the rights to broadcast football. He was pretty good for a pretty long time. He was a recovered alcoholic, that's true.

I spent more time than I care to think about as a teenager listening to video game Madden and Summerall talk in hushed, digital tones about Urlacher sacking the poo poo out of Madden Favre.

You need a balance and their's worked because you could tell they liked each other and they liked the game and what they were doing. Combining bland with bland kills the emotion of the game, and if you put two guys together who get too excited it runs the risk of turning into a parody of itself. Imagine Gus and Vitale together and not cringe. But when you get the right balance and chemistry it's great. Summerall and Madden are one of the best sportscasting duos, with Patrick/Olbermann, Verne/Raft, and Gorilla/Heenan.

Joe Morgan single handedly drove me away from watching baseball on ESPN. I appreciate it though because it meant I started watching more soccer.
