Here's the problem with Dierdorf : He's a nice guy and i like the "guy". But as an analyst i can't STAND him. He's one of the sport apologists on an utterly ridiculous level. The guy won't criticize anything.
Its excuse after excuse after excuse after excuse. No player on either roster, from starters to the furthest subs, can do NO wrong.
Call out a mistake? Never.
For an example, its stuff like a QB can throw an INT, we'll say its right down the middle of the field into 3 defenders and the closest receiver is 20 yards away....an analyst such as a Collinsworth or a Simms (or many others) will say "what a bonehead throw.....you have to pay attention.....that was NOT a smart throw", etc, etc, etc., whatever.
Dierdorf will do a "well, you know, it was windy down there and i bet he got a little dust blown into his eye and i heard last week he stubbed his toe in the kitchen.......".
That might be extreme as an example, but its how Dierdorf is and thats why i can't stand him. Its almost as if he wont' call anyone "out" from the fraternity.

The worst ones are Sapp and Faulk with Collinsworth close behind. Not only are the things Sapp says stupid but his mannerisms and the way he talks make him look as stupid as the things he says. Faulk actually thinks he's the best player to play in the NFL and for some reason seems to be a Steeler hater. He also flip flops his opinion on a regular basis and is condescending even to other players. Collinsworth is just annoying. The best current play by play announcer IMO is Al Micheals. The best pre/post game analysts IMO are Cowher and Marino, they seem to be correct much more often then most others.

I forgot about Berman, add him to my list. He's an idiot, a big Steeler hater, and an a**hole when the camera is off.
