Announcers are hard to take

Did they hand pick the homer color guys?

Abdulnabi, a former Duke player, doing their game and Rex Chapman, former Kentucky player, doing the second game. It seems a little too much for my taste.
 
Check your channels, Dan

They're running these games on 2 channels; the main TBS channel is Jim Nantz, Rafterry, and Grant Hill; the other channel is the homer channel
 
Thanks, I figured it out on my own too...

I couldn't believe that they would have that clown Rex Chapman doing a national telecast.
 
The only announcers I never find annoying or english soccer announcers.

they aren't trying to sell a brand or put themselves above the game.
They simply call the game and whenever they do provide color commentary it is purely
factual information that relates to the game.

US announcers are the worst.
 
Three broadcasts but you can't see any of them w/o cable. Bad idea. *

Aguerooooooooooooooo!

Martin Tyler, John Champion and Co are unmatched.

"After 40 minutes of stultifying football, a spectacular wonder strike by Yaya Toure"

When would you hear an American announcer outside of Cosell use (or even know the meaning of) the word "stultifying"?
 
It would be much better if we could get five people in the booth!!!!
