I think an underrated reason why the Caps have become so popular in the DC area over the past two seasons is that Joe Beninati is such a damn good announcer. He always does a great job of teaching the audience the finer points of hockey without talking down to the viewers, and he does it in a way that you barely notice it. This helps more casual fans follow the game closer. Since he's on the local broadcast he may seem to be a bit of a homer to non-Caps fans but I still thinks he manages to keep it professional.

As for football, I like Aikman a lot and Joe Buck is okay but I get annoyed when he (and all announcers) pick some random point and harp on it for the rest of the game. There is a CBS team that I like but I can't remember who they are right now since I don't watch as many AFC games. I think it might be Ian Eagle and whoever he's with but I'm not sure.
