Ideal Announcers

[Bestiarius]

It has come to me that, no matter how good, announcers cannot satisfy everyone.
What we need is alternate audio feeds to service the various fan bases. Your choice:

1. The Homer - These announcers will heap praise on the home team to the exclusion of reality or facts.

2. The Historian - Report the score periodically, but mainly just talk about the good old days, what the players did in High School, anecdotes, contemporaries of Sue Bird must be mentioned at least every 10 minutes.

3. The Fashionista - These announcers will serve the pre-teen group. In depth discussion of uniform design, tattoos (line what kind of discount should be demanded for spelling errors), and above all shoes.

4. Stat Geek – Must be former baseball announcers, have prodigious memories for facts going all the way back to Naismith.

5. The Ace Announcer – Device that plays back our own comments interspersed with the actual announcers drivel.

6. The Former Player - Filled with x's & o's arcane terminology and acronyms.

6. The Oppositionist – For all those who like “the other” team.

Any other categories we need to add?

8. The high-profile incompetent. Somewhere along the line was in the right place at the right time to reap the rewards and get the credit for someone else's good work. Still no clue about how the game is actually played, but still riding that age old gravy train robbery.

Most games have two announcers, one for play by play, and one for commentary. The play-by play person should actually watch the game, and tell us what is going on, i.e. who scored, who fouled, what was the foul, how many fouls do they have. The Commentary person should provide good insight ( not incite ) into to game, e.g. why a team is in a certain defense, what might have been discussed during a timeout, what is working or not working and why.

9. Eye Candy- vapid announcer who has the job she has simply because she's hot in an act of blatant pandering to an audience who doesn't watch women's basketball anyway. But I watch on mute.

This is hypothetical, right?
