Who do you take #1 overall in the first-ever sports media draft?

[Enfuego]

A few off the top of my head:

Herby
Hubie Brown
Vin Scully
Dan Schulman
Reece Davis

Others?

Does age matter?

You leaving out a lot of variables

Yes, just like any draft, age matters. Have to consider if you're the sports media team GM.

 

[Enfuego]

The guy is dead.

 

[The Guesser]

The guy is dead.

And he's still superior to anyone in the sports-media currently, even dead.

 

[RenoChazz]

Doc Emerick.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Chris Collinsworth is the best color guy for football in the world

 

[Knightrofins]

I go Bill Simmons. He knows MLB, NFL, NBA. He has a good cult following. He's friends with a bunch of people in the sports and entertainment industry. He's good on pop culture as well. Plus he LOVES to talk gambling.

Only downside is the Boston love

Dave Niehaus!

 

[Enfuego]

Dave Niehaus!

Wow, takes me back as a kid listening to him in the backyard calling M's games.

Don't think I've ever seen someone put Jim Rome on the Mt. Rushmore of sports broadcasters.

Oh, Mt. Rushmore?

Crap. Should have thought this through better.

Mt. Rushmore though, dead guys would have to be allowed.

So Cosell = automatic.



David Feherty
Jim Nantz.

No, guess what I'm saying is if there's a Mt. Rushmore that means your top 4. I've never seen Jim Rome in the top 4 of anything.

White ASox announcer Harry Carray Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Caray considered himself a man of the people, so he frequented bars instead of doing his drinking at home. It was fun, but it also was work: In the 1970s, Caray had incentives in his contract with the Chicago White Sox tied to attendance, so part of his partying was drumming up business to get folks to come out to Comiskey Park or watch on TV

 

[HarryCaray]

Doc Emerick.

Good one. I was always partial to Gary Thorne.

If we are talking studio guys, not in game announcers, Van Pelt is high on my list.

Jack Brickhouse is most known for calling Cubs games, but he was a versatile broadcaster.
