The Official I Hate Bolerhack and/or Harpring Thread...

[Joe Bagadonuts]

I really like Harpring when he came in last year during the playoffs. He was fantastic. This year I've enjoyed him and Boler. I think they are hilarious and do a good job. I'm really sick of how many advertisements they do though... its getting out of hand.

For those of you complaining about our announcers, it could be worse...

It could be better... a lot better. Hot Rod was fun to listen to. He was a fan who shared insight, frustration and joy. He'd get so enthusiast when they played well, "John Stockton at his everlovin' best" and so annoyed when they played poorly, "Four seconds and seven tenths of another second to go. (He was incapable of comprehending the tenths of a second thing.) Let's see if the Jazz can finally figure out how to inbound a basketball." Maybe they could hire Tony Parks to do Jazz broadcasts using his Hot Rod imitation. I definitely agree with those who prefer Steve Brown.

These current broadcasters just feel like dorks paid to spout the company line. Their job is to feed bubblegum to the audience no matter what's happening on court. The downgrade after losing Hot Rod (and the decision to move him from simulcast to radio only) was the worst Jazz personnel change in their history. Worse than the loss of Stockton, Malone, Sloan, Williams or LHM. Imagine how entertaining it would have been to hear Hots call this last season.

You think Boler & Harp suck? Ok. Who is your alternative? Steve Brown & Booner maybe? Where is your God now?

Did you read my post? This is HEAVEN.

I liked Boler mostly. Until they paired Harpring with him full time. Now Harpring takes the conversation completely off course, and interrupts him and takes about a bunch of crap nobody cares about. And Boler seems powerless to ignore him and talk about the game.

I liked Harpring last year in an occasional role. Now I want him to go away.

Man you had me at cheese, cheese wrapped in bacon with melted cheese sauce with bacon bit sprinkles.

Everyone who wanted Harpring as a replacement for Boone only felt that way because he wasn't anywhere near the caliber of goober that he is when he was with Boone. That, and for some reason people had this false impression that Harpring would provide more insight to the game because he was on the team.

Just imagine if we had Channing 'Frye Sauce' on our team...
