They ought to get permission to drop a "you gotta love it baby" from Hot Rod... I miss that.

Buckle up is okay... because it makes sense. Every other Bolerism must go.
 
Besides... Locke steals people's ideas to sound smart. He admitted doing it as the main reason he had someone on his show. Then he justified it by saying 'at least I am honest' about it. Stealing isn't honest. Even if you tell people you are stealing from them.

Locke is OUR tool. Let's all address our posts to him. Then he can tell us when he took them right off the forum.

BTW, did anyone hear Locke fill in for the evening show the other day? He got pissed at a texter for saying "Hayward Sux" and went off the deep end. He calls this kid up on the air and tells him he's going to destroy him, then completely pussed out and ended up kissing the kid's ***. It was Lawkward.

Please provide a link. I need to see this.

BTW, Locke is the biggest tool out of the two. I actually think Boler is a really nice guy even though he is likely less knowledgeable than most. Locke creeps me out with his Hayward hard on interviews along with his arrogance towards the fan base. His little diatribe pretty much calling out all Jazz fans who didn't like the idea of maxing out Hayward as poor fans put me over the top. He took the whole Hayward thing personally when fans worried about the long term ramifications of such a deal. Honestly, he might be knowledgeable about the game and about the underlying statistics, but he is a grade A douchebag in my book. That's not even taking into account that he is the WORST radio announcer in the history of the NBA.

I voted Boler because his Boler-isms are intolerable. "Houdini" is terrible. That bounce pass is not a "skip pass". You cannot "hammer down" a three pointer.

Still might be better than "he just took that cookie from the cookie jar" to describe a steal and meanwhile the action has moved on and somebody scores, so the game is on what I call "Locke delay", while he talks really fast to try to catch up and tell you what just happened... sortof.

Or..

"He'll buy that one, and get one for free"

There are a bunch of them that are equally as annoying as a "hammer down" 3, or a "nothing but net" bank shot.
 
I love boler. (Alot of others must like him too or he wouldnt be doing big time SEC football games as well)
We are lucky to have him.

**** locke

This is true.

Locke is definately smarter but boler has a voice that is just so pleasant to my ears that its ok if he is dumb as a rock..... his job is to simply state what is going on in the game in an interesting way and sound good doing it
 
I wish we had Joel Meyers for play by play. Should have snagged him when the lakers let him walk a few years ago.
 
I'll take them both over ron boone. At least they show some emotion.

I always cringe when Boler says things like, "he shoots a three!" -when it's clearly a two pointer, or "nothing but net!" -and the ball clangs around the rim a few times. I'm not like a lot of people here and I'd take basketball IQ over Bolerjack. Locke knows his stuff and does a lot for the team. I've never heard him call a game though.

I don't hate Boler as much as others do, but for the life of my his inability to call a 3 point shot is just staggering, to the point where I'm not sure how he can be a basketball PBP guy. It's like he's still looking on the floor, when all you have to do is look at the ref closest to the play and see if he's holding his arm up or his arm down/sideways (it's what I do when I'm watching the game if the shot looks close to me). Even then, I've seen him call 3 point shots where the guy is literally 2-4 feet inside the arc. Multiple times througout many seasons.
