1. Dan Patrick
2. Rich Eisen
3. Keith Olberman
4. Kenny Mayne (Doesn't anyone remember when he was on the air? He was HILARIOUS)
5. After these four guys, pretty much everyone is the same in my book. I don't remember Kilborn, I was young and didn't watch a whole lot of sports TV

4. Dan Patrick
5. Stu Scott (although he has become quite annoying over the years, his early years were fresh).

As far as reporters go, you can't beat Rachael Nichols. Soooo hot, want to touch the hiney. Owwooo!

My favorite lines from the show are, "Get to the chopper, NOOOOW!" and "Kick save. And a beauty", although I can't remember who says either of them.

5. Stu Scott (although he has become quite annoying over the years, his early years were fresh).

I agree one-hundred percent...he was so hip at the beginning (remember when he made BOOYA popular??) I think his skills have faded over time, much like his lazy eye keeps drifting farther and farther....

Stuart used to be my fav, but now its prolly a toss up between DP and KM

1. Dan Patrick
2. Kenny Mayne
3. Suzy Kolber

5. sometimes I like Stuart Scott, sometimes I think he takes it overboard, he did lose an eye on the job though so I will give him the sympathy five spot!

I'm pretty indifferent on the SC anchors, but I always enjoy Chris Berman on NFL Primetime during the football season. Every Sunday night, he's always good for a "WHHHAAAAPPP!!!" and "HE COULD GOOO ALLLL THEEE WAAYYY!!!"

Most people probably get tired of the same old comments...Jake "daylight come and you gotta" Delhomme, and Larry "Grandmama" Johnson. But I always laugh because he says the same thing every week.

I miss Kenny and Rich. I am still trying to figure out ESPN's rotation of anchors, they come and go all the time!

The new guys are OK but they treat the show like it is a stand-up comic routine. A little levity is great...but for every highlight?! Also, the show has become mostly a promotional vehicle for the upcoming events that will be broadcast on the "ESPN / ABC / Disney family". It seemed that half the Sunday night / Monday morning shows were somehow related to MNF this past football season.

Frankly, the new fox recap show that uses the visual rundown so you know what is coming is better today (in my opinion).

1&2 Patrick and his tag team partner Olberman
3 Rich Eisen
4 Kenny Mayne
5 Linda Cohn (She's top 5 merely because everyone was dogging on her in the other thread.)

My list is no doubtfully dated since I no longer watch Sports Center as religiously as I had in the early/mid 90's.

I still can't believe that ESPN wanted Keith Murphy and he turned them down. That was a few years ago now. He may have a SC spot by now....But WHO 13 is a better gig, right?
