Due to the popularity of the "Rate Bolerjack" thread, I give you Rate Harpring.

3.50 for his weird risque obsession with fry sauce. Though it's purty gud.

I gave him a 6. He has untapped potential, imo. He may never tap it, though, due to (a) the qualities of our broadcast team and their goals, and (b) the sucktitude of Boler.

6 is prolly too high, doe

He's a 6 on his good days and a 4 on his bad days, so I gave him a 5.

I like Matt... not sure if you guys knew this he played football in high school.

I give him an 8.

Between his commentating, fry sauce and his hair when he first started, he was pretty awful. I remember reading things online about him years ago about how big of a Jazz homer he was. The thing I like about Harpring, he's like Gordon Hayward's Jazz career and has improved every year he's called games - at least to me he has.

The Boler thread opened my eyes that I'm pretty easy going when it comes to announcers. Harpring may not be a big name or be all that interesting, but he's a likable guy and loves his job.

I like the what's a skillet guy too. Jazz are lucky to have him and have had him for this long too. Hot Rod and Boone are the best for me (even if Boone comes across as a ditsy gma.)

I think I have an irrational love for Matt because of that terrible team he anchored that went .500 with a **** roster. That season was strangely fun and I remember it fondly.

Also, the head to head matchups with artest that led to him getting frustrated and getting T’d up. Also, during the Houston years you could see the frustration in T-macs eyes when he’d check in like “**** I really don’t want to deal with his BS tonight”
He’d get a layup or two just because McGrady didn’t want to wrestle with him.

He’s a fine announcer... I think maybe announcers are like cable or cell phone companies... They get noticed for their annoyances rather than the things they do good. I enjoy Brent Barry, Ian Eagle, Hot Rod back in the day... but most I just tolerate and there are certain guys that are straight garbage (Reggie Miller is public enemy number one for me of the national guys). Then sometimes you have to go arch the Boston or Houston homers and the game is just better on mute.

I love Boone... that old bastard is a pimp... believe it.

He’s also just a down to earth guy... I watch him pregame before Sacramento and GS games... he knows everyone and gets hugs from all the security and other personnel... just seems like a good dude. He’s associated with Hot Rod too which takes him up a notch.

I'm right there with you. I don't get the hate for him on this board over the years.

I like how he makes fun of Boler. Often Boler doesn't know how to respond.

Hayward’s Jazz career is a 0. Or a 2 as in a deuce because I’d take a **** on his stupid face if I could.
