dave ryan= worst tv announcer
« on: November 01, 2004, 11:47:46 AM »
this guy is awful.  a three year old kid would be more exciting.  espn needs to find a replacement.  randy pederson does a great job but ryan's performance just makes it hard to want to watch.  maybe they should get bob costas or something, problem being is they wont spend the money on him.  but they seriously need to replace "and 60 feet to success for..."  that is one of the worst calls ever.  here is an idea; chris berman.  could you imagine a back, back, back, back, gone call or a he could go all the way.

Do what I have done for the past 2+ years: mute the voice, record the show and replay in slow motion any deliveries and ball-hitting-pins action you like or want to re-view. Works wonders!

Bob's right - he did say that.

So what's his next great observation?

Actually the WSOP announcers would be good - Norman Chad and Lon Macheron.

Dave Ryan was in a test off with a few other guys.  He won.

According to the people who pay.  I liked the guy right before him a touch better but he is gone.

What is it about these non bowling color announcers that people hate.  I've never seen anyone like any one in this seat!  EVER!

60 feet to success!  I like it!  Maybe he has been told to use that "Tag".

It's fine!

60 feet to success.... It's got a ring!
