How can you tell/why do you care about the difference between different announcers? (alien.top)

I've seen so many people bitching about Joe Buck and Chris Colinsworth, but I honestly don't even notice the announcer during the game. It's just like "Oh, this helpful person is telling me stuff about the game I'm already watching, but I don't care who you are."

What's the difference between a good and bad announcer?

Most PxP announcers should be locked in a room for 8 hours and be required to watch/listen to a highlight reel of peak Pat Summerall during his CBS years in the 80s. The epitome of “less is more”. He was the master of it.

“Simms… Bavaro… (pause)… touchdown!”
