Yeah, Gus's voice isn't quite the problem. Whoever did the voice direction (if anyone) should be smacked hard, though. His inflection occasionally so incongruous it's startling and literally laughable:

"Run up the middle, five yard gain, tackle made." (matter-of-factly)

... (pause long enough to find a parking space at Arrowhead)

"...BY JENKINS!" (as if the game's just been won)

Collinsworth isn't bad, but as color guy, he doesn't get half his commentary spliced and reassembled. The work on Brad Nessler's commentary in NCAA is just exceptional (and Nessler seems to have put in a hell of a lot more time in the recording booth for thousands of nicknames and last names); it's so bad in Madden you'll seriously consider turning it off altogether.

If there were the slightest justice or illusion of equity in the college ranks, Miami would find itself axed for at least two years. Given its alumni and the TV dollars involved, I'm not stayin' up nights.
