The Road From Bristol

Brent Smushburger

Beano. What is his real name that he has to go by that?

Musburger. Guilty by association with Packer.

Musburger. Still icky after all these years.

Brent Musburger. Another Big Ten hommer

Musburger.

Musberger. This one is easy

Musburger.

Beano. He looks older.

They're both horrible bandwagon type announcers, but Musberger gets the vote because his constant interjection of how X team must do this so they can win (read: cover the spread) gets very old. Also, I suspect he wears a toupee.

Musberger. "Quarterback has plenty of time and HE IS SACKED!"

Beano.

Musburger

Musberger.

Beano's just a big cuddly mascot. Who could vote against that?

Musberger. Though I can't actually remember him for anything.

Beano. Those jowls just creep me out whenever I look at him.

Beano Cook. (Musberger's pure hatred of my local, hated Miami Hurricanes is enough to keep him from getting this vote.) The sight of Beano Cook's neck has turned me off from ever eating a Thanksgiving turkey ever again. His radio appearances with Crank Oldberg, er, Hank Goldberg, should be used by the powers-that-be at Gitmo to torture Al-Qaeda prisoners.

Brent.

Musberger - older than dirt or at least it seems that way

Beano - what kind of name is that anyway?

Musberger

I'm going with Beano.

Have to go with Beano - they wheel him out for the occasional commentary like they just shocked him back to the living.

And, for some curious reason, I enjoy Brent doing college football.

To all readers:

If you are a BASEBALL fan whatsoever, you'd vote AGAINST BEANO COOK.

He openly and savagely hates Baseball.

He once said that the best days of the year are "the day Baseball season ends and the day football season begins."

As a die hard Atlanta Braves fan, this crime is intolerable. I love both sports but don't talk that way about BASEBALL you old, fat, creepy loser.

I've actually waited for Cook to vote for him. Granted this is a tough first round match considering Musberger has single handedly ended my watching of ABC College Basketball and his college football calls are unlistenable but Beano has gotten on my nerves for years I see him about 4-6 times a year and everytime I do I wonder why am I seeing this guy again. Always felt condescending to me and the baseball thing is just one more strike against him.

Crustburger

Beano for being a baseball hater.

When Bowie Kuhn gave lifetime baseball passes to the former hostages in Iran, Beano remarked "haven't they suffered enough?"

Musberger. Beano has grown on me a bit over the years. Musberger just seems to get worse over the years.

Beano Cook.

beano.

Beano. For not just being a blind PSU homer but often a Golden Dhomer as well.

Beano (heh heh) hasn't made enough of an impression on me to even know who he is.

Furburger, on the other hand, is the annoyance that just won't stop. Gotta go with Brent.

Musburger.

Musberger.

Musburger.

Beano Cook - I CANNNNTTT stand him.

Musberger

Beano.

But I don't understand the Penn State homer comment. I went to Penn State, am a fan of Penn State, and the guy is the former Pitt SID and in no way a Penn State homer. In '99, he did guarantee that PSU would be 12-0 when they were 9-0 and they ended up going 9-3, but that's just his abject stupidity.

Musberger has been stinking up the joint for years in a wide range of sports, but Beano is a complete moron and shouldn't get a pass just because he focuses on college football. He's a cross between Jabba the Hut and the Pope - a fat bastard that thinks it's divine intervention when ND wins a game.

Beano gets my vote, but neither of these guys should go too deep into this tournament. The younger, louder, more obnoxious guys, with the exception maybe of Vitale, seem to have the momentum to make deeper runs into the tourney.

Musberger, if only because Beano's weekly appearances on ESPNnews are the highest of high comedy.

"Uh oh... grandpa's gotten into the gin again and he's starting to rant about sports. Better put him on TV."

Y'know, I heard an old NBA game on ESPN Classic, and Musberger was less annoying than I remembered. At worst, as bad as Walton, and I think Walton is the best of the NBA broadcasters. Beano, on the other hand, still things the single wing is innovative.

Beano has to go.

Beano. They should put TV-MA in the upper lefthand corner when he appears on TV.

Beano Cook

Beano

Beano

Beano has a terrible neck, but the only thing worse than listening to Musburger announce a game is listening to Keith Jackson announce a game.

Musberger

Beano. Too old.

Furburger it is. I can't pick Beano because I thought he was dead.

beano the jabba.

i don't even know who beano cook is, but my dad seems to take a particular hating to him, so he gets my vote.

Beano. He's not so much a homer for Penn State as it is he just loves to suck Joe Paterno's cock every chance he gets. And he loves him some Notre Dame talk. Like when in the last 10 years has ND been important in college football? Doesn't matter, Beano will bore you to tears talking about the Notre Dame-Navy game. Kee-rist.

Beano. Musburger, like Al Michaels, gets a pass for what he did in his prime.

Beano

Ultimate Michigan homer (Mussy) vs. Ultimate Notre Dame homer (Beano) makes this a toss-up for everyone Spartan.

Gotta go with Beano.

Musberger, because he's on every f'in big 10 game I watch. Beano only crawls out of Joe Pa's ass once in awhile...At least Beano doesn't do games...

Beano Cook...just because I didn't think he was still around.

Beano it is.

The Brent, for his continuing habit of calling Duke's arena "The Cameron".

Beano, someone please put him out of our misery.

Brent Musberger - I strongly encourage you all to read Joe Queenan's Red Lobster, White Trash, and the Blue Lagoon to find the Musberger cameo.

Beano -

When he made his 1985 debut in Bristol he had a double chin. Now 20 years later, he has 21 chins.

He pronounces LSU as W-L_SU

cook

at one time the other guy actually had some talent

Mmmm. Burger.

Musberger

Musberger. At least Beano still is entertaining in it's sort of sad way. Plus, he seems to like Michigan Stadium. With Musberger, I'd rather read the captioning than listen to him.

Brent M. As he gets older, Musburger is becoming even more annoying. Beano hasn't gotten worse.

Musberger all the way to the finals against Smith...or Scott...or Kruk...or Morgan...or Sutcliffe...or Mariotti...or Bucher...or... Is there even one who doesn't sucksucksucksucksuck? Honorary seeding into the Sweet 16 for Walton and Joe Buck even if they're not on ESPN.

I wish I could vote for both of these guys. It's a toss-up, but I'll pick Beano.

Beano

What a great match-up, kind of like ARMY-NAVY. Brent can actually still talk about something since the Kennedy administration, so I'm voting for BEANO.

Musberger

Beano.

Musburger.

Musberger. Horrible Horrible Horrible.

Beano.

Beano. Hatred of baseball is intolerable. Even my wife pretends to like baseball so as not to offend me.

Yeah, Beano .. Musberger has called some great football games over the years and not dropped his glasses like "the legend" Larry Munson.

Beano. It was a toss-up until I read that Beano hates baseball.

Beano.

Beano.

Beano - he scares me

Beano - hates every sport other than Notre Dame football. And the Army-Navy game.

Beano needs to advance - though I'm not sure if he'd know it if he didn't.

musberger

Beano

beano sucks hardcore- musberger atleast has a kickass drinking game in his name

Beano, god, he's just so ugly. Get off my tv!!

Musberger.

Beano is mentally impaired, but Musberger should be a 1 or 2 seed. Big event Brent is the worst.

Beano.

Anybody who willingly goes by the name "Beano" has to get my vote.

Musberger

His coverage of the World Cup in '98 was insufferable.
