Thank You Matt Harpring!!

[Mongoose]

Nothing against Holly Rowe, but I will miss Harpring. I know many folks here didn't like Harpring at all, but I appreciated listening to him. He brought a unique perspective as a former player and Jazz man. I'll miss him on the broadcasts.

What happened
Fired, retired, moved, new job etc?

I thought harp was ok. I wonder what happened.

 

[LogGrad98]

He probably just decided to enjoy his millions and his family. I don't blame him at all. If I had 5 million I'd never work again, and he certainly has more than that.

I suspect his contract was up and the parties could not agree for terms on a new one. Something similar happened to the gal that was the side line reporter.

can't believe no one has helped out with this but:

Jazz Hire Holly Rowe, Lose Harpring From Broadcast Team

ESPN network analyst Holly Rowe is joining the Jazz while former Jazz forward and color analyst Matt Harpring is no longer on broadcasts.

Two offseason changes to our TV crew that seem like a step back. KK and now Harp. Harp was solid and I will miss him. Unfortunately that probably means more of Michael Smith with Alema. That is a very bad combination.

I like Thurl a lot so I'm not too upset.

That said I thought Harp was fine at the job too and never saw why some hated him in the job.

 

[Jingled]

I don't care for Holly Rowe or Mike Smith so this is really gonna make watching games less enjoyable for me.

Had no issue with Harpring. Boler is the real problem; he is an upgrade to Steve Brown but they are the same type.

What funny is that this does not answer the question. Like at all.

Wow, that’s sad. Money doesn’t buy harpriness, though.. as they say.

It did for him. He's the harpriest guy I know. And it's not even close.

Except for maybe that J-O-R-D-A-N C-L-A-R-K-S-O-N guy. Whew, hope I spelled that right.

 

[jom2003]

Harp is less worse than Boler.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Is there a chance that Boler and Harp weren’t getting along? Every now and then there’s be an uncomfortable back and fourth, or am I reading too much into that

I think they probably are trying to get more diverse with the commentary so Ryan hired a white, Mormon, female. I liked Harpring.

She’s Mormon?

Kristen Kenny wanted to return and was replaced (she’s said as much on Twitter).

I liked KK and nothing against Holly Rowe, but I don’t think she brings anything to the table that KK didn’t provide already. But now Ryan Smith can say he got an ESPN talent to come do our sideline reporting so I’m sure that’s a feather in his cap. Thurl in favor of Harpring is a slight upgrade. Smith and Alema in the studio are pure dog ****.

I liked Harp and his massive toupee and I will miss his one or two times a game where I’m facepalming to his dorky attempts to be funny.
