Who in the national sports media has most overstayed their welcome? [View all]

My nominee would be Bob Costas. His ever-earnest Smart Boy routine is stale to the point of nausea-inducing.
And is there anyone more artificial than Jim Nantz? OK, I admit part of the reason I hate him is he reminds me of Mittens...a LOT!
But there are many worthies. I'm sure I've omitted some.
