For asking quick Jazz related questions without having to start a whole new thread.
This. My bet is, BYU grad, friend of Ryan's somehow. Maybe nephew or something? Who knows. But he straight blows at it, no charisma at all, in-your-face milquetoast all the way. He has the attitude of someone who somehow scored a gig he was not qualified for and knows that he pulled one over on everyone. That screaming at the end made me think of this for some reason:How did the new arena timeout hype guy get his job when he’s absolutely terrible at it?

You been under a rock for the last month?One Love is back?!?!
I come here maybe once a month man. It’s been the off-season.You been under a rock for the last month?
So...yes.I come here maybe once a month man. It’s been the off-season.
That one is easy. You haven’t realized yet the prevailing “who you know, where you served your mission” culture?How did the new arena timeout hype guy get his job when he’s absolutely terrible at it?
Wow, I didn’t see this, but feel free to cut to my post for the quick summary version. Great minds you know….,This. My bet is, BYU grad, friend of Ryan's somehow. Maybe nephew or something?

Really a microcosm of Utah in a single dude. Just painful. I much preferred the radio guy in that role, he was solid, and knew how to work the crowd.

Worked for the Rockets in the same role just last year. Seemingly no connection to Utah. Maybe he just got hired for it, but I cannot see why when the radio dude did such a good job. I really feel like Ryan is changing **** just for the sake of change. Still adding and removing stickers from his new toy. SMFH
Allen Handy, that was the guy I think. He was great. Loved him on the radio and he was the best personality for the Jazz. Unless he just left, replacing him was a mistake, imo.
