He is… he or his dad did stand up for a while… but Kustok is amazing too… and RJ is genuinely hilarious… our three aren’t on the level of any of their three. I just think if you keep hunting for talent their are good people out there… but it’s like we turn the mic over to someone and no matter how shorty they are they get the job for 20 years… it’s weird. Boler legit is just not a basketball guy.

I don't think there are. Go listen to like G League broadcast or broadcast any minor league team. It's an extremely hard job.

Yeah I forget about the new team. Always got a kick out of Jefferson and Kustok is also hilarious. It’s not stilted like when Holly sits in for us, their level of expertise is top shelf and their rapport and repartee is genuine. Definitely a fun listen.

Harpring was so corny it was entertaining at times.


Kristen was the most generic dime a dozen sideline reporter imaginable. I can't imagine missing her and I can't remember a single thing about her personality or style. (And to be fair this is the case with basically 100% of sideline reporters. It's a job with very little room to impress or show personality)

Dude really??? You don’t remember a thing about Kristen? I don’t know man.o_O

It's not Holly's fault the broadcast is bad. She has nothing to work off of with how bad Boler/Thurl are. Plus, it really ducks up the flow when someone says something that is objectively wrong and then everyone else has to adjust and act like what that person said makes sense, which Thurl and Boler do CONSTANTLY. Idk how many times Boler had said some clearly wrong thing then everyone else is like in that awkward spot of deciding whether to correct him and make the broadcast clunky/awkward or just adjust on the fly and act like it made sense.

I don't get complaining about her voice. Overall I think the voice thing is mostly something people place blame on when they don't like someone. Maybe it's something they can't pinpoint themselves so they place it on the most front and center thing.

I agree with this. Holly has said some weird **** too though.

Kustok is also super smart and invested… whereas Holly is doing it as one of like 5 gigs… I do respect the hustle.

Boler is a moron and does derail the whole thing with his stupidity… like having a terrible QB… not sure a RB or TE can shine when he’s out there throwing pick six’s.

Thurl is kinda just dry.. he’d work well with someone that was excitable maybe… I just think they should scrap the whole thing and see if they can find something better.
 
Lauri is still rock solid, but the lack of star power is going to catch up with this team. Maybe not enough to drop down into the bottom 3 spots, so they’ll need a little bit if lottery luck. . . but this hot streak won’t hold.

In fact, regardless of how fun it was to win the two overtime games, drop both those and we’d be at 2-4 and “tanking”

Well Boler and Thurl are getting a little long in the tooth, and Holly, well you know…..

Thurl and Holly seem like AI versions of commentators… like it’s just not quite natural… Boler is like an old man using technology… just constantly confused over basic ****.

I often listen to the opposing team broadcast… and while some are a bit too homerific I find them genuinely knowledgeable about both teams. And generally just is really natural and fluid.

She is so mediocre at her job. The only reason she is around is that the Jazz wanted to hire a bigger name and unfortunately she was available. Of course the only reason she was available is that other places realized she was mediocre.

Isn't she a BYU alum as well?
 
And I like most national announcers… Reggie Miller is about the only one I shudder at when I see he’s calling the game. Our broadcast in general just feels so blah… like even have some more weird **** like the diamond play of the game. Maybe go to a two man booth and bring a funny person in for a quarter to liven stuff up.

I just miss Hot Rod I guess.
 
Also when Vando got his finger roll blocked by the rim I lost all hope for him to ever have a significant skill jump as a scorer.
