Jim Nantz is one of the best communicators this world has ever seen. An all star on every level. You are probably the first person I've ever heard that doesn't like him.

Nance is very good IMO...one thing I was thinking about him though, he comes off as a little soft...for as big time an announcer as Nance is he doesn't come off like he's a big shot, which is fine.

You have to admit the guy is all over the place and right at the top....he doesn't have that personality though.

I don't see Nance as being an ass to regualr people like a lot of these guys who become 'too good' for everyone....

When you think of the very top play by play guys you rarely even remember Jim Nance , who is obviously right there.

fvck Nancyboy! He had no right to grill Z. Johnson like that! What an assh*le. Z. handled it well, but ask the kid some golf questions. Nance is not needed, he's just another dork. He really doesn't know anything more than what he is told.

Nantz is excellent, he was trying to capture the emotion of the event.

Nantz played college golf at Houston and was a teammate with Fred Couples, that was an excellent college golf team.

One thing is for sure, Jim Nantz is no Gus Johnson.

" Hello Friends"


So true!

He must sit in his hotel room trying to come up the phrase he is going to use depending on who wins.

'97 Simon Sez Championship

'2002 you can paint the college basketball world yello.

Tech vs UConn
No shirts and ties, but jackets required.

Enough already.

Someone please tell CBS to get rid of Vern Lundquist.

OH MY! Every long pass thrown in the SEC. receiver could have 3 guys on him " He's Got a Man Deep"

There are not very many Vern Lundquist's around, reminds me a lot of the great Keith Jackson. I have a lot of respect for the work Vern has put in over the years. The guy IMO still calls a great game.

Addict,

I have to disagree with you. I feel like he doesn't know where he is at times.

Also, no broadcaster in the history of time has every screwed up like Tim Ryan did for CBS. In the 2nd qtr of a UNLV game he said we reached the end of the 1st qtr 3 times. He was suspened for a week by ESPN after that. UNLV takes 2 TO's and he goes we have reached the end of the 1st qtr and then someone punted and he goes we have reached the end of the 1st qtr. There was like 9 minutes left in the 2nd.

I HATE Keith Jackson. If it doesn't have to do with Pac 1 and little 9. He hates everyone. He acts like and elitist snob. Also, is there worse play by play lead than Fouts now. Also, can Fouts stop acting like Phil Knight when it comes to Oregon. I understand he is alum, but try not to act like you bet Oregon ML in every game.

Good God, is there anyone you do like in the broadcasting industry? This is more than ESPN, this is also ABC and CBS.

You guys are missing the point about what makes Nantz great. He is a natural when it comes to communication skills. Textbook example if you were to take a public speaking course. He is articulate, poised, has just enough emotion, and makes you feel like you know him like a friend. His abilities are unmatched in the sports world. Someone might like Gus Johnson's play calling better, but Gus could not do what Nantz does. Nobody else can either. Even when you compare him to non-sports media personalities, you realize what a pro Nantz is. He makes Katie Couric and Brian Williams look like complete amateurs. He could have any anchor job on any station that he wanted.
