Maybe it's just me but CBS' production is the best in the biz and I generally like their announcers, replay, pre and post game etc. FOX and FS1 has virtually zero crowd and field noise and they pump in fake noise IMO and it's very un-natural...maybe it's me or my setup yet I prefer CBS and then NBC.
Interesting, because I thought that was one of the worst video performances on a football game I've seen in decades. Poor angles, missed action. It was like rookies were running the cameras and the director(s) were out to lunch. IMHO, of course.

I think Nessler is the best in the business. I’ll cut him slack on 81’s name. Even our own beat writers mess up our guys’ names. Chad ‘Spitty K’ Salivakow says WEEZ-koff instead of WIZE-koff.
He still struggles and says Va-NAH-may. It’s Voh-NAH-mee. Like Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds. Gor…laaaah…me.
Names are one thing, although that's a fundamental aspect of broadcasting. But being biased is unacceptable for a national broadcaster, and Nessler was cheering for Michigan all the way. No doubt about that. But then CBS has gone to hell. This is just one more piece of evidence.

Can you show us on the doll where Nessler and CBS touched you?

I've never liked Van Pelt and like him even less now. When I was younger, I loved ESPN, I watched it all the time. Now that the Hawks rarely ever play on it, no need to tune in.

Google SVP and the Kinnick wave. Might change your mind. I’ve always really liked SVP. Also the one about his dog Otis, I dare you to not reach for a Kleenex.
