Their is a big difference between UK sports announcer and US announcers. The UK announcers inform the viewers about the game, the players and the tactics being employed. In the US we have to suffer the preening peacocks like Al Michaels and Joe Buck who think they are as important as the game they are announcing.

Nothing more annoying than US media announcers nyuk, nyuking their way through games. It is insufferable to listen to Al Michaels and Joe Buck in nationally televised NFL games spending more time discussing TO and Chad Ochocinco than informing the fans about what is actually happening on the field or their endless pitching of upcoming network TV shows.

Its a pleasure listening to British announcers in World Cup play on ESPN. Thank God they weren’t using many American self-promoting US announcers from ESPN’s stable.

And what’s the problem with meters? Just think yards. If you don’t like it watch Univision which has the best coverage and all you have to know is “Goooalll.”
