What's new

is there a worse call in sports?

"Houdini" is horrible i'm embarrassed when they say it.
"Bull in a kanter shop" WTF does this mean?
"He'd like to have that one back" - of course he would. I would like to have all misses back.
The whole fry sauce debacle
ANYTHING that Locke says. He is horrible and tries way to hard.

I've heard that in some other commentaries, maybe from Raptors or some channel national. They may refer to "canter" to emphasize his crazy person-like pace when he fights for rebounds and pushes his way into the 2nd chance points. But it's still lame.
 
Boler does not "sound cool." He sounds like some hack in his 50s trying to sound cool. You can tell he knows that he isn't as cool as Harpring. Ima be like HARPRING! SHIIII..

Even worse than the Houdini thing is when it gets shortened to "dini" (dee-nee). Wtf dude? There was a call at the end of the sixers game responding to when Tinsley passed behind his back to Evans, who then dunked. Bolerhack says some like, "Oh my! An oh my moment?!?! A double dee-nee?!?!". Shut the **** up dude.

Cool as in, he's got a good voice, a sexy voice, a sultry voice. I'm getting all hot and bothered just thinking about it. Harpring is about as cool as AIDS though.
 
I guess I'm just not a pretentious blow-hard, overly obsessed with how "cool" our announcers sound. I like that they have fun with the broadcast, and aren't too homerish. Yes, Boler's basketball knowledge and word choice is cringe-worthy at times, and Matt has a touch of the downs, but they're much better than the average NBA crew.

They are all we have so I love them all (except for Harp, he is creepy).
 
It kind of annoyed me at first, but it has grown on me.

Agree'd with pretty much everything GVC said above. Overall they are giant cornballs, but if you don't take them too seriously, it isn't a big deal.
 
Oh, has it been 3 months already? Time for the quarterly I hate our announcers thread so soon. Wow, how time flies.
 
Not sure you're serious or joking, but the term 'skip pass' has been around for a long long time.
Unfortunately Bolerjack often calls passes "skip passes" that aren't skip passes. At first I thought he just never had a good view of the play but now I'm convinced he has no idea what a skip pass is.
