I'd say Patrick and Olbermann, but with a qualification...
I grew up in Bristol,CT, where ESPN happens to be based. Working for the local newspaper, I ended up meeting many (if not most) of the personalities who work there, and did interviews with many of them.
As such...I thought Keith Olberman was a complete ass. I met him on a couple of occasions, and he was always rude.
On the other hand, Berman, Ley, Dan Patrick, Robin Roberts, Charlie Steiner and the rest were great, some of the nicest people I've met in the business. Stuart Scott was great to talk to, and Rich Eisen (now with the NFL network) even offered career advice. Even Rob Dibble was great to talk to (intense but eager to talk/help with anything).
So while they were my favorite SportsCenter team, I didn't necessarily like Olberman personally, just thought he was a great anchor.
