Fox Unveils Another Year Of Crappy Announcer Pairings For NFL Games

Michael Hiestand of USA Today reports Fox will announce their announcer pairings for the NFL today. The top three teams of Buck/Aikman, Albert/Johnston/Siragusa, and Brennaman/Billick will remain intact. There are other changes though.

(1) Joe Buck and Troy Aikman; (2) Kenny Albert, Daryl Johnston, and Tony Siragusa; (3) Thom Brennaman and Brian Billick; (4) Dick Stockton and John Lynch; (5) Chris Myers and Tim Ryan; (6) Ron Pitts and Jim Mora; and (7) Sam Rosen and Chad Pennington.  Newcomer Gus Johnson and Charles Davis will periodically supplement their college football duties with a pro game.

Besides Buck and Aikman, is there one pair in this group that you like? I actually enjoyed the Rosen/Ryan pairing but that's probably because they were basically the 49ers announcers. Now they've been split up. Now there isn't a single pairing besides Buck/Aikman that I would enjoy.

Siragusa ruins the Albert/Johnston pairing. Brennaman and Billick suck. Dick Stockton should be locked in a retirement home. Myers is terrible. I haven't heard Pitts enough to make a judgement. I've always enjoyed Rosen, but he'll probably won't call as many 49ers games anymore. And Gus Johnson won't call an NFL team until October.

So name me one of the Fox pairings you're looking forward to listening to? You can't. So Fox has just unveiled another year of crappy announcer pairings for the NFL games.
