I have a person in mind that I'll reveal later. I want to see who you think just plain bugs you the most on ESPN.

I have to go with STEPHEN A. SMITH ....I am using all caps because much like Mr. Smith, I have to yell about everything.
Oh, and as an aside if you host your own radio show and TV show on ESPN, I believe that you need to have at least a minimal knowldege about all of the major sports and not just Basketball...
But thats just me, I like sports talk that is informed not just yelling....

For anchoring SportsCenter, it's Linda Cohen. When she was still early in her career, she was far better than she is now. She's tried to hard to jump into the Stuart Scott-esque wacky, popular catchphrases. It works for Stu, not for Linda. Linda needs to be more like a Fred Hickman, or even Dan Patrick, type by sticking to more straightlaced anchoring, and dropping in the cool/catchy comments only on occasion.
If it's any ESPN personality, I wish Joe Theismann and Rick Sutcliffe would be muted. Just because you played the sport certainly does not mean you should be allowed to discuss it. Those two are awful at their respective sports broadcasting.

Chris Berman has the most annoying voice ever!! He is loud and obnoxious. And now they are letting him cover golf!?!? I wonder about that logic...or lack in thereof!!
Have an AWESOME day!!
CosmicKelly :)
BTW: On a more positive note-the guy that does the "Behind the Lines" on Sunday mornings....I could listen to him all day!! I love his stories and the depth of his reporting.

ESPN in general is annoying. They are jingoistic and provencial. They mostly ignore all of the top sports (based on numbers of fans) in the World.
The top 3 sports get less than 1% of airtime.

I can't stand Peter Gammons... I think he should retire & quit talking about baseball being the greatest thing ever created by man. What a dork, he should learn about football!

Stephen A. Smith
Mark May (USC's the greatest team of all time??? Moron)
Trev Alberts....I guess he's not there anymore
But my least favorite of them all, and I don't know if they counts or not:
Joe Theisman and Paul Maguire

I'm gonna have to go with Linda Cohn. I'm not sexist but I think most people (male and female) find her annoying on some level.
