re: Least/most favorite sports personality

Plus category
Todd Blackledge with almost anybody except Joe Tessitore on a college football game. I still like Al Michaels, though Cris Collinsworth is unbearable. I like Tony Romo. And I like Scott Van Pelt.

Minus category
Almost all of ESPN's talking heads, including Dick Vitale, Screamin' A. Smith, Tony Kornheiser, Michael Wilbon, Max Kellerman. Vitale has jumped to the top with all of his hypocritical remarks about Will Wade as he defends Bill Self, Rick Pitino, Coach K, Roy Williams, Tom Izzo, etc.

Also, Rece Davis makes this list when he became a little defensive bitch during the Devin White fiasco last year as some of his colleagues rightfully called out the SEC for its lack of transparency. And Tessitore is an unbearable game show host on Monday Night Football.

Jim Nantz makes me want to punch people.

And finally, Troy Aikman may be the single-dumbest person on sports TV now that Jason Witten went back to the Cowboys. Aikman does an excellent job of using the words "excellent" and "good job of" a lot without adding a damn thing.

Pat Summerall and Verne Lundquist. Two of the best PBP guys ever to call football and pleasant to listen to for three-plus hours.
