Steve Brown and Craig Bollerjack are just terrible.

What's wrong with Boler? He has a good voice for broadcasting, is smart and keeps it interesting. He wouldn't be doing national NCAA games if he was a hack.
Steve Brown on the other hand is BORING

Does anyone like any sports announcers or radio in Utah. Every 1 says 1280 and 1320 are full of tools and DJ/PK/Boler/Booner/Harpring/Alema/Pace all suck. What do you expect from an announcer is what I want to know

Let me translate, *** this translation is not necessarily the opinion of the one translating.

"Unless the announcer is me, they suck"

Let me know if I took any liberties with that translation.

Thanks

He's dumb as hell basketball wise. He constantly says some of the dumbest **** that shows he has a zero basketball IQ.

I like Ron Boone, limited Harpring, that old drunk dude, Pace, and Thurl. So throw that hyperbole that someone can't dislike Bolerjack and the 1320 monkeys but like other pro commentators out the window. Some y'all act like if one Jazz fan dislikes one guy and another another then we're all haters of everything everywhere. Way to parse things out in your brains.
 
I like how people expect lead commentators to be knowledgeable about the games they call. 85% of them aren't close to experts, whatsoever. Their job is to talk. That's why they put "analysts" on the broadcast team, to educate you dolts that don't understand the game you're watching.

So basically every announcer ever has sucked?

Not every one. Milwaukee usually has quality announcers. The Clippers too.

Ian Eagle in NJ is the best young play-by-play guy in the business. Walt Frazier isn't everyone's cup of tea; but he's original.

As far as the rest of the league is concerned, it's mostly amatuer night. Cheerleaders in suits. Bolerjack may not be great but in comparison to the rest of the league, he's clearly in the half.
 
This thread is a waste of time. Have you ever seen Houston's TV commentators (I was glad that Drexler who always moan about every single call against his team is gone but the new color commentator is giving oscar prizes and points out of 10 for players who according to them flop in a position), Mike & Tommy Heinsohn, pure homerism. Phx suns' TV guys have childish voices. I can't stand listening them. How about Raptors? They know they suck but they think it's cool and hilarious. They keep overrating softies like Bargnani, Calderon and their management etc. born loser team and born loser sportcasters. How about Portland's announcers? Classless at best. Memphis' TV play-by-play guy is so in love with his team's players that he sometimes forgets calling the game and keeps praising them. That's not good sportcasting.

I like Jazz broadcasting crew (Booner -except Mountain America blah blah s**t- was better than Harp. Harp is inexperienced and needs time. He can be good at it), Hawks' announcer and yes, Dominique does a great job as a color commentator. Detroit's guys are also good professionals, no crying, no sense of homerism, they give credit where it's due. Lakers' Stu Lantz is decent. Boler IS one of the best in NBA and there IS a reason why he calls some other sports games on national TV channels for a long time.
 
You guys need to listen to the Rockets announcers. Those dudes are horrible. The Nuggets and Warriors are pretty pathetic too.
 
Best radio announcer on the planet: Cornbread Maxwell.


"During the first quarter of tonight's radio broadcast of the Celtics game against the Houston Rockets,one of the Celtics players managed to fake out the referee to get a call to go his way. The referee who made this call was Violet Palmer, who happens to be a woman. Cedric Maxwell, the analyst / sidekick on the Celtics broadcast team, proclaimed "Get back in the kitchen!" when she made the call. Max's partner, Sean Grande, tried to throw him a lifeline by pointing out that they had both been previously impressed by Palmer's officiating, but Max continued "Get back in the kitchen and fix me some bacon and eggs!"

Huh? Thank you for defining "their job" so those of us who don't care for his work can see the light and change our tunes.

It's not about what other announcers do or don't. It's about what we, the market, prefer to hear. Are you really expecting me to like Bolerjack because 85% of his competition is equally or more worthless? Sure, and you should drink Mr. Veggies cabbage juice because 85% of the competing juices taste like *** as well. Yes it turns you green, but have you drank the others? That Houston brand is so terrible it makes your ****** bleed for months. Is that what you want? The Houston brand? Or do you want the Toronto brand who are homers for their own brand. It gives you horrible indigestion that bubbles so hot your eyes could liquefy instantly if a burp hit you squarely. Documented medical truth.

I don't get off like others apparently do by listening to some great bravado spew out his neighbors ******* every 3rd night. Protecting Bolerjack by pointing to the terrible alternates is no defense at all. I want Cristal, not piss water. If I can't have Cristal then I'll go without. I'm not drinking piss water because, well, the other piss water is worse.

Y'all sound proud to be piss water drinkers.
 
Well, Frank, looky here, eh? The winner of the special olympics is still a winner, caincha see? A champ is a champ, and has every damn right to be proud of it. I should autta know--I won me a pie-eatin contest once. Proudest day of my life, tellya what!
 
Boler is 200 million times better than Brown. Brown is the definition of hack.

Boler is a knucklehead! He makes 10 mistakes a game, and is boring as they come. Brown is actually somewhat intelligent! I'd rather listen to him any day of the week.
 
I'm really surprised by home many people dislike Boler. He's truly one of the best play by play guys in the nation. Dude has the pipes for it, he's not to big of a homer, and he's fun to listen to. You guys are acting like Locke would be a better choice.

Boler is fine... his 'Buckle Up' schtick is tired, but whatever, he's a good play by play guy.

Steve Brown is a bad joke. Just as awful as David James and Pace Mannion were. The only way you like any of those three is if you're a sheltered and cultureless---- well, I won't even say it.

Did somebody borrow Oprah's rubber stamp of approval again? Truly.
