Watch the 1980 Winter Olympics, "Do you believe in Miracles?" is how Al got on that list. Summeral is a much better football announcer.

Hard to top that duo...

[JR2004]

A list where both Vin and Chick aren't 1 and 2 is pretty much worthless. At least they got it right on Vin.

[kepdawg]

After looking over the list again I realized I am not familiar with half of them.
