Awful Announcing has revealed the broadcast teams for NFL on Fox in 2014. Sorry Twitter, but Gus Johnson has not been tabbed to replace Joe Buck as the #1 play-by-play man. The Joe Buck-Troy Aikman team is intact for one more year atop the Fox depth chart, with Erin Andrews joining them to replace Pam Oliver.

More from NFL

Let’s break these down quickly:

1. Joe Buck, Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews

You know what you’re getting from this team. Smugness from Buck, occasional insight mixed in with some addle-brained nonsense from Aikman and Erin Andrews patrolling the sidelines in a variety of outfits.

2. Kevin Burkhardt, John Lynch and Pam Oliver

I don’t get why John Lynch keeps getting promoted up the ladder at Fox. Isn’t he terrible? He’s terrible. Pam Oliver gets demoted to the second team and immediately classes it up.

3. Chris Myers, Ronde Barber and Jennifer Hale

I’ve always been underwhelmed by Myers as a play-by-play guy. Ronde Barber, I can’t honestly remember ever hearing him call a game though I’m sure I have. Jennifer Hale is another person who makes no particular impression.

4. Thom Brennaman, David Diehl and Laura Okmin

The good news: Brian Billick and his idiocy are gone. THE MAN’S NAME IS JARED ALLEN, NOT GERALD ALLEN. David Diehl steps in as a rookie, so who knows what we’ll get from him. Let’s hope he avoids doing the Tony Siragusa big-jolly-fat-guy bit. I hate that. Laura Okmin seems professional. Oh, and Thom Brennaman sucks.

5. Kenny Albert, Daryl “Moose” Johnston and Tony Siragusa

Albert and Moose would arguably be the best two-man team on the entire Fox roster, but they have to ruin it with Siragusa and his bullcrap. Why do they keep employing this meatball?

6. Dick Stockton, Donovan McNabb/Brady Quinn/Kirk Morrison and Kristina Pink

This is the wild card team. McNabb, Quinn and Morrison I guess are going to rotate. I hope that doesn’t confuse Dick Stockton. He seems to get confused easily. Kristina Pink, I can’t even tell you what she looks like or if she’s good.

A lot of familiar people in there, and the few new folks are not encouraging. Thank goodness for the mute button.
